About VPNC Widget
Please READ following completely!
* This Widget connect to a Cisco VPN Server (PIX/ASA/...) or a Fritzbox by a single click on rooted Android 2.x devices.
Attention: if your device has Android 4+ you should use VpnCilla instead because this App needs root access which is an additional security risk! (VpnCilla does not need root access and has much more features).
* VPN Widget won't work unless...
- You have a rooted (jailbreaked, unlocked) phone
- TUN device available in kernel (CONFIG_TUN=y)
- App installed on the phones internal memory (not on SD - Widgets require this)
- Placed it on homescreen as widget (not as app)
- 'Superuser' rights granted on request
* Forget it, if all this sounds scary - VPNC Widget just won't work!!
* Installation and trouble shooting:
- Install VPNC Widget on homescreen as Widget - not as App!
- Doubleclick widget to change preferences and checking prerequisites of phone (if doubleclick doesn't work, start Vpnc Widget as an App)
- Give "Superuser" rights on request (start Superuser app to verify and use newest Superuser App in case of troubles)
- Never use automatic Taskkillers (it will interrupt the vpnc service!)
- If nothing helps, activate the Debug Flag in the preferences screen and mail me after a trying to connect the session logfile:
/data/data/com.gmail.mjm4456.vpncwidget/cache/vpnc.log
* Restrictions/Issues:
- Supports Pre-Shared-Key (PSK) only (no SSL certificates)
- supports only one user/server profile
- profile credentials incl. passwords are stored at the phone (but hidden for apps without root access)
- if the "advanced routing" kernel feature is unavailable, the VPN connection may be lost when the WiFi hotspot renews DHCP info (you can re-connect by clicking Widget twice)

I'm on 4.4.3 running on a Note3 . The widget is not recognized as it should it works as a shortcut by launching the app but not Connecting the VPN. I used this before on my previous phones and it worked well. maybe it's just not updated for Kitkat.

Doesn't detect root on rooted phone. After placing widget and starting from it, claims it is not started from widget. All that on regular CM11 ROM.

I've used this widget for months now, and it never fails me. Connects super fast and i get amazing speeds with Astrill VPN, even more than my ISP says I can get. Thanks for the amazing creation.

App works. I have noticed that it pops up a message that vpnc has disconnected although I know vpnc is connected. This message appears every 5-10 min.. sometimes annoying.

It fails on getting superuser, although su is working. I would like a few options like reconnect (most important), multiple profiles

App worked beautifully on Android 4.2 but has issues with Superuser privileges in version 4.3 (CyanogenMOD 10.2). It appears in the Superuser 'Allowed' list but fails the prerequisite check & will not connect. Have switched to NPC VPN Client but would happily switch back if the App can be fixed.

I've been using this app for about a year on my Verizon galaxy S3, and up until I updated to android 4.3 (cyanogenmod 10.2 d2vzw). If you're running 4.2 or earlier this app works perfectly (ASA5510, group/user authentication). Unfortunately it will no longer connect after the 4.3 update.

I've tried ALL VPN applications that supposedly supported IPSEC/PSK VPN connections. This application was the only one that worked on my Android 2.3 phone, and after configuring the credentials it literally connects with a single tap. Thank you for making this.
