The client app is based on OpenVPN protocol, and you can create your own android VPN apps like Turbo VPN, Thunder VPN, or Hotspot Shield Free VPN.

The app can calculate the daily usage of data, connected time, check connection speed from notifications, change the interface into night-mode, multiple servers, remote-config and visual-effects.

The servers are now offline! So the servers are waiting for a connection. Get an OpenVPN file and paste the file in filedetails.json. Create your own JSON file and host in a server.

The appdetails.json file has four main parts.

The value ads is a boolean value, you can choose true or false. If the value is true, the app will show ads when the session starts. Otherwise, ads will not show if the value is false.
The array update has three values. version is a String value which is the latest version of the app. When the session starts the app check if the version value is equal to the version of the app. If the values do not match with each other the Update View will show. The values title, description, and size are the values display in the Update View.
The array blocked has JSON objects with values id and package name. You can add apps such as Torrent to avoid the peer to peer file sharing which often misuse by downloading digital media.
The array free has values of the server names. The value city displays the server name and the value image is the name of the flag. The value signal is the value of the strength of the signal. The value file is the index value of the source OVPN file in the filedetails.json.
Change the JSON values and upload into your server or host it in the forked repository (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gayanvoice/android-vpn-client-ics-openvpn/images/appdetails.json) and add the link of the JSON file in the WelcomeActivity.java file https://github.com/gayanvoice/android-vpn-client-ics-openvpn/blob/c35b88b40a8ba6aa382ca7324981511f4c6e886d/app/src/main/java/com/buzz/vpn/WelcomeActivity.java#L59

    -----END OpenVPN Static key V1-----
    </tls-auth>"},
    {"id":1,"file":""}]
