How do you set up a VPN?

We've seen a few questions lately on how to set up and use VPN on Android.

Today I'm going to show you exactly how to do that using OpenVPN. The first step is download and install the OpenVPN app on your phone.

Step 1 - Downloading and installing OpenVPN. If you haven't already installed OpenVPN app from the play store, it's time to do so. The app is a cross-platform app that works across most operating systems. While the primary purpose of the app is to let you connect to secure sites and proxies (both within the apps use as well as those on remote servers) it also acts as a VPN itself. This is good because it's able to connect to a VPN server without any special requirements that most other apps require. (Like being an Android device or running certain Android versions.)

For those of you new to this topic, I don't have any sort of fancy "how-to's" (yet) for how to set up a VPN on Android. Instead I'm going to cover everything there is to know in terms of how it works. We'll break it down to its bare bones so that you can understand what's going on.

What is VPN (Virtual Private Network)? A Virtual Private Network (VPN) creates a virtual private network tunnel from a public network (internet) through a "tunnel" to a secured private network. VPN networks are great for people who work from home or on remote networks or networks with access that is restricted. VPN networks also prevent someone from "sniffing" your network traffic (seeing all your internet activity) when connected to a public internet network. Instead they see their own network activity.

If you're familiar with the concept behind VPNs on other operating systems then you'll know what I'm talking about here. What makes VPNs work? VPNs work by encrypting all your network traffic before it leaves your mobile device. Before the encrypted data reaches it's destination the encrypted traffic is decrypted so the data is displayed correctly. If the information were to be intercepted or compromised it can't be read. Instead it would appear as nonsense to anyone looking at it.
