I figured it out. Sometimes the redirect-gateway command isn't successful so my packets are not being sent over the vpn. Is there a way to ensure that this has worked before the vpn connection is established or at least increase the odds? I would hate to have to check the log to be sure it worked before I started using the vpn. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Android is increasing in popularity, but the open development platform that developers love is also attractive to malware creators.
