Already saved files are not revoked. A configuration may stop working earlier if its third-party server changes. Individual OpenVPN checks still use their existing single-use download token.

Request example
curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_24_HOUR_KEY' -H 'Accept: application/json' \
'https://publicvpnlist.com/api/v1/servers?protocol=openvpn&status=online&sort=last_checked&order=desc&per_page=50'The response is paginated. Keep the returned id for details at /api/v1/servers/{id}, cache the ETag, and treat last_checked_at as technical evidence rather than a privacy guarantee.
What each OpenVPN record means
OpenVPN uses TCP or UDP VPN profiles. A usable public configuration requires portable .ovpn profiles and mature clients. PublicVPNList does not publish rows inferred from an open port or incomplete relay metadata.
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
hostname, ip, port | Public connection endpoint metadata. |
transport, transport_security | Transport settings required by the client. |
exit_ip | Public IP observed only after the checker routed traffic through the tunnel. |
handshake_ms, https_first_byte_ms | Checker-region measurements; they are not a speed guarantee for every user. |
config_download_url | A downloadable configuration for a verified row. A source can remove it later (HTTP 410). OpenVPN uses its existing protected download flow: use server_page_url when this field is null. |
speed_mbps, checker_measured_throughput_mbps | Measured tunnel throughput in Mbps; null when not measured. |
latency_ms, checker_measured_tunnel_rtt_ms | Measured tunnel round-trip time. For URI protocols this is an HTTPS round trip, separate from handshake and first-byte time. |
uptime_percent_7d, sessions, technical_quality_score | May be null when this protocol has no matching measurement or scoring model. An absent value is not zero. |
Endpoints and filters
Use protocol=openvpn consistently. Omitting it selects OpenVPN for backward compatibility.
- Server list JSON —
data,meta.total,meta.pageandlinks.next. - Countries and counts.
- Protocol statistics.
- Snapshot version, expiry and export links.
- Protocol snapshot health.
Filter by country=US, transport=tcp, port=443, status=online, fresh_within=3600, min_speed=1, max_latency=500 or min_uptime=90. Metric filters exclude rows where that measurement is unknown.
Use page=1&per_page=50 (maximum 200), fields=id,protocol,country_code,server_page_url, and sort=speed|latency|uptime|last_checked|score|first_seen with order=asc|desc. Follow links.next until null. Compare the returned version if the dataset updates during pagination.
Download metadata in bulk
These complete metadata exports include all records in this protocol snapshot, without pagination. They contain links to configurations, not embedded passwords or client keys.
See all export formats.
Errors and empty catalogs
A successful empty response is HTTP 200 with data: [], meta.total: 0 and links.next: null. It means no checked records are currently published for this protocol, not a broken API. TUIC, WireGuard and IKEv2 require usable configurations and successful full checks before rows can appear.
API errors: 401 missing or expired access key, 400 invalid or repeated parameter, 404 missing record, 405 unsupported method, 429 rate limit, 503 unavailable protocol snapshot. The JSON API permits 60 requests per minute; respect Retry-After. GET/HEAD support conditional caching (304), and OPTIONS provides CORS preflight; data requests require a Bearer key or the 24-hour browser access cookie. Unknown values remain null. Common examples and complete field reference.
Freshness, safety and caching
OpenVPN follows the existing catalog eligibility and measurement policy. Unknown third-party endpoints can still log or alter traffic; use end-to-end encryption and avoid sensitive accounts.
