It allows to your own/company/university/provider OpenVPN server or to the VPN service of many of the commercial

4 ★ No longer works with the app VPN Servers. But I understand that the other app should be updated to work again. Servers must be added manually which kind of ruins the main use I had for this app. Changing to "legacy" might fix some of the problems.
5 ★ It was good
5 ★ It did what the official app couldn't. No more fragment error. Thanks for the app!
3 ★ Just right
5 ★ Ok
