Description

Attention: This VPN Client supports only the outdated IKEv1 variant of IPSec!!
For security reason YOU SHOULD NOT USE this Protocol resp. this App if your VPN Server supports a more recent VPN protocol as WireGuard or IKEv2 based IPSec. You have been warned!

Before you buy this software, please test with the free "VpnCilla (Trial)" (also available at the google play market)!

VpnCilla is a VPN Client for VPN Servers as FritzBox, Cisco PIX/ASA, Fortigate or other VPN Servers with IPSec Pre-shared Keying (Xauth IKE/PSK).

Features:
* Profile automatically taken from the Trial version (don't uninstall the Trial until the first run of this full version)
* No root access needed (if the device fully conforms to Android 4)
* Compatible with Fritzbox, Cisco PIX/ASA, Fortigate VPN Servers and others (?)
* Connects/Disconnects with a single click (by a Shortcut-Widget)
* Automatic Reconnect Mode on WiFi/Mobile failover/outage
* Supports Multiple Profiles
* Supports automatic Cisco Split Routing
* Passwords may be stored in profile or always manually entered when connecting (which is much more safe)

Advanced Settings:
* Possibility to specify WiFi Blacklists/Whitelists to explicitely deny/allow VPN on only specific WiFi ESSDs
* Possiblity to specify Manual Routes and/or DNS Server and much more...


Restrictions:
- Mention the security risk if passwords are stored in profile in case your device will be hacked or stolen!
- VpnCilla runs only if the TUN driver (tun.ko) as well as the the Android 4 VPN routing infrastructure is included in the firmware. UNFORTUNATELY NOT ALL DEVICE MANUFACTURER YET HAS INCLUDED IT!! Check with "VpnCilla (Trial)" first!
- Only IKE/PSK Xauth authentication is supported (no PPTP, no L2TP, no Hybrid RSA, no SSL, no Cisco AnyConnect, ...)
- supports IPv4 only (no IPv6)
- supports WLAN/WIFI as well as Mobile Data up to 3g. VpnCilla is unstable over 4g (LTE) on some devices / with mobile providers
- Active Screenfilter apps as Twilight or Lux might prevent selecting of the security dialog checkbox
- VpnCilla can't handle phase 1 rekeying initiated by the VPN server. On Fritzboxes this will occure after 1h connection time whereas on Cisco VPN servers the rekeying interval is configurable and by default after 8h. Typically the session stalls for 2-3 minutes until VpnCilla initiates a reconnect.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

3 ★Great App, only issue is the VPN connection always counts as "metered" regardless of the underlying connection (it should only be metered on mobile data and metered WiFi) EDIT: Other VPN apps don't have this problem.
5 ★Painless profile transfer from trial, and extended options - will give the boot options a try when i figure out a permanent way to stop APNs from preferring ipv6 - Response: the default APN changes edited preference after reboot (probably carrier controlled), i'll try to add one from scratch with a different naming convention, hopefully it survives a reboot. Although this is outside of the app's scope, i really appreciate the tips!
3 ★Works in Android 12 but usually crashes on exit/close.
5 ★This is it! You can connect to your FRITZ!Box LAN by one tap. And good old quality: reported a bug, got it repaired within a week.👍👍
2 ★if the trail runs out during travel and purchase, you have no chance to copy your vpn setting. I have no access to my creds.
3 ★With new update afyer i connect to my fritz vpn i have no internet connection. Edit: seens to ve mostly working again.but generalybvery unreliable,i have to disconnect and reconnect manually whenever my connection changes from wlan to mobile or a deferent tower. Not great for an payed app. Also tge trial one worked great....
5 ★Works great with FRITZ!Box (FRITZ!OS 07.29) and Samsung Galaxy S22 (Android 12).
5 ★Love this App. It works instanly and gets its Job done. The UI is a bit outdated.
4 ★I like it very much, works great! But I have a suggestion: could you add a "sleep timer"? So that one can set a timer after activating vpn connection, it will automatically disconnect. Maybe you could bind that feature to a "only on mobile data connection" - condition. I would love that!
1 ★Bekomme leider mit meiner Handy Datenverbindung keinen vpn mehr hin. Geht seit kurzem nurnoch über WLAN...
