I have no root access on the telephone. But Android 4.0 provides an API for VPNs (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/VpnService.html). Looking at my method at the method that opens the tun device to passed over managment socket might also give an idea how it is done in Android: http://code.google.com/p/ics-openvpn/source/browse/src/de/blinkt/openvpn/OpenVpnService.java#220 Arne
