OpenVPN for Android ============= Description ------------ With the new VPNService of Android API level 14+ (Ice Cream Sandwhich) it is possible to create a VPN service that does not root access. This project is a port of OpenVPN. Developing --------------- If you want to develop on ics-openvpn please read the [doc/README.txt](https://github.com/schwabe/ics-openvpn/blob/master/doc/README.txt) *before* opening issues or emailing me. Also please note that before contributing to the project that I would like to retain my ability to relicense the project for different third parties and therefore probably need a contributers agreement from any contributing party. To get started, [sign the Contributor License Agreement](https://www.clahub.com/agreements/schwabe/ics-openvpn). You can help ------------ Even if you are no programmer you can help by translating the OpenVPN client into your native language. [Crowdin provides a free service for non commercial open source projects](http://crowdin.net/project/ics-openvpn/invite) (Fixing/completing existing translations is very welcome as well) FAQ ----- You can find the FAQ here (same as in app): http://ics-openvpn.blinkt.de/FAQ.html Note to administrators ------------------------ You make your life and that of your users easier if you embed the certificates into the .ovpn file. You or the users can mail the .ovpn as a attachment to the phone and directly import and use it. Also downloading and importing the file works. The MIME Type should be application/x-openvpn-profile. Inline files are supported since OpenVPN 2.1rc1 and documented in the [OpenVPN 2.3 man page](https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/Openvpn23ManPage) (under INLINE FILE SUPPORT) (Using inline certifaces can also make your life on non Android platforms easier since you have only one file.) For example `ca mycafile.pem` becomes ``` -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIHPTCCBSWgAwIBAgIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQQFADB5MRAwDgYDVQQKEwdSb290 [...] -----END CERTIFICATE----- ``` Footnotes ----------- Please that OpenVPN used by this project is under GPLv2. If you cannot or do not want to use the Play Store you can [download the apk files directly](http://plai.de/android/) . The F-Droid project also [builds and distributes the application](https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=de.blinkt.openvpn). If you want to donate you can donate to [arne-paypal@rfc2549.org via paypal](https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?hosted_button_id=R2M6ZP9AF25LS&cmd=_s-xclick).
