OpenVPN Connect

OpenVPN Connect is a free Android VPN Client that supports older Android devices and offers advanced features like power saving, compression, and more.

If you’re looking for an OpenVPN client that supports older versions of Android like Ice Cream Sandwich and Jellybean WITHOUT rooting your device, OpenVPN Connect is a great choice!

With OpenVPN Connect you’ll be able to import your OpenVPN settings from your local storage or an SD card, with support for Android Keychains and hardware keystores, full IPv6 support at both ends of your connection, and PolarSSL.

One of our favorite features of this app is the built-in power management tools that help you save battery life. Too many VPN clients will run when the screen is idle or blanked out, but you can customize power settings just the way you want them.

It’s important to note that OpenVPN Connect is a client, not a VPN service. This is what you use to connect to a free or paid VPN service that uses the OpenVPN protocol to secure your traffic. Always ask your provider ahead of time if an app is compatible with their service!

Overall OpenVPN Connect is a great OpenVPN client that offers great support for older devices, full IPv6 support, and a variety of handshakes and keystores that make it compatible with a wider range of services.

Pros

• Strong Support for IPv6 Many clients will either flip back to IPv, opening you to security risks – but this one doesn’t.
• Advanced Power Management Say goodbye to power drains and hello to advanced power management that you can tweak to your heart’s content.

Cons

• Known Phantom Disconnector Many users have noted that their connections will randomly drop while using this client.
