More About OpenVPN for Android
This application is designed for Android 4.0 and above and utilizes the VPNService API. It does not require any special permissions or root access on your phone. This app allows you to connect to an OpenVPN server, but it does not provide any VPN services itself.
To connect to an OpenVPN server, you will need to have the OpenVPN client software installed. This app is not a VPN service provider, but it can connect to your own, company, university, or provider's OpenVPN server. It can also connect to the VPN service of many commercial VPN providers.
There are multiple OpenVPN apps available in the Playstore, each with their own unique features. For more information about the different clients, you can visit the FAQ section on the project's website.
If you are using an Android device older than 6.0, this app may require access to your photos and media in order to import OpenVPN profiles from your device's storage. This access is categorized by Google as "accessing your media and photos."
This app only supports tun mode, not tap mode. This means that it cannot connect to tap-based VPN services. This limitation is due to the Android 4.0 platform.
If you are interested in testing out new features and updates before they are officially released, you can join the beta program by using the "join beta" button. However, please note that the beta may not always be available as it is primarily used for pre-testing release candidates.
If you would like to help translate the app into your native language, you can visit the project's website for more information.
If you encounter any bugs or have suggestions for the app, you can report them via email or on the project's Google Code page. However, it is recommended to first check the FAQ section before contacting the developer.
The app uses its own non-vulnerable version of OpenSSL to ensure security. For more information about OpenVPN and the OpenSSL Heartbleed vulnerability, you can visit the project's website.
It uses the VPNService API of Android 4.0+ and requires neither Jailbreak nor root on your telephone.
