Set up Lisar on macOS with OpenVPN Connect

Before setting up Lisar on macOS

Make sure your Lisar profile is active before starting. For macOS, download the .ovpn file from the Lisar panel and use OpenVPN Connect Upload File.

The setup guide should not expose manual OpenVPN usernames, passwords or private connection values.

Install OpenVPN Connect

Install OpenVPN Connect or another compatible OpenVPN client for this device. After installation, open the app and choose the option to add a profile from a file.

The user-facing Lisar setup path is based on downloading the profile file from the panel and uploading it in the OpenVPN client.

Download and upload your .ovpn file

Open the Lisar panel, select the active profile, and download the .ovpn file for that profile. Then open OpenVPN Connect and choose Upload File.

1. Open Lisar Panel.
2. Go to your active profile.
3. Download the .ovpn file.
4. Open OpenVPN Connect.
5. Choose Upload File.
6. Select the downloaded .ovpn file.
7. Save/import the profile.
8. Connect.

Select the downloaded .ovpn file, import or save the profile, and confirm that the imported profile matches the Lisar profile you intended to use.

Connect and confirm status

Start the connection from OpenVPN Connect and wait for the client to show an active connection state.

If any required fields or credentials are requested, use only the panel/profile/backend-supported flow. Do not guess server names, account values, private keys, or credentials.

Related setup guides

Use the Windows, iOS, Android or router guides for other devices. For fallback cases, review the L2TP/IPsec guide only where your device and Lisar profile support that setup path.
