[HOWTO] OpenVPN support for all the major platforms

[aseques]

Finally there’s an official openvpn client for every major computer platform.

• Linux here (openvpn.net)
• Windows here (openvpn.net)
• Apple here (openvpn.net)
• Android: play marked
• Apple: apple store

IMPORTANT To be able to work with the mobile devices, the interface has to be changed from tap to tun, see here fora wole thread: https://www.zeroshell.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=4805#4805

(basically the solution is to add’–dev tun0 –dev-type tun’ in the parameters list)

nice 🙂

Hi!
I’m trying to make the openvpn service to work with my android devices, but once I try to save the “–dev tun0 –dev-type tun” parameters in the GUI, the status goes to “DOWN” and in setup->network the VPN99 says “Connections from Road Warrior clients disabled”.

With openvpn client for windows the VPN is working.

What am I missing?

Thank you.

I have an identical problem.
No one has a simple solution?
