What version of android is your tablet running ? I have the tf700t and its running 4.2.1

You shouldn't have to run any special vpn software, if you go to settings and more, you can select vpn and set it up from there.

I have been itching to setup a VPN using my ASUS RT-N16 running DD-WRT v24-sp2 (3/19/12) mega so I can access my local network while away from home. I have been doing some reading about it, and I am a little confused. What I want to do is access any server on the network from a remote location using my Android tablet or Debian laptop. I could just open some random ports and ssh into any of the boxes, but a VPN would be more challenging to setup...;)

I have not rooted my tablet (ASUS TF701), nor do I really want to. There is a non rooted version of openvpn for Android.

But then, I read this article (https://www.grc.com/vpn/routing.htm) and came to the conclusion that I need a bridged vpn, so with more reading I have to use tap and not tun. My first roadblock - the Android version of openvpn does not support tap, just tun.

First question - do I have to use bridging (hence tap) to be attached to my network at home from a remote location with my Android tablet? Do I have to use tap? What would you recommend for setting up my vpn?

Thanks,

Mark
