Hi Bill,

(if you pull the word "openvpn" from ist context it looks like a
contradiction in itsself ;) ;))) 8)

Thank you very much for the informations! Yes, Android and others
looks like, as they were invented to spy on people. Fortunately,
Android can be rooted and there quite a few possibilties to find
out the apps, which are bad (at least).

I will see, how this fit all together. The Android firewall itsself
uses a device local VPN, so I dont know, whether this may clash with
the setup...I will see.

Thanks a lot! :)

Best regards,
Meino
