[Guide] Air VPN on Android (ICS, No Root)

[Staff 9755]

Hello!

 

Please try to re-generate the .ovpn files in the following way:

 

- tick "Advanced Options"

- tick "Resolved hosts in .ovpn file"

- tick "All servers for area or region"

 

Additionally, should you prefer to separate certificates and key from .ovpn file (not required bv openvpn-connect app anyway) tick "Separate certs/keys from .ovpn file" too.

 

The updated instructions for Android devices (with Android 4 or higher) are here:

Kind regards

Thank you!  I shall try that directly.  I shall update you on my progress then.  Perhaps by tomorrow.  Thanks again.

Update:  I was able to access the Air servers finally.  However, the weird thing was, when I was using my phone as a modem and I turned on the OpenVPN app and connected to the Air servers, somehow I wasn't able to access the internet with my laptop.  My phone was fine though.

Although this thread is pretty old, it's all new to me; hence my confusion.

 

First, everything I read says I should select "Linux" as my platform, even though I'm configuring OpenVPN for my Android device (an nVidia Shield TV box).  Why should I not select "Android" as the platform?

 

Second, and more significant, the instructions here tell me to modify the three lines:

 

        ca "ca.crt"
        cert "user.crt"
        key "user.key"

 

in the .ovpn files (I generated one for America and one for Europe), but those lines don't exist in either one.  Should I add them somewhere?  If so, where?  Seems like I'm missing something pretty basic, so I'd appreciate any help you can offer.
