I do understand the "limitation of the Android platform" - i.e. to support "bridged mode" OpenVPN need to have root access.Code: Select all
Q: Why doesn't the app support tap-style tunnels? A: The Android VPN API supports only tun-style tunnels at the moment. This is a limitation of the Android platform. If you try to connect a profile that uses a tap-based tunnel, you will get an error that only layer 3 tunnels are currently supported.If you really want to see tap-style tunnels supported in OpenVPN Connect, we would encourage you tocontact the Google Android team and ask that the VpnService API be extended to allow this. Without such changes to the VpnService API, it is not possible for non-root apps such as OpenVPN Connect to support tap-style tunnels.
Lots of others apps works differently, depending whether they have root access or not (or do not works at all without it)
How do I enable OpenVPN connect "root mode" (and thus "bridged mode")?
Is it sufficient to move OpenVPN connect APK to /system/apps folder?
