TAP on Android

Post by brendan » Thu Jul 23, 2015 9:46 pm

a new OpenVPN client has emerged in the google play store, and it claims to support TAP without rooting your android device. is this legit, and is there any possibility of this functionality making its way into the offical openvpn client for android?

There is nothing new about this. In Android it is nowadays possible to use the built in VPN API which doesn’t require root rights to add it. I don’t know this ‘new’ client but it offers nothing significantly different from the official OpenVPN clients for Android that I can see.

i talked to my brother, and he did buy the app from the the play store, and it does work. how the app is doing TAP without being rooted, i dont know.

as for the 3rd party app i ran, it was OpenVPN Installer and OpenVPN Settings by Friedrich Schäuffelhut. i ran these on a rooted phone and could use the TAP interface included in the kernel of the modded ROM.

So until someone compiles openvpn with -fPIC for Android we only have one possbility — paid OpenVPN Client app which really can connect to TAP OpenVPN services even without root.

You need PIE instead of PIC. I have some binaries someone wanted for an old rooted device:

As for TAP without root, it is possible to write an emulator for it (see also my FAQ from OpenVPN for Android) but so far I haven’t had the motivation to do it (no personal need and no one wanted to throw money at me to implement one )

As plaisthos said:

As I’ve said above, for now the only option that works on Adnroid is a «https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.colucciweb.vpnclientpro» app (the name of app was changed) which can connect to TAP servers even without root.
It utilizes the approach plaisthos mentioned and emulates TAP above standard Android VPN API.
The app itself is free, but possibility to connect to TAP is a paid option.

Somewhere on the Net I’ve seen a pirated version of this app, which claims to be free, but I didn’t try it and cannot say if it is really cracked or just a virus.
