Where the configs come from
For VLESS, VMess, Trojan and Shadowsocks public-import feeds, see individual source decisions and API provenance. The following describes OpenVPN only.
The OpenVPN source for this version is the official VPN Gate CSV for clients. The VPN Gate homepage invites developers to use the CSV for their own client app: “you can use CSV List to make your own VPN Gate client app”. This supports public-client integration; it is not a claim of an unrestricted commercial licence.
Current snapshot
Retrieved 2026-10-07T12:40:45.441597+00:00. CSV records: 99. Catalogue: 82 original files after selection and deduplication. Records excluded for source restrictions: 17. The catalogue is not the total server count shown on the VPN Gate website; it uses only this API snapshot.
Automatic source refresh is scheduled every six hours. This page shows the last successfully acquired complete snapshot; the retrieval time below comes from that snapshot, not a connection test. Failed refresh attempts retain last-good files. Source refresh and syntax checks are not network monitoring. Files may become outdated immediately; connections are not independently tested.
Selection rules
Academic Use Only markers and other detected usage restrictions are excluded before deduplication. A restriction on one record applies to all records with the same IP. Remaining files pass a limited syntax parser. Duplicate profiles and address/port/transport combinations are not repeated.
Downloads are the original files, byte for byte, from the OpenVPN_ConfigData_Base64 field of the official CSV, without test modifications. Embedded client keys are part of the client profiles intentionally published by VPN Gate, not private keys collected from GitHub. Metadata and SHA-256 hashes for every file are available in the JSON catalogue.
Terms and trust
There is no paid access. Demo advertising placeholders are not monetised; no advertising provider is selected. The absence of a restrictive marker does not establish commercial rights; monetisation requires a separate terms review. We do not represent VPN Gate or claim that its operators endorse this catalogue. Follow the VPN Gate rules and applicable law.
VPN Gate describes log retention in its project policy. Individual volunteers may have different terms. We do not confirm a no-logs policy or guarantee privacy on public servers.
Visit counter
If the counter is enabled, pages send a random UUID from sessionStorage and the page path to this same website. The counter does not store IP addresses or User-Agent strings; the hosting provider processes network requests under its own policy. The server hashes the identifier separately for each UTC day. On subsequent visits, session receipts are cleaned up while retaining the current and two preceding UTC dates; deletion exactly after 72 hours is not guaranteed. DNT disables sending; ?qa=1 excludes the current session from counting. The .ovpn downloads contain no scripts. Sessions are counted by day and are not unique people: a new day or browser session may produce a new count. Bots and spoofed events may affect the figures. Pages use no third-party analytics.
