OpenVPN Connect Vs OpenVPN For Android

OpenVPN Connect, the “official” OpenVPN Inc. app, is designed to be more user friendly for VPN users with less technical expertise. It is, therefore, less equipped than the openvpn for android which is designed for more advanced OpenVPN users.

Openvpn for Android is a free open-source client developed by Arne Schwarzbe, enables users to connect to any VPN service that supports the OpenVPN protocol. If your device doesn’t support the pre-configured VPN applications available on the Google Play Store, this is an excellent alternative. The setup is fairly simple. It is necessary to import the VPN profile files. (The config files are named.ovpn). These can be downloaded from your VPN provider’s site or by contacting live chat support.

After you’ve transferred your profile to the app, tap on the server to connect. Once connected all Internet traffic is routed through a secure tunnel, and directed to the server selected by the app. The Status tab allows you to view your connection details and the status of your connection. A kill switch is enabled by default. It will also disable your Internet connections when the VPN tunnel is cut off.

The app also comes with per-app VPN as well as an all-day-long feature that automatically begins an VPN connection whenever the app is being used and continues to operate even after your device is shut down or switches networks. This one however requires Android 7.0 or higher and can drain your battery more than normal.
