Yes. Well, on iOS, Safari will just ask you "do you want to import in OpenVPN?" and you click "yes!" and done :-) - I never managed to get that done on Android. So it downloads, and stores on flash. Then, in OpenVPN for Android, you click on "(+)" on top, and when it asks you for the name of the new profile, klick on "IMPORT" and it will go to "Downloads" where you find the .ovpn downloaded. Not *as* easy, but still explainable with like 5-6 screenshots :-) What I do to make the "type in web address" more convenient and more secure is to generate a long and random URL https://ourserver/adgwerbasdfserkbgarbagle/company.ovpn and then run "qrencode" on that, to generate a QR code with that URL in. The QR code is displayed on the web app the users run from their PC, and then they can just point their Android camera at it, click on "open URL", it will go download + save, and then "import"... > That's a lot simpler solution than the one I was thinking.
