      Hi All,

      I setup pfSense OpenVPN server without any issue, OpenVPN Clients on PC worked like charm, downloaded the config file from Client Export tab. I would like to use it with my Note2 (running Jellybeam 4.1.2), but seems it's not possible.  I have tried OpenVPN Connect and OpenVPN for Android, both apps were listed on the Client Export page, I thought they should be working, BUT Both of them have issues.

      OpenVPN Connect gives the following when trying to connect to my pfSense VPN Server:

      Android Bug
      Sorry, due to a known bug in this version of Android, it is not possible to gain permission to open a VPN tunnel.​

      OpenVPN for Android also will not connect and the following is in the log file:

      VPN API permission dialog cancelled:
      Your image does not support the VPNService API, sorry : (

      Is there any known solution or settings I could adjust in order to use a VPN service with my phone?

      Thanks,

      William

        Solved by enable VPNDialogs system app, it was frozen and disabled before, using OpenVPN for Android.
