OpenVPN Settings for Android
Features: UI similar to Wi-Fi settings; Restart tunnel when connectivity changes (e.g. from wifi to 3g); Start on boot; Passphrase; DNS; Script-Security; Write and View Log File; Open Source (GPLv3);
The prerequisites screen will check your device for root, busybox, tun.ko and the openvpn binary! This should be useful to new users figuring out what's needed to get openvpn running.
A working openvpn config is required.

R.S. Gill. ♥♥♥♥♥_SINCE THE UK FOR A NEW REPORT AND THE PRICE IS FOR YOU CAN BE USED. I AM A NEW REPORT THE PROBLEM Thanks for the use of a new member you're contacting haven't bought or sold from :R.S.Gill ?
All other client, including the official OpenVPN client, only supply TUN; This one works well with TAP dev-type too.
Configuration works fine on my pc but on my phone I see the config but when I click it noting happens it's tap busy box and you name it all is installed running rooted note 4 cyogen
thank you. worked out of the box.
An ovpn with X-Online Header will not worked!
My VPN won't work without this app.
Still works great! Install both Openvpn Installer & Openvpn Settings. Navigate to /data/app/de.schaeuffelhut.android.openvpn.installer-1.apk/assets and copy openvpn-2.1.1-static-busyboxinxbin to /system/xbin. Rename openvpn-2.1.1-static-busyboxinxbin to "openvpn." Set permission to "rwxr-xr-x." Launch "Openvpn Installer" for binary check. These directions worked great for me! "Use VPN DNS Server" option does not forward DNS traffic. This is minor!
I love the word Open source and OpenVpn wouldn't truly be that i not for you so thank you. I love open vpn on the computer but the connect app is unable to run on Android 2.3.6 so i found this app and it works great.
This thing won't install the binaries. And even when I manual install it. It it connects but doesn't.really connect to anything. Or either it doesn't connect or.do anything. Just like I didn't press connect to the server
Tries to install, says that it couldn't mount file system rw, but I go into terminal and it shows that it is but it also shows that it's ro. Not sure why.
Doesn't work on Android 5+ anymore and app hasn't been updated in years. Oh well, time to move on to another app..
always auth
I wish it would autostart on boot. Other than that, no complaints.
Fantastic! Really the only solution for TAP OpenVPNs. Use this and forget about all the other Android OpenVPN clients!
I'm stuck at config file..plz somebody help me,where should i get it?
Thank you for great work, you have saved me a lot of time, because i needed to use OpenVPN with TAP.
Perfect....but lacks custom header support...Add custom header support plz
This app just works, hand it the config files, check you want VPN functionality to be enabled, user + pass and you're done. Would certainly recommend.
Does not work on 4.4
Best openVPN app you can get. Can't seem to get it to work with kitkat though. Won't install the binary.
Dis app is giving me problem dnt knw wot to do anilonga
simple the best with openvpn
it really works.. great!thanks
Anyone can help me on how to connect this?
thank you. worked out of the box.
But where do I get the config files? Im new to this. Thanks!
Am using Nexus 5
I loved this app, but stopped working on Lollipop :(
Installer could not mount /system as RW, manual installation via adb worked, but VPN could still not connect: no errors, log file empty :-/ Same config works just fine with "OpenVPN Connect"...
OpenVPN Settings got me through the last couple years, but after updating to ICS 4.0.3 HTTP traffic over the VPN doesn't work. I get an error stating the (multiple) IP address cannot be resolved. Happens in multiple browsers. LAN and VPN devices can ping each another. Laptop works on VPN fine. I've imported my configuration to an alternate VPN client and that also works. I may return in the future if this client is updated.
This program kept me connected to the VPN when the default Android VPN kept dropping me. The only thing I don't like is having to install Auto Start to make it start when the tablet reboots.
Very happy with this product but would like to see a few things added. The program exit and disconnects without any reason from time to time. Please investigate if there are any remote malicious backdoors that can be exploited. Please add a feature that stops internet traffic if the vpn is disrupted. Something that prevents traffic leaks when the vpn is inadvertently disconnected.
Performance is slightly off, but this is also due to my slow 3G connection, I've noticed that if using all the certificates split up with the .ovpn, it just loops into disconnect and reconnect. Whereas if I just use the .ovpn file on its own, it works good. This is actually the only OpenVPN application that has succeeded me on Cyanogen Mod 10, so I will rate 4 stars. Just the connection needs fixing a little bit :)
This works pretty well under optimal conditions, but fails badly under sub-optimal conditions, when connectivity is erratic. First, it quickly gives up trying to reconnect to the VPN when the connection is broken. Second, it doesn't directly warn or inform the user that the connection has been lost; there is only the status icon, which is easily missed and which lags behind the actual status. Third, while there is an option for logging, the log only covers connection attempts, not disconnects.
I managed to copy config files and all but when I'm about to choose the port, It says startup but nothing happens Nexus 7 C [4.3]
Running N5 stock 4.4.2, rooted, bb, custom kernel. OpenVPN installer doesn't work (cannot mount /system)... So I manually pushed "openvpn" to /system/xbin and set permission to rwxrwxrwx. Also I pushed "liblzo.so" to /system/lib with permission rw-r--r--. Now OpenVPN WORKS :)

This app made my day I will be donating. You follow a guide online have this awesome bridged VPN and official open VPN client can't load the conf? Used installer it verified binaries found already opened this app copied conf and keys to where it asked (in a sub dir no less thank you) and IT WORKED THE FIRST TIME WITH 2 TAPS! THANK YOU THIS APP HAS MADE MY WHOLE DAY :-) !
This is actually free doesn't make you pay after install or turns out to be a 7-day trial offer.
