Step 1: Download the Certificate

You can obtain the Stomper certificate file (.pem file) from the following sources:

• From the cert folder in your trial or VPN zip file.

1. Open the .pem File:
   • Locate the .pem file you downloaded.
   • Tap on the file to open it. This will prompt the installation of the profile.
2. Install the Profile:
   • Once the profile is opened, tap on “Install” in the top right corner.
   • Enter your device passcode when prompted to authorize the installation.
3. Complete the Installation:
   • A warning sign will appear, indicating the nature of the certificate.
   • Tap “Install” again at the top right and then at the bottom to confirm.

Step 3: Enable Full Trust for the Certificate

To fully trust the newly installed root certificate, follow these steps:
