This 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. This app is not intended for providing free internet access, but rather for connecting to an OpenVPN server.
To connect to an OpenVPN server, you will need to have the OpenVPN client software installed. This app does not sell or provide any VPN services, but it allows you to connect to your own, company, university, or provider's OpenVPN server. It also supports connecting to the VPN service of many commercial VPN providers.
There are multiple OpenVPN apps available in the Playstore, each with their own unique features. For more information about the different clients, you can visit the FAQ section on the app's website.
If you are using an Android device older than 6.0, this app may require access to your photos and media in order to import OpenVPN profiles from your device's storage. This access is categorized by Google as "accessing your media and photos."
Unfortunately, this app only supports tun mode and does not support tap mode. This is due to limitations with Android 4.0 and above.
If you are interested in joining the beta testing for this app, you can do so by using the "join beta" feature. However, please note that the beta may not always be available as it is primarily used for pretesting release candidates.
If you would like to help translate the app into your native language, you can visit the project's homepage for more information.
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.
Lastly, for security purposes, this app uses its own non-vulnerable version of OpenSSL to protect against the OpenSSL Heartbleed vulnerability. For more information on this, you can visit the OpenVPN website.
