Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Openvpn for Android is an open source client based on the open source OpenVPN project. It uses the VPNService API of Android 4.0+ and requires neither Jailbreak nor root on your telephone. No, this app is for connecting to an OpenVPN server. OpenVPN is a client software to connect to an OpenVPN server. It is an APP selling or provding any VPN services. It allows to your own/company/university/provider OpenVPN server or to the VPN service of many of the commercial VPN providers. For more information about the different OpenVPN clients in the Playstore see this: http://ics-openvpn.blinkt.de/FAQ.html#faq_androids_clients_title This app implements a feature to import OpenVPN profiles from the SDCard/internal memory. Google categorizes this access "accessing your media and photos" Only tun mode support (Sorry no tap, with Android 4.0 only tun can be supported). The beta is open, you can the beta by using the join beta beta. Please note that often a beta is not available since I mostly use the beta function to pretest release candidates. If you want to help to translate OpenVPN into your native language look at the homepage of this project. Please report bug/suggestions via email or at the code Google Code project. But please read the FAQ before writing me. OpenSSL Heartbleed: OpenVPN for Android uses its own non vulnerable OpenSSL version.
