Does the config file have multiple <remote></remote> tags? If so, could you try removing the tags?

For example:

It is very disappoining to see such slow support response here. Days between me sending a post and it appearing, forget about getting an answer. My 1 week test token is about to expire, still no working android config.

I don't have access to older Android versions. But I do have other VPN servers set up and running on my current 7.1.1 phone.

How do I get it going on android?

Sounds like you downloaded the config from GitHub. Left click on the config file, then click "raw". Save that into a config file, and then import it.

CS on my Samsung Galaxy S2, running LineageOS 14.1, build date 08/01 is working fine. But I use OpenVPN for Android by Arne Schwabe.

I just had a look at my .conf / .ovpn file, and I couldn't find any head tags in it.

Where can I find the .conf files for Android? I don't see them on Github.

Thanks.

by **ipv6problem** » Tue Aug 30, 2016 12:28 am

Sorry about the double post before. I missed the moderation message before the page refreshed.

I wanted to add that I solved the IPv6 problem by doing the following workaround. I do not know if this works in all cases, but I tested it with www.ipv6leak.com and it reported that IPv6 is not leaking.

In OpenVPN under "Routing" tab, untick "Bypass VPN for local networks"

Under IPv6, untick "Use default Route" and enter a bogus local route under "Custom Routes".

This sends all IPv6 routing requests nowhere...

by **ipv6problem** » Tue Aug 30, 2016 12:13 am

How do I disable IPv6? OpenVPN leaks my IPv6, or at least the config files do. My phone is not rooted so I am relying on the VPN client to deal with this. Can OpenVPN do this?

by **ipv6problem** » Tue Aug 30, 2016 12:02 am

I have a problem with IPV6. Is there any way to block IPV6 connections on a non-rooted device? whatsmyipaddress.com sees my device IPV6 address and locates me precisely.

I know that cyrptostorm does not handle IPV6 addresses and that is not a problem on a PC, but on android this is an issue.

I just tried VyprVPN with whatsmyipaddress.com and it only showed my IPV4 address and the VPN assigned IP address.

How can I block IPV6 connections using OpenVPN/cyptostorm?

Thanks for the work put to the Android confs... much appreciated Sir!

Ah, great. I recently upgraded my Nexus 5 to 5.1.1 (CM12.1), and haven't tested connection to CS yet. In a couple weeks I will probably be using CS connection heavily (at a con) so hopefully this will be a non-issue by then :p

You're making the same mistake that I made (downloading the conf files directly from within github).

Download the lot directly https://github.com/tealcavalon/OpenVPN_ ... master.zip and extract the necessary confs from there.

Aha. Thanks, this worked !!

Are you using "OpenVPN for Android 0.6.47" application from Arne Schwabe ?

Mr Tealc Sir,

works like a charm. Mille Gracie.

by **Tealc** » Tue Mar 01, 2016 7:51 am

This is really strange, I'm at 5.1.1 stock Sony android and it doesn't work.

Are we seeing once again the problem in non-root and rooted?

by **parityboy** » Tue Mar 01, 2016 5:41 am

@thread

Just tested this on a Google Nexus 4 running 5.1.1 (LMY48T), works fine connected to Cantus, Onyx and Turing.

by **Guest** » Sun Feb 28, 2016 11:10 pm

I have no problems at all on Cyanogenmod (all versions up to the current nightlies)

by **Tealc** » Sun Feb 28, 2016 6:33 pm

NEWS UPDATE

Hi there everyone, it seams that Android 5.0.1+ has problems with setting up routes that are pushed by the OpenVPN app, currently no OpenVPN app works, no matter what conf file or version of it you use.

I've already contacted Arne Schwabe and I'm waiting for some news about this problem.

Actually if we google the words "Android 5.1.1 OpenVPN" everyone can see that this is a well spoken subject.

Stay tuned on this topic (use "Notify me when a reply is posted") for more info

EDIT 01/03/2016: It appears that the problem isn't reproduce by everyone, and it currently afects mostly people with non-rooted devices, in my wife non-rooted Sony Z3 it doesn't work, in mine rooted it does work.

hi Tealc
Thanks for replying. i don't use any antivirus at all. i remember on my old phone the android cryptofree worked but i haven't been able to get it work for ages anymore. i tried the cryptofree ovpn from your git and Tealc's ovpn and always same says connection success but not data coming in. just network monitor shows data going out. no panda installed .
here is copy of log. I tried remove all personal info. you might want to recheck if i did:

Can you post here the complete log of the openvpn connection status?
Just print screen the "bitch", the link mtu has nothing to do with it

Btw do you have any kind of those "Internet Protection Suite" like "Panda Antivirus PRO"?

by **phugiyama** » Tue Oct 20, 2015 8:03 am

Well, I've read this whole thread and tried various things, but can't get neither OpenVPN for Android or OpenVPN Connect to work on 4.4.2

I can connect but I can't receive data.

I'm about to pull the plug on this trial.

BTW, I'm trying from China.

Any ideas?

I'm having a similar issue on an HTC J Butterfly running Android 4.1.1 It's vendor modified version I'm sure, not pure stock Android, but attempting to connect with OpenVPN as per this tutorial seems to connect successfully, then disconnects, then reconnects, then disconnects, etc etc.

Even when the device is in a connected state, it doesn't receive any data. It seems to send, but nothing comes back. I've tried with both Singapore and Cryptofree and both give the same result.

I don't know if this'd be the same problem with OpenVPN or something completely different, but not being able to Cryptostorm on my phone is, like, bumming me out dude

Sorry for the noob request for help.

Having problems logging in with OpenVPN. I'm using OpenVPN Connect 1.1.16 (Core 3.0.3) on Android 4.4.2.

I get the error:

OpenVPN core error : option_error:
sorry, 'fragment' directive is not supported, nor is connecting to a server that uses 'fragment' directive

What does this mean?

How to resolve?

Thanks.

Curious; why don't we use the official OVPN app? I read through part of the thread, but saw no mention of it, other than to use the app from Arne Schwabe

by **Tealc** » Sat Oct 03, 2015 12:28 am

It apears this is a know bug with Android 5.0+ and more specifically with the One Plus:

https://github.com/schwabe/ics-openvpn/issues/393

I was told in DM with Arne that is going to address this issue in the next version of the program, he didn't have a ETA, but he told me that it was soon.

@FrostyLV

See my signature for the separate certificate files - "post-Heartbleed". Clients seem to have trouble loading the in-line certificate in the configuration file.

by **FrostyLV** » Wed Aug 05, 2015 8:13 am

I'm having trouble connecting, I get an error message asking me to download a certificate.

by **VirtuosicVagabond** » Mon Mar 16, 2015 10:44 am

So I couldn't really get either option to hold a decent connection. Don't think I successfully loaded a single thing while connected.

VirtuosicVagabond wrote:So what's the difference between the .ovpn file you posted and the .conf file posted in that other thread?

If you open with a text editor both of them you will see that there are a LOT a differences, the main configuration parameters in my ovpn file are the same has the recommended by Staff from the 1.4 version.

Actually the main differences are:

1) I don't use FQDN to try to connect to the server (be warned that this isn't recommended by Staff), the main purpose of putting only the naked IP is that many devices, and it doesn't matter what version of Android you're running, have some problems trying to figure out the FQDN and tend to leak the real IP address to 3rd party for the dns resolve of the FQDN.
It's been documented here in the forum that you can fix the dns resolve problem of sending the real ip address before connecting to CS with ipblock or AFwall+ or something like this, but has you can figure we would need a lot more work to do that, it's simple and easier to put the naked IP, just sayinging

.
Just a small remark, if you use a naked IP, if that server is down or something there will be no dynamic balancing of your connection to another server and that could be a potential security risk?!

2) Since the beginning of my involvement in CS the "main ovpn file" used with RAW linux connections wasn't really accepted in a lot of the configuration parameters by the default ovpn android app, I know that since then the parameters have change and the normal 1.4 conf CS ovpn file can be imported to the ovpn android app without critical errors, but still with some.

You know, this comes down to your choice, my config files for android are here for everyone see and test, there are no hidden parameters (is that even possible?) and they are hassle free, they just work out-of-the-box (or owncloud

)

Stay awesome,

What's your OpenVPN version? You should only use the 0.6.17 or up, anything older will give several bizarre errors.
All versions of Android now work fine, no problems even with 4.4.2

Which exit node are you using? This auth error get's reproduced in others exit nodes?

by **marzametal** » Sat Sep 20, 2014 10:30 am

OpenVPN works fine on 4.4.4, provided you are using the latest OpenVPN for Android build... The latest stable is .6.17, although I just noticed there is a beta (up to you). You can download it from here Full List of OpenVPN for Android releases

May I ask what ROM you are using? I am using SlimSaber 4.4.4

The errors also might have to do with the recent disruptions on the UNSAE exit node. I had to resort to Onyx and haven't looked back. Do you get the errors on other cluster choices?

Which beta version are you running? Because, the OLD Android OVPN config's where for the 0.6.11 stable,this ones will only work with 0.6.17 stable or bigger

Yeah, I was on 0.6.15 when I saw the Google Breakpad stuff pop up... so jumped to 0.6.17, been about a week or so since the upgrade.
Ahhh, I see the step I missed. It wasn't enough to just upgrade to 0.6.17. I have to also upgrade the config file too... small request, can you add a little line at the beginning of the first post to indicate when it was last updated, instead of relying solely on the update dates inside it?

Thank you Tealc, very much appreciated. Will the new confs be in the same place when they're ready?

So everything updated... this time there are all the "exit nodes" available, if you find some kind of error let me know.

BTW to everyone that's going to check the config file BEFORE using, YES I've removed the hostname of the "exit node" and left only the IP, I actually don't know why, but I've got a bunch of errors with the hostname in place. If you do not want this, just change it back to the hostname

Since this tutorial has the old cert's and the old OVPN settings from the very first conf's that got to see the light of day, it's more them possible that something got broken on the way, so.... I'm making new conf's for this OpenVPN Android app, specific for the most current cert's and conf's.

And BTW, it works with non rooted phones, but I've found out that some "branded" android versions doesn't allow OpenVPN to make their magic, for example with my non-rooted HTC M8 (also in my M7

) I've got it working in a heart beat, with my wife's non rooted Samsung Galaxy S5 no such luck, at first the app crashed, them after several re-install I got to the import config file part and it crashed, but got to add the conf to the profiles page (??) but wen I try to connect it just doesn't work saying something about "... severe damage to your device" I've already sent a but report to the man in charge of producing this amazing app, let's see what he have to say

I've just updated OpenVPN via F-Droid, and it states:

OpenVPN without root
with the VPNService in Android 4.0+ it is possible to create a VPN that doesn't need root access

I haven't tested it as yet though

by **kelltech** » Sat Jun 28, 2014 3:26 am

So this is for rooted devices? How about non rooted? My new tablet isn't rooted yet. I used to be able to connect on this tablet but since buying a new token I can't connect any more. I started from the beginning and still get "Auth failed" every time. I even reinstalled the OpenVPN app. Any suggestions?

My thought on this is, rather block access than allow access? For example, in the firewall log, crap pops up left right and center. I'd rather see things being blocked than allowing it through the VPN for the sole reason it is a secure path. I'm not saying take this as gospel, but would like your opinion if possible.

Well... This heavily depends on how you handle security on your phone. I use AFWall+ as a simple leakblock that I set up and "forget". I very rarely open it up; mostly when a new version got released to check on new options.
I like to manage all my security at one place and this is the XPrivacy module. I can block internet access there as well and do this actively. My default settings are to block everything by default (even the red system permissions) and then allow individual permissions as they are actually needed for the app to work. (emphasis on "actually"! Not what it requests!

)
But that is just how I do things.

You could very well do a different approach in managing different things at different places. You could also use AFWall+ as a second line of defense for the very unpleasant case that XPrivacy for some reason fails to block internet access. So yes: Your approach is very reasonable. Just be careful with the system services. There may be cases where you want to block some of those but this should only be done by people who very well know what the individual system services do.

As to your gapps incident... There still are (and always will be) some resources with google in their name if you use an android based rom but gapps should not be there. The only explanation I have is that some app requested access to it not knowing that it doesn't reside on your phone.

But anyways: Always glad to see that people actually care and get rid of GAPPs and the Google Services Framework! You really rarely (or never) need those as you can grab your Apps anyways. With it all security efforts are pretty useless in my opinion.

Sorry for my late reply. I was really busy and still am.

This shows how considerate our friends at CryptoStorm are! Good thinking but I can give an all-clear signal on this source: It's provided by the maker himself, Arne Schwabe.
I grabbed the link from his own google-code page so it should be more than fine.

Proof: https://code.google.com/p/ics-openvpn/
At the bottom under footnotes you find "If you cannot or do not want to use the Play Store you can download the apk files directly."

Glad I was able help some folks out with that even though the whole post was very rushed.

PS: I forgot another great XPosed Module --> Auto VPN Dialog Confirm. It helps you get rid of the annoying "do you trust this VPN?" dialog. With this you can create a 100% automatic VPN environment if you also tell Arne Schwabes OpenVPN that it should connect at startup and on network change.
