NOTICE: Your phone must be rooted for this app to work


DroidVPN can unblock ISP restrictions, unblock voip, bypass firewalls, and lets you browse the web anonymously.

DroidVPN is using its own simple and efficient protocol so its not using PPTP or L2TP which is sometimes blocked by your ISP.

What separates it from other VPN Applications is it can tunnel your traffic through ICMP(IP over ICMP). This means you can still connect to our vpn servers and browse the internet even if you are only allowed to send ping requests.

Requirements:
Rooted Android 2.1+
Working tun.ko for your kernel
Superuser app


Instructions

  1. Signup here: Signup for a free trial account - DroidVPN! and check your email for your password
  2. Enter your username and password. (Your username when logging in to DroidVPN would be your email address.)
  3. Tap the flag to change our server to Phoenix or LA for free users. For premium users you can choose any server.
  4. Tap the start button.
  5. If you saw the message "DroidVPN is now connected", you can press the home button and start browsing.


Free users are limited to 100MB/day - Upgrade your account to remove this limitation and get access to all servers


Server location:
- Arizona, US
- California, US
- Utah, US
- New York, US
- Amsterdam, NL
- United Kingdom, GB

You can check the status of our servers here: http://droidvpn.com/servers.php

You can select the server you want to use by clicking the flag icon on the upper right corner.

To quickly start or stop your vpn connection, add the DroidVPN widget to your home screen for a 1 tap connect vpn.

A: If you don't have Android Market, or for any other reason can not find DroidVPN there, you can download from our site instead: http://droidvpn.com/download.php

Android browser doesn't work on my Nexus One with latest Cyanogen nightly, everything else seems to work. Any suggestions?

Cleaned out everything under my APN settings, now it works on both my Nexus One and Galaxy Nexus. But when switching between wifi and mobile data, you have to manually disconnect and reconnect. Can this be fixed?

Do you have a proxy set for your browser? Or it could also be a DNS issue. Try visiting this page on your android browser and see if it will load: http://74.125.224.48/ <- google.com

Just as with manually switching wifi, it seems not to reconnect when it says it does. Can that be fixed? If you lose signal for mobile data and regain it u have to manually restart.

I believe that is normal since it would be running all the time unless you disconnect it. You might want to read this since openvpn and our app functions almost the same.

We are still working on that. But right now it will actually try to reconnect if it detects that no data is being transferred within 60 seconds.

Love this app :)

I have a suggestion though. You shove give users an option to check if the the vpn is working. Maybe launch a web page or something to test

Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium

    We just released a new version of DroidVPN that works with devices using Android 4.0+

    Just update/download it at the market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.aed.droidvpn

    Don't forget to leave your comment and rating!



    Sorry, that is what I meant: genokolar's kernel already has TUN built into the kernel :)

    Well then you dont have a problem. Just launch DroidVPN and try to connect :)



    Hi guys, i have a Galaxy S with the last ICSSGS (onecosmic's version, with platypus kernel), and i can't connect (stuck on "Conneting.."), the log file says:

    CoCoVeCoCoCoSeNeFailed to load the new database!
    AuSeUpCoDoReReCoCoCoSeNeFailed to load the new database!
    AuSeUpCo (guess it's loading, and this will be like the line above)

    I don't know if it is tun.ko related, becouse i don't know if i have it and i haven't find it with tun installer...

    Any suggestion?

    Its not tun.ko related. That is actually a bug on ICS devices which is now fixed on our update for today. Just update your DroidVPN and youre good to go. If you are still having problems just send your logs using our app so we can easily diagnose your problem. :cool:
