Thanks for the info on Android I've moved the files from Downloads into what appears to be the most high level fold but still get the same error.

On the Android device after you moved the configuration files, you would need to delete and then re-import the profile. Attached is a screen snip of the file structure on my Samsung tablet. The only three stand alone files in the top level are three different ovpn profiles.
I personally have tried to connect through two or three different mobile hotspots, one stand alone device from Verizon and one or two from different iPhones. None were successful. Mobile hotspots and their capabilities are really carrier specific. Yet I have no problems connecting to the vpn through Wi-Fi at a restaurant, park, airport, neighbors house, etc.
