Features & Capabilities

OpenVPN for Android is a powerful open source VPN client based on the OpenVPN project. It allows you to securely connect to your own or company's OpenVPN servers without needing jailbreak or root access, as it utilizes Android 4.0+ VPNService API. This client does not provide VPN services but enables connections to various OpenVPN servers, including commercial providers. It features import of OpenVPN profiles from storage and opts exclusively for tun mode due to Android limitations. The app prioritizes security, employing a non-vulnerable OpenSSL version to safeguard connections. Users can participate in beta testing and contribute translations to enhance the app further. Comprehensive FAQ and support resources are available for troubleshooting and guidance.

User Reviews

User reviews repeatedly note crashes after updates, and general connectivity or launch issues. Despite these, the app is praised for a rich feature set (split tunneling/per-app proxy) and strong interoperability, especially on Android TV, often viewed as better than the official OpenVPN app. Some UI problems and Iran-specific reliability concerns are also frequently mentioned. Overall sentiment is mixed: solid performance for tech-savvy users but reliability gaps after updates and in restricted networks.

Pros

Generally stable and usable on many devices, including Android TV.
Feature-rich with split tunneling/per-app proxy support.
Strong interoperability and capabilities (outperforms the official OpenVPN app; compatible with other ecosystems).
Positive overall sentiment and tech-savvy appeal (described as excellent, best for techies, good VPN).

Cons

Crashes on launch or after updates (white screen or crash after latest update).
Connectivity issues or inability to connect / intermittent connection problems.
UI/UX problems (minimal UI broken, cannot disable VPN without auto-reconnecting, non-functional widgets).
Reliability issues in restricted networks (notably Iran) with limited support or help.

I've been using this client for the past 2 years or so. It's highly customizable and easy to use. It does have some OS integration issues (permanent notification disappearing, quick settings showing that vpn is disconnected when it's connected), but other than that works perfectly.
