OpenVpn for Android import greyed out files

[telumehtar 0]

I am trying to use OpenVpn for Android. I have downloaded .ovpn files from the config generator, but when I try to import them into the app, they are displayed grayed out and cannot be selected.

 

Could it be that there is something about the contents of the files that the app does not like?

 

I am using Lollipop if that makes a difference.

Many thanks for the replies. Seems like there might be multiple issues with Lollipop. For now I am getting by with the other OpenVPN client and I'll keep trying until the bugs are fixed.

I had the same issue, my resolution was to click on "internal storage" instead of "downloads";scroll down until you see ur configuration files, the same file that was greyed out should now be in black and able to be highlighted/selected

Worked for me too (Android 5.1 Lollipop). Thank you!
