    Is there a way to change a "remote" after the profile has been installed

    I made a script that generated nice unified .ovpn configuration files for easy importing into OpenVPN Connect.

    Thinking I was smart, I made two remote lines:

    remote vpn.example.com
    remote 42.42.42.42

    That way, things would work even if DNS broke down.

    Now, of course, we've gotten a new public IP. I've changed the vpn.example.com to point at that, of course, but is there a good way to change the other remote on an already installed userbase?

    HI eye42.

    Yeah, technically you can.
    Profiles that are already imported to Connect App are located in
    Code:
    /Users/user/Library/Application Support/OpenVPN Connect/profiles
    Locate your .ovpn profile and edit it via text editor to make changes to the --remote directive.
    Once you've saved the adjustments make sure to restart your connect app.

    Hope this helps.

    With Regards,
