Frequently Asked Questions
How long does setup take?
The entire setup process typically takes less than 5 minutes, including downloading the configuration file and establishing your first connection.
Which clients are compatible?
All standard OpenVPN clients work including OpenVPN Connect, Tunnelblick (Mac), OpenVPN GUI (Windows), and mobile apps.
Can I use on multiple devices?
Yes, but simultaneous connections may be limited based on your plan. Check your subscription details for concurrent connection limits.
TCP vs UDP - which is better?
UDP is faster and recommended for most users. TCP is more reliable in restrictive networks or when UDP is blocked.
What makes Coronium different?
We use genuine mobile carrier IPs (4G/5G) instead of datacenter IPs, providing better compatibility with services that block traditional VPNs.
How to change locations?
Download a new configuration file for your desired country from your dashboard. Each location requires its own .ovpn file.
