How to set up VPN in third-party clients
You can use Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection on any of your devices if there is no Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection app for it, or if you want to use third-party clients.
Third-party clients are built-in or can be installed on Wi-Fi routers to protect all your devices at once. You can also set up Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection via third-party clients on smart TVs, or any other device on Windows, Android, iOS, macOS, and Linux.
To set up a third-party client, export a VPN configuration file on My Kaspersky. This file contains connection credentials to import to the device where you want to set up VPN.
At present, you can use Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection via OpenVPN or WireGuard protocol on one device.
How to set up an OpenVPN client
To export an OpenVPN configuration file with connection credentials:
- Go to the VPN tab.
In the VPN for routers section, click Add new configuration.
- Select OpenVPN and click Continue.

A page with connection credentials opens.
