Openvpn for Ice Cream Sandwhich (no root/jailbreak)

Hi,
a pre alpha version that already works.
Restrictions:
- only tun mode (API restriction)
- may only work once (still pre alpha, remember)
Although the application is far from finished connecting to a VPN already works. I
Update:
Updated version now on the market: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.blinkt.openvpn
Source Code: code.google.com/p/ics-openvpn/

Thank you for this application. Is it open source ? Do we have to install openvpn first ? Do we have to get tun working first ?
Thank you.

Yes, it is open source. When the code is a little bit more polished I will publish the code. The VPNService is part of Android 4.0+, so nothing is required regarding tun. (On custom build ICS images thing might differ, but that is bug in the image)

Perfect. Thank you. I will try it and give you feed back.
Thank you.

Excellent! I had almost given up hope on being able to (successfully) use OpenVPN on my Android device when I learned that ICS would make it easier. Thanks for taking the time to do this!

I have also created an OpenVpn application, mainly ported for Cyanogenmod 7, which retain almost all CM7 OpenVpn features. Sure, it is open source, check it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591585

Too bad that the effort was made twice now :/ I did not know of your porting attempts. There was a discussion on the openvpn-devel mailing list a month before and nobody knew of any porting attempts.

I tried it and it is working great. Thank you very much.

Tested against a Linksys E4200 with DD-WRT and works perfectly.
I need to reconfigure my server from SHA256 to SHA1 hash algorithm. It would be great if this can be configured in advanced options.
Thanks and keep the great work !!!

Sorry, that I respond so late. Thanks for the suggestion of hash algorithm. I will look into implementing a hash algorithm preference.

With latest version, using "--auth sha256" in advanced options, works perfectly.
Thanks.

I do not understand your question. What do you want to know?

This question may be stupid, but when OpenVPN is connected, does all network traffic on the phone go through the VPN channel?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Depends how you set the routes. If you set default route on then all should go over the VPN channel. You can check the routes with show information from the log widow.

It took me a while to enable 'redirect gateway' and configure NAT on the Linux server side, but after that this app works great and all traffic are going through the VPN tunnel! Thanks a lot!

To the OP: which version of OpenVPN did you bundle in the app? Does it support IPv6?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

2.3.0pre and it does support IPv6

Almost perfect app
Very helpful developer.
I like this program the best compared to the other one in here for ICS, as this one has more options, nicer layout, and is the only one working properly for me.
However I did have to put in my DNS settings automatically, but then everthing also worked correctly
Now I only miss a on/off widget, the app would be perfect!

What does "show connection information" show if you are connected? Which mobile phone are you using?

It shows that I've sent packets, but haven't received any. I'm on a Galaxy Nexus using CM9.
My guess is it's something on the server end that I need to configure... But I have no real experience with openVPN and have been just following guides I've found on the net. In my previous post is a picture of my server config in tomato, do you see anything wrong there? Or anything else I need to do somewhere else in the router?
edit: I even tried adding this to custom config on server side
Code:
push "redirect-gateway def1"
When I try to load a webpage all I see in the logs are stuff like:

Thanks, same for me. that's how this app came to be.

went to market and d/l v1.1.... did not work, won't find internet connection and does f/c if you tap on the " no applications found"
I'm guessing that doesn't support ics? if not, any plans for that in the future?

Thanx for updating!! Looking forward to trying this out!
I also appreciate the rebuild for ICS as well. Will come in handy as I don't wish to d/grade back to gingerbread.
I do have a quick question, are you going to integrate any security tools? IE: wireless, lan, packet type stuff and what not... ? If so, that would be really great. But anyways, looking forward to trying this out and about to d/l the latest version now. Thanx again and your work is appreciated!

[2013.04.12][4.0.3+] Hotspot Control v1.1

Hotspot Control is a tiny app that enables or disables Portable Hotspot functionality of Android. Usually you could just do this in Android settings, but on some devices this option is hidden, or only works if you have a SIM inserted.
Hotspot Control does away with those requirements, assuming that the hotspot functionality itself is actually still present and operational on the device. Rooting is *usually* not required.
THIS IS NOT DESIGNED TO BEAT YOUR CARRIER'S TETHERING PROTECTION - For some people it does (it depends on how that protection is implemented) but this is not what the app was made for. It's no use complaining that it doesn't do this for you. This app is designed to circumvent some issues when setting up a local hotspot so your devices can communicate with eachother, not with the internet (though that also works on several devices).
You can configure the access point (hotspot) name and password, encryption used is alway WPA2 AES + TKIP, to keep it simple.
On some devices that do not have a cellular data connection capability (like the Nexus 10) the hotspot will not give out IP addresses - the app will auto-detect this situation and fix it, but root is required for that option. Note that without root on these devices, the connected devices can still communicate if you configure their IP addresses manually, but that is something for the advanced user.
I personally need this to create a private network (even without a SIM, and thus without an actual internet connection) in the field between a number of my devices. Some genius at Samsung decided that my Note II shouldn't create an access point if no SIM is present - I beg to differ! Maybe someone else has use for this as well.
This is probably not useful for more than a handful of people, but still ... I had to build it for myself anyway, might as well share it !
Download from Google Play
REDISTRIBUTION IS *NOT* ALLOWED

Changelogs
2013.04.12 - v1.1
- Added (automatically detected) feature to fix the issue with some devices that do not have cellular data capability (like the Nexus 10) that they do not give out IP addresses. Unfortunately this does require root to fix.

Thanks a lot! It will come in handy sometime for sure!

Works well for now

A sideload version, please
Google Play says my International Note N7000 is "not compatible" and will not download the app to me. Please put up a sideload apk so we can at least give you feedback on what works, and what doesn't

Omg! Omg!! Omg!!!
I was looking for this kind of app for quite some time now.
It is exactly like WIFI DIRECT - but for the devices which don't have this option,
hotspot control is a god send one.
I'm able to connect/transfer files/use remote control on my android TV box (MINIX NEO X5) from GALAXY TAB 10.1.
All this "without router" + NO WIFI + NO INTERNET.
Fantastic job by CHAINFIRE.
Keep-up the good work.
Great service to android community.:laugh:
Tiny suggestion : Somewhere pl say that the NAME and password should be minimum of 8 characters and above.
If it is done already.... pl ignore

Why is everybody not seeing this ? I've gotten about 30 questions in total here, through PM, and through email, about the name and password of the hotspot - it says "8-32 ASCII characters" right on the button you click to modify the name, and "8-63 ASCII characters" right on the button you click to modify the password. It's going to be hard to make it any more clear than that !

I tried to install on my German N7000 2.3.6 XXLA4 TW but received "Problem parsing the package." The apk looks intact when I examine it, no obvious file corruption. And, of course, 'unknown sources' is enabled. Is it perhaps not GingerBread compatible?

Works fine on Micromax-P275 tablet
Thanks a lot for the app. Its really nice. I could get wifi hotspot up and running on Micromax-P275 tablet without any difficulty.
I wanted to share my internet connection over the wifi hotspot but found that the routes were not getting set in the mobile. I am not sure where the problem lies. I had to run the following set of commands to get the desired routing done.
----------------
<pre>
#!/system/bin/sh
# script to enable internet sharing over wifi in micromax tablet.
# run this with root permission after starting the wifi "Hotspot Control" software.
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
/system/bin/iptables -F
/system/bin/iptables -F -t nat
/system/bin/iptables -I FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
/system/bin/iptables -I FORWARD -s 192.168.42.0/24 -j ACCEPT
/system/bin/iptables -P FORWARD DROP
/system/bin/iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -s 192.168.42.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
</pre>

Was the app supposed to allow sharing of the internet connection?

I can't speak for this cool app, but on CM and AOKP (ASOP roms) tethering was not initially functional on Jelly Bean 10.1 . This now has been fixed on most AOSP 10.1 roms. So it could be that or both.

WiFi Direct

Do we have WiFi Direct feature added to our Atrix 2 ?
if Yes -> How can I get it on my Atrix?
if No - > Are our ThinkTanks are working on this ?
Its really a must have feature for sharing big files ( Movies )
Edit : for those who are looking for Wifi direct install SuperBeam from play.(works only on JB)

What's that? XD

Data sharing via WiFi just as we do through Bluetooth. (WiFi File Sharing etc. etc. terminology you may know this by)
There are many applications for the same on PLAY but they generate a code or BAR code BLAH BLAH for sharing and most of them are a headache to use !! Would be good if we have a direct option in our sharing menu
just select file -> tap on sharing -> select Wifi Direct -> search for devices in range -> Select and share kindda thing (similar to Bluetooth sharing)
P.S. : We have this feature in various Samsung and HTC cell phone

I see.. So is it fast to transfer big files?

Thanks for the share. Will give it a try !
But this app too uses the BARCODE system and all I was looking for the simple inbuilt search feature like the one we have in bluetooth. All the menu options same as Bluetooth just the transfer mode should be via WiFi.
BTW have you gave a look to WiFi direct feature on any other cell namely some Samsung or HTC models ???

[Tool] Network Monitor

Hi All,
Would you like to know what app is using network in your phone? Would you like to know what address is the application connecting?
My friend wrote a tool named Network Monitor. The link is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jmm.networkmonitor Would you like to try?
The tool could help you below:
1. Monitor current data activity and uplink/downlink throughput.
2. Monitor external IP address.
3. List all package which using internet currently.
4. List all socket link including destination IP address and source IP address of per package.
5. Query where is the destination address of the link connection and show it in map.
It is a fun tool if you want to know what application using your internet connection background.
My friend welcome any comments and he could add function if it would helpful.
Thanks.

Would this be helpful in analyzing what kind of intranet traffic is causing high wlan_rx_wakelocks?

Useful tool.
Works good on my N7100.
Thank you.

much needed as many are taking up lots of data without knowingly.
thanks

Nice app. Keep up the good work :good:

I almost installed this as it looks to be very helpful, but.....then I reread the thread and the fact that you say "My friend" made this app and not you makes me very nervous....why isn't your friend posting this up?
The way I see it if this app was found to be stealing data or compromising networks who would we have to turn to? You? All you are going to say is "my friend did it not me".
No insult intended but have him\her post this themselves would be my request.
I mean dude....you have less than 20 posts. Not like you have been on here for years....or even a year.
As an IT professional with 46 companies relying on my judgement....I simply can't risk their security

The tool will let you know which application is using your network, even for intranet.

I think your concern was reasonable.
I am the author and using my friend's account. Let me explain what was going on. I wrote the tool part time and shown to my friend. My friend said you should publish in google play. But as you know, it is hard to let more person know there is software named "network monitor". My friend said he has a xda account and could help me to post. I will apply a account or just use this account.
One thing I could guarantee, there isn't back door in the application. Thanks for everybody's reply, it encourages me to add more functions.
One function I am considering to add is WIFI control/diag function.
Thanks

So it won't I guess, I need to know analyze the broadcast packets originating from somewhere else on the intranet and waking up my device from deep sleep (wlan_rx_wakelocks).

You are correct. Currently the tool doesn't support packet analyze. It needs root right to capture the packet from network.

nice app... would be nice if it also shows wi-fi TX/RX along with the total and mobile... I take it total is the combo of wi-fi and mobile?

Yes. Total TX/RX combines Wifi information.
The reason I didn't list wifi TX/RX is most person only care about mobile data and there is limited space to show information.
Maybe need to provide a way to configure the display items.
BTW, I have upgraded the software and added floating window and process view. Please enjoy it.
