If you are a ProtonVPN user, it is possible to establish a connection from Blackberry 10 devices. This is how to set-up VPN for BlackBerry 10 via the IKEv2 protocol:
1. Download the ProtonVPN IKEv2 certificate here: https://protonvpn.com/download/ProtonVPN_ike_root.der
2. Open the File-Manager and browse to Downloads.
3. Open the certificate by pressing on it.
4. Check “Restrict usage to VPN“.
5. Press Import.
A confirmation should appear that the certificate is successfully imported.
6. Navigate to Settings –> Networks and Connections –> VPN
7. Press Add at the bottom of the screen to add a new VPN connection
8. Fill the fields as follows:
- Profile Name: Give the profile a display name. It doesn’t matter what it is.
- Server Address: Enter the hostname of the server you wish to connect to (for example nl-130.protonvpn.com). Server hostnames can be found in the Downloads category in your account, under Server Configs section. Each server is named according to its server number and first two letters: https://account.protonvpn.com/downloads

It’s very wrong to had us to connect with your network using a certificate! any examination by the authoroties would cuase problems in the countries that ban VPN services.
Use the old way (user name, server adress, password and pre-shared key) it is just copy and paste nothing relate the user with the VPN privider these creditials can be deleted cuz it is just words and nothing left on the user’s device.

Hello, connections with PSK/Secret (L2TP for example) are not supported by ProtonVPN due to the security flaws that is has and sadly we will never support it.
