OpenVPN for Android

The 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. The 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 allows you to connect to your own, company, university, or a commercial VPN provider's server.

There are multiple OpenVPN apps available on the Playstore, but this app is unique in that it only supports tun mode and not tap mode. This means that it is not compatible with older versions of Android (before 4.0). For more information on the different OpenVPN clients available, you can visit the FAQ section on the app's website.

If you have an older version of Android (before 6.0), the app may require access to your photos and media in order to import OpenVPN profiles from your device's storage. This is categorized by Google as "accessing your media and photos."

The app also has a beta version available for users to test before it is officially released. The beta is open to anyone who wants to join, but it may not always be available as it is used for pre-testing release candidates.

If you are interested in helping to translate the app into your native language, you can visit the project's homepage for more information. And if you encounter any bugs or have suggestions for the app, you can report them via email or on the Google Code project page. However, it is recommended to read the FAQ section before contacting the developer.

The app also ensures security by using its own non-vulnerable version of OpenSSL, even after the OpenSSL Heartbleed bug. For more information on this, you can visit the app's website. The developer also encourages original and SEO-oriented bug reports and suggestions.
