VPN BETA version for Android 5.0 Lollipop

Posted on November 30, 2014 @ 11:16 am

DroidVPN uses native executables to operate correctly and we observed that those executables were no more working with Android Lollipop. It appears that Android has introduced one more security feature called PIE (Position-Independent Executable). PIE has been supported since Android 4.1 but they decided to make it mandatory on Android 5.0. This means that if you are not using statically built executables, you need to provide a PIE and a non-PIE version if you want to support both pre-4.1 and post-4.4.2.

So we recompiled the executables needed by DroidVPN and used it in this new version which should now work on Android 5.0

Please understand that this is a test version and will not work on all devices. We have tested it on our own and it does work on some of our devices and it does not work on other devices especially unofficial Android Lollipop ROM.
