<p dir="ltr">After a little investigation I found:</p>
<p dir="ltr">1. As a user-space VPN daemon, OpenVPN is compatible with SSL/TLS, RSA Certificates and X509 PKI, NAT, DHCP, and TUN/TAP virtual devices. OpenVPN is not compatible with IPSec, IKE, PPTP, or L2TP. (<a href="http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/341-openvpn-compatibility.html">http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/341-openvpn-compatibility.html</a>)</p>
<p dir="ltr">2. Android 4 comes with VPN type: <br>
> PPTP <br>
> L2TP/IPSec PSK <br>
> L2TP/IPSec RSA <br>
> IPSec Xauth PSK <br>
> IPSec Xauth RSA <br>
> IPSec Hybrid RSA</p>
<p dir="ltr">Which seems to say that I have to go with an "after market" app. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Back to my original question - since I don't seem to be able to bridge my vpn connection from android (no tap in the openvpn android app), how do I use a routed vpn connection (only tun available in the openvpn android app) to my router to access any server on my network?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thanks,</p>

<p dir="ltr">Bob,</p>
<p dir="ltr">I am running the latest software on my tablet, so probably the same as you. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I think I have to set up the openvpn on my router. What is the native vpn on the tablet, and how do I setup openvpn pin my router?</p>

<p dir="ltr">What version of android is your tablet running ? I have the tf700t and its running 4.2.1</p>
<p dir="ltr">You shouldn't have to run any special vpn software, if you go to settings and more, you can select vpn and set it up from there.</p>

<div dir="ltr"><div>I have been itching to setup a VPN using my ASUS RT-N16 running DD-WRT v24-sp2 (3/19/12) mega so I can access my local network while away from home. I have been doing some reading about it, and I am a little confused. What I want to do is access any server on the network from a remote location using my Android tablet or Debian laptop. I could just open some random ports and ssh into any of the boxes, but a VPN would be more challenging to setup...;)<br>
<br></div><div>I have not rooted my tablet (ASUS TF701), nor do I really want to. There is a non rooted version of openvpn for Android.<br><br></div><div>But then, I read this article (<a href="https://www.grc.com/vpn/routing.htm" target="_blank">https://www.grc.com/vpn/routing.htm</a>) and came to the conclusion that I need a bridged vpn, so with more reading I have to use tap and not tun. My first roadblock - the Android version of openvpn does not support tap, just tun.<br>
<br></div><div>First question - do I have to use bridging (hence tap) to be attached to my network at home from a remote location with my Android tablet? Do I have to use tap? What would you recommend for setting up my vpn?<br>
