How to Use MTN Night Plan in Daylight Using OpenVPN (Smartphones & PC)

I am a good fan of MTN Night Plan, its really cool and enjoyable. One certain time when I have exhausted the 1.5GB for daily I need to go online to correct an error which was so so urgent, I have no other option for me than to try some tricks because am not gonna buy another plan.

Of course I used the MTN SimpleServer which I set proxy and port to 127.0.0.1:8080 to any software I want to browse with, but it sucks because I’ll go over changing all again when 9PM hits 😀 . Then I discovered using OpenVPN which was so damn easy.

Note: Proxies only work to TCP Servers, don’t use UDP!

 

This trick also work to Smartphones (Android and iOS) do exact settings with proxy too

Download OpenVPN Connect for Android

Download OpenVPN Connect for iOS

I use iOS which I set proxy going to Settings->OpenVPN->Enable Proxy and enter the same proxy above

Same to Android. 🙂
