VPNC Widget

VPNC Widget is a convenient tool designed to ease the process of connecting your Android device to a VPN server, such as Cisco VPN servers or a Fritzbox, with just a simple click. The primary purpose of the platform is to provide an efficient and quick setup for a secure connection.

This application caters to specific requirements and is best suited for devices with Android 2.x operating systems. It's important to note that the software requires root access which implies that your device needs to be rooted – a fact that brings with it an additional security risk. For non-rooted devices or those with Android 4+, a recommended alternative is using VpnCilla, which does not require root access and offers a broader range of features.

To ensure proper functionality of the widget, several prerequisites must be fulfilled: the device must have a TUN device feature enabled in the kernel, it has to be installed on the internal memory (as widgets do not support SD card installation), and it should be placed on the home screen as a widget. Granting 'Superuser' rights upon request is necessary for full access to the platform's capabilities. Note that usage of automatic task killers should be avoided as they can interfere with the service.

One limitation is that the app only supports Pre-Shared-Key (PSK) authentication and maintains one user/server profile. While the credentials, including passwords, are stored on the device, they are not accessible to other apps without root permission. An additional note is the reliance on the "advanced routing" kernel feature; without it, the VPN connection may drop during Wi-Fi DHCP renewals, requiring a manual reconnect.

The software is offered as-is, without any warranty or liability for potential risks or damages. Users are advised to proceed with caution and at their own risk when utilizing it.

VPNC Widget has been successfully tested with various ROMs, proving its compatibility and reliability in creating a secure VPN connection for rooted Android devices. With this game, establishing a VPN connection is streamlined, offering users a straightforward and secure solution for mobile connectivity.
