HMA! TIP: HOW TO DOWNLOAD THE HMA! PRO VPN IOS APP FOR IPAD, IPHONE AND ITOUCH

Did you know that you can download the HMA! Pro VPN app directly onto your iPhone, iPad, or iTouch from the Apple App Store? You can get the app from here, or you can visit the App Store and search for “HMA!”
Once you have an HMA! Pro VPN account, simply login with your account details, or you can register for a new account and pay directly from within the app.
Getting started
Apple does not allow us to create an app which controls your VPN connection fully – instead our app allows you to correctly setup the VPN settings. You will need to activate it yourself in the “Settings” tab on your device.

To use the app you will need an active HMA! Pro VPN account and an internet connection.
If you already have an HMA! Pro VPN account, just enter your username and password into the “Existing Member” fields, then tap “Login.” If you have forgotten your password, tap the “Forgot Password” button.

If you don’t have an account yet, you can register for one by entering a username, password and your email address into the “New Member” fields, and then tap “Register.”
Please note that you need to place an order for an HMA! Pro VPN account before you can start using the VPN. To do this, click on the arrow on the box marked “Status” which will allow you to place an order using your Apple ID.
Once you are logged in to your account within the app, you will see an overview of your account; this displays your username, the remaining days of your subscription and the type of subscription you have.
In the “VPN Profile” area, you need to select a VPN server location and a VPN protocol (L2TP is default). It’s a good idea to select a server located nearby to get the best speeds.

When both have been selected, tap on “Install Profile.” The app will now download your personal VPN profile for the location you selected and will show you a confirmation window. Here, you need to tap on the “Install” button and confirm the next pop-up by tapping on “Install Now”. The profile will be installed and you can close the window by tapping “Done.”
Note: The passcode that you need to provide (the four digit code) is your iPad/iPhone passcode with which you protect your data. (You’re asked for this code every time you wake or turn on your device before you can access it.)
You can connect to the VPN after having installed a VPN profile by opening the settings menu on your home screen. Tap on “General”, then on “VPN.”

You’re now in the VPN menu and can connect to the VPN by simply moving the slider at the top. The VPN connection will be established within a few seconds and will show you the status and connection duration. Your connection to the VPN server will be confirmed at all times by the small VPN icon displayed in the corner of your screen.
To disconnect from the VPN just simply tap the slider to “Off” as shown in the screenshot below.

If you want to use a different VPN server, just launch the HMA! Pro VPN app again and repeat the process. To change your account settings, billing management, server lists,
and for help and support, please login to your VPN control panel
