Hi,
would somebody with editing privileges please update
https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Android_VPN_Connectivity#pfSense_2.0
with the following information:
FEAT VPN is now available free of charge and brings OpenVPN Connectivity
to 2.x and 3.x Androids.
FEAT VPN works on 4.x, too, with a different .apk file. (both the
2.x/3.x and the 4.x apks are linked on the featvpn.com web page, and
should be available in google play, too)
4.x Androids have an official API for 3rd-Party VPN providers.
However, it seems that Androud 4.4 is missing /dev/tun, at least in
non-rooted devices.
This means that both the VPN client already linked on the wiki page,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.blinkt.openvpn, as well
as FEAT VPN, currently *don't* work on Android 4.4. I do not know if
Google has to push an updated OS to fix that or if it can be fixed by
the app developers.
I've tried both OpenVPN applications mentioned above on 4.3 in Google's
own Android emulator, they both worked fine, while on 4.4 they exhibit
the missing-dev-tun-problem and thus don't work.
Also, I tried FEAT VPN on real hardware and can confirm that it works on
a Motorola Milestone 2 (European-GSM "Droid 2") with its stock
Android/Motoblur versions, i.e. non-rooted. I might try an older
Milestone 1 (Euro/GSM original Droid) if anyone is particularly
interested in the results.
On the pfSense side of things, I always used 2.0.3-RELEASE (i386) for my
tests.
I would expect it to work with later versions, too, but have not tested
it yet.
-Stefan
