VPN system wide #27
Comments
I've came up with an idea that it might be possible for Shelter to act as a forwarder for VPN services. I might go deeper into that idea and try to implement this in the future. For now I am keeping this issue open as a reminder for future releases. |
Do you think to work on this feature ? It is the only reason I can't use your application, running a vpn twice is too much memory consuming. By the way, thank you very much for your application and your dedication. |
@mirabellette I will definitely look into the possibility of doing this. However, if memory / resource consumption is the major concern, I'm actually not sure if a packet forwarder embedded in Shelter would consume much less memory. Because there is no direct way to redirect packet from the profile to the VPN in main profile (except if we modify Android directly), Shelter will have to act as a VPN itself and use a UNIX domain socket or something to tunnel the packets. It will be basically a VPN-over-VPN, albeit the local part might not need actual VPN features. |
Thank you for your answer, I understand what you mean. I hope it will not be too much time consuming to develop this feature, we will know if it is betterthan running two VPN application with the same configuration twice. Another reason to run an unique VPN is to avoid to have to create two profiles and to maintain two configurations for a single device. |
Is it possible to use the same VPN for both main and work profile? As it is now I've to clone openvpn and connect twice.
