Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

This is 10 day limited trial version of "VpnCilla" which is also available in this market. Before you buy the Full Version of "VpnCilla", please test with this free "VpnCilla (Trial)". VpnCilla is a VPN Client for VPN Servers as FritzBox, Cisco PIX/ASA, Fortigate or other VPN Servers with IPSec Pre-shared Keying (Xauth IKE/PSK). Features: * No root access needed (if the device fully conforms to Android 4) * Compatible with Fritzbox, Cisco PIX/ASA, Fortigate VPN Servers and others (?) * Connects/Disconnects with a single click (by a Shortcut-Widget) * Automatic Reconnect Mode on WiFi/Mobile failover/outage * Supports Multiple Profiles * Supports automatic Cisco Split Routing * Passwords may be stored in profile or always manually entered when connecting (which is much more safe) * Profile automatically transferred to full version (don't uninstall the Trial until the first run of the full version) Advanced Settings: * Possibility to specify WiFi Blacklists/Whitelists to explicitely deny/allow VPN on only specific WiFi ESSDs * Possiblity to specify Manual Routes and/or DNS Server and much more... Restrictions: - Mention the security risk if passwords are stored in profile in case your device will be hacked or stolen! - VpnCilla runs only if the TUN driver (tun.ko) as well as the the Android 4 VPN routing infrastructure is included in the firmware. UNFORTUNATELY NOT ALL DEVICE MANUFACTURER YET HAS INCLUDED IT!! Check with "VpnCilla (Trial)" first! - Only IKE/PSK Xauth authentication is supported (no PPTP, no L2TP, no Hybrid RSA, no SSL, no Cisco AnyConnect, ...) - supports IPv4 only (no IPv6) - supports WLAN/WIFI as well as Mobile Data up to 3g. VpnCilla is unstable over 4g (LTE) on some devices / with mobile providers - Active Screenfilter apps as Twilight or Lux might prevent selecting of the security dialog checkbox - VpnCilla can't handle phase 1 rekeying initiated by the VPN server. On Fritzboxes this will occure after 1h connection time whereas on Cisco VPN servers the rekeying interval is configurable and by default after 8h. Typically the session stalls for 2-3 minutes until VpnCilla initiates a reconnect.

VpnCilla (Trial) APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the VpnCilla (Trial) APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 68fae1ba1a6e4611dc1be9efbe573916.
