Android VPN

    Hi

    I currently have open VPN connect and the FEAT VPN on my android phone which I use to manage my VPN connections.


    Is there anyway that I can set it up so that my phone always automatically connects to a VPN when Wifi is switched on? I do think see how this can be done with either of the two apps that I currently have.

    Thanks

    Have a look at tasker or locale maybe ?

    I use Open VPN Connect and I get prompted each time I connect to allow Open VPN Connect to intercept all my network traffic. I guess this is an OS level sponsored dialog. I don't know if tasker can deal with those but I doubt it.

    Not sure if it's exactly what you are looking for, but the Tunnel Bear app is good for VPN.

    I use AutomateIt for Tasker-like control. It might be worth looking into. It's easier to use than Tasker

    Hi

    I have open VPN connect as well but I don't get this dialog box. I also have both tasker and automateit.

    Does anyone know how to configure these apps to force a VPN to be used when Wifi connection is on?

    Thanks

    Interesting, I wonder why I get the dialog and you don't - running Android 4.1.2 here rooted obviously.
