Hello,
i have a Question to the standard Android VPN Client because i cant test it:
- If i connect my VPN after i started my Smartphone,- what happens when my mobile Data Connection lost? Do Android perform an auto reconnect to the VPN when the data connection is restored?
Greetings,
Blade
The basic client will lose the connection and not reconnect.
But you could look for apps which do auto-redial.

Hello everyone,
I have a router that I use to access my external hard disk wirelessly from multiple devices.
Now when I have connected my phone, my mobile data is automatically turned off as it's connected to the router.
Is there a way to connect both wifi (no internet connection) and mobile data from the android device?
My phone isn't rooted.
Thanks

Any apps that can serve the purpose?
Recently I purchased VPN service from Private Internet Access. I've been using their app to establish a VPN connection on my Nexus 4, however I find the app to be buggy and generally lacking. I was wondering what the best way to setup a VPN connection on Android is. I know that Android has a built-in VPN setting but it requires the use of a lock-screen password which I'd rather not use. If possible (and I'm not sure that it is) I'd like an app that can seamlessly switch between a Wi-Fi connection and a mobile data connection. Any tips/pointers are greatly appreciated!
Hello,
I run a firewall at home with a openVPN Server. My phone runs CM11. My purpose is to use the VPN connection all the time for all internet access so I can use my firewall .
In my openVPN Client app I can chooese between two modes when phone goes to sleep:
1: pause VPN and use direct internet access
2: pause VPN and do not use direct internet access
Question: is there no chance to use permanently the VPN connection? When the phone is in standby it should also use the established VPN connection. If tunnel is paused and I use option 2 there is no internet connection while phone sleeps. So also no messages are coming in, no mails are checked and so on. But option 1 is against my purpose to use for 100% the VPN connection. Is there any solution for my purpose?
Wanna give it a new try.
This idea shouldn't be so bad as I think
How can I setup the next situation in Android 5.0?
1. All network communication of app A should be made through an VPN connection with a proxy;
2. The other apps should continue to communicate directly through the wireless connection, without any proxy.
I was partly able to do this in Android 4.4 KitKat. I configured the VPN, turned it on and configured the proxy ip and port in the wireless network details. Android started to redirect the traffic of all apps through VPN and proxy.
When I do the same in Android 5.0, the result is worst! The apps simply continue to use the wireless connection directly, without any consideration of the VPN and proxy.
Thanks guys.
Looking for a way to automatically connect to a VPN whenever a I connect to specific WIFI networks. If it matters I currently have OpenVPN based options & TorGuard but I'm completely open to others. Ideally this VPN session would close whenever I disconnect.
Yes, I could leave the VPN up all the time but I'm just looking to secure my first hop (work & public networks) and not worried about cellular data snooping and my own personal WIFI.
