Extreme battery drain, it's taking 22% of my battery. Tried changing the keep alive but that didn't help either. Never had this issue before. Again, the battery drain is extremely bad even when the VPN is off the battery is still draining. OnePlus 3T running Resurrection remix with exkernel manager. Tried changing kernels, same thing. Tried contacting the RR team and they said the issue wasn't from them. Fix this.

B70%
by B####:

If you choose static keys the IP address fields are no longer editable, you need to change type to Android cert the modify ip then change back to static. Also it would be nice if you could connect to more than one vpn at a time.

W70%
by W####:

I was stuck with the official app, but that one forces the user to use a screen lock the app thinks is safe, where its up to the user to choose what is safe for his needs. So once i got so anoid with that su*king official app i did consider dropping vpn at all, but then i found openVPN for Android from Arne Schwab, and it doesn't lorded it over the user to chose his login as he sees fit. So once again, nice app, and thank you for honoring my right to chose my login as i see fit. I do like your gui more!

Best openvpn connector for Android. I use it conjunction with Tasker plugin to connect it with a privacy VPN provider of choice each time I surf in untrustworthy networks. And what shall I say, it works flawlessly. Chapeau

M70%
by M####:

Like this a lot better than Connect, only problem is "Allowed Apps" doesn't work at all. I am rooted with Magisk and have custom kernel so I'll test on vanilla soon.

M70%
by M####:

Excellent OpenVPN client that works flawlessly on my Samsung Galaxy S8 without root. Supports my pre-shared key ovpn config file and the verbose logging and configurable routes and other options are perfect.

H70%
by H####:

Not the greatest UI, I'd over look that if it had an internet kill switch... Major sadface. If it does have a kill switch then I haven't found it which reflects on what I said about the user interface.

A70%
by A####:

When this app is set on 'start on wakeup' on my Sony android TV it reboots immediately after the start up process has been completed. Very annoying.

M70%
by M####:

Very recent openvpn version. Supports importing complex openvpn profiles and keeps configuration that doesn't map to GUI. Exempts some apps from VPN, very useful and seemingly magical! Very well done. Recommended

M70%
by M####:

I'm so sorry I overlooked this app for so long. Constantly kept up to date. Excellent features & logical, complete GUI. This developer deserves supporting.

M70%
by M####:

The AUTH_FAILED Behavior setting is not kept. I change it to Ignore, retry, but when I exit and enter again, that selection disappears

M70%
by M####:

I am getting "error" when trying to connect with the "official app" but not with this great app! Thanks for the good work and please keep going!

T70%
by T####:

After latest update not working. Got fatal error, unrecognized command: cannot load inline certificate file and ca md too weak

M70%
by M####:

Please change or make obvious. txt filename filter on import. Can't import .ovpn files due to extension name. renaming to .txt works

M70%
by M####:

This application cannot differentiate between Firefox and Firefox beta. I wanted to use Firefox beta for private browsing and configured the VPN to only allow traffic from it to be routed through the VPN, however it also seems to route Firefox traffic through the VPN.

Y70%
by Y####:

Works great on my Android box but now it's not working and I can't get ahold of anybody to help me figure it out chats not working email nothing please help

T70%
by T####:

Default VPN can be selected in SETTINGS tab. But from time to time, it mysteriously becomes unselected (Quick Tile says: No VPN selected.), and I have to select it once more.

M70%
by M####:

Best openvpn client. It's free and has "No ADS". Is SOCKS5 supported for VPN chaining? Is yes, how can I configure it?

V70%
by V####:

This app saved my ass. It's extensive configurability gives me a ton of power on how I want my VPN to work.

M70%
by M####:

The official app doesn't seem to like 4096 bit keys, but this one does and has a much nicer interface

M70%
by M####:

Very Good; Specially Better Than The Official Client. The app needs some improvements. Thanks.

I70%
by I####:

Not bad, but recently stopped updating DNS server settings. Even if I set it by hand, there's no effect :(

V70%
by V####:

It's nice to see that unlike OpenVPN Connect, this app actually honors the routing table. Being able to access my local file server under the VPN is a huge plus for me

M70%
by M####:

It does not work on android unless you are android genius lol no none of the features work and there is no way to configure unless you are a android professional

Y70%

M70%
by M####:

Worked well 3 days but after that disconnecting from any ovpn connection made my galaxy s6 to turn off suddenly! Then I decided to use original open vpn client

M70%
by M####:

This is simply the best vpn client among the rest. Together with openvpn servers app, you can make vpn connections on the fly, reliable and very fast servers, especially in Japan servers. Thanks for this app
