Description
You need a root device the tun/tap driver and busybox.
OpenVPN Installer will try to install openvpn (2.1.1) in /system/xbin or /system/bin. Your mileage might vary depending on your phone.
Androids ifconfig implementation fails to configure the tunnel device correctly. So you need ifconfig provided by busybox. Try a BusyBox Installer from the market.
The path to ifconfig is a compile time option to openvpn and can not be changed at runtime. This installer includes multiple binaries with preconfigured ifconfig locations.
The preferred way to install openvpn is to put busybox at /system/xbin/busybox and then choose openvpn preconfigured for '/system/xbin/busybox ifconfig'.
Finally /system/xbin/bb is not needed anymore! I hope this update makes live easier for some of you.
Recent changes: Fix an issue where openvpn binary using /system/xbin/ifconfig and /system/xbin/bb/ifconfig where swapped.

Only OpenVPN solution that supports TAP! (The best protocol out!) Still works great! Install both Openvpn Installer & Openvpn Settings. Navigate to /data/app/de.schaeuffelhut.android.openvpn.installer-1.apk/assets and copy openvpn-2.1.1-static-busyboxinxbin to /system/xbin. Rename openvpn-2.1.1-static-busyboxinxbin to "openvpn." Set permission to "rwxr-xr-x." Launch "Openvpn Installer" for binary check. These directions worked great for me! "Use VPN DNS Server" option does not forward DNS traffic. This is minor!

great and free tried the well known clients. this is the best in terms of execution. once setup, you're home free, presuming your connecting to your home's ovpn. XD option for tap as well makes this kickass. good on you dev man for making something great and not being greedy.
