Android Question Build a VPN tunnel in app.

[Jan Van Gastel]

Hello,

I am making a application witch reads out a controller/PLC, this is working.
Now in some cases this controller/PLC is behind a VPN modem/tunnel.
I can make this VPN tunnel with my standard Windows configuration, it is a PPTP tunnel.

Is it possible that my app will build the VPN tunnel ?

There is no library available that allows you to programmatically configure the VPN. However if the VPN is configured properly then it should work.

So, when in the android device has a VPN configured, then the app should be able to use this connection ?

 

[Erel]

Yes.

 

[Jan Van Gastel]

Any idea how ?

You don't need to do anything special. It should use the VPN automatically.
