OpenVPN for Android0.7.69

OpenVPN for Android connects an Android device to an OpenVPN-based VPN service without requiring root access, using Android’s built-in VPNService framework. It provides a mobile port of OpenVPN for routing the device’s network traffic through configured VPN profiles.

Users can import .ovpn profiles and use them on the phone, including profiles received as email attachments; files associated with the application/x-openvpn-profile MIME type can be opened for direct import. Embedding certificates and other credentials inside the .ovpn file keeps a connection’s configuration in one portable file. The client also supports OpenVPN inline files, a format available since OpenVPN 2.1rc1 and documented in the OpenVPN 2.3 manual.

It suits people who need an OpenVPN connection on an Android phone or tablet, including travelers, remote workers, and users connecting to a private network from mobile data or public Wi-Fi. Its VPNService-based design is the distinguishing feature, because it provides this type of VPN connection through Android rather than requiring root privileges.

OpenVPN for Android is open-source and runs on Android 6.0 or later in arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86_64, and x86 builds. The OpenVPN component used by the project is licensed under GPLv2. The current release is version 0.7.69.
