Openvpn for Android is an open source client based on the open source OpenVPN project. It uses the VPNService API of Android 4.0+ and requires neither Jailbreak nor root on your telephone. Most VPN apps in the Android market are mostly big buttons that connect people to invisible services, with all the inner workings hidden from the user. It’s completely different from desktop versions, which care much more transparent.

OpenVPN for Android aims to make this process much more transparent and works just as you would expect. First of all, users need to know the details of the VPN connection, or they must have the proper files to import. After everything is set up, you can connect.

How to connect
OpenVPN is a client software to connect to an OpenVPN server. It is not an APP selling or provding any VPN services.
It allows to your own/company/university/provider OpenVPN server or to the VPN service of many of the commercial
VPN providers.
