eduVPN wont't start connection (openvpn) on Android 9, instead crashes
Lukas-UAUX opened this issue · 7 comments
We are in the middle of the transitioning to eduVPN. While most devices work fine, we now got a bunch of Issues regarding eduVPN on Android 9 as we really start to roll out the new service.
The profile configuration works fine, but starting the connection doesn't - instead the App crashes. The log states "probably crashed probably because of memory pressure ".
We only provide OpenVPN, no Wireguard in our setup.
Is there something we could check to help you to fix this issue? We do have an affected device with Android 9 to try sth.
For the moment we have a clunky workaround (with a manually created OpenVPN profile from the eduVPN Portal and the OpenVPN APP)...
It seems Android 9 is not getting security updates since Jan'22 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history
But are working on fix to make it work. Relevant link schwabe/ics-openvpn#1558, fix in this eduVPN pull request #375
We are currently waiting till the pull review has been done. Should be a matter of a few weeks before we can release it.
Hi, are there any news on this?
