FireBrick Road Warrior Android: Difference between revisions

 

We recommend you use the [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.strongswan.android&hl=en_GB StrongSwan app on Android]. The app then needs the CA certificate which you can email yourself and install, and the settings for the host name, user name, password.

 

Via the Google Play store, it's free.

 

#From the Android device, log in to the FireBrick

##Go to Config - Certificates

(We have had reports that the downloaded .pem file, when downloaded using default browser 'Internet' is not visible to Strongswan even though the file is in the Download folder. Using an alternative Browser, such as Firefox, and re-downloading the pem file from the FireBrick works.)

 

#Open the Strongswan App

#Tap on 'ADD VPN PROFILE' (top/right)

*Sometimes (if you can't connect) Edit this profile and untick 'CA Certificate Select Automatically' And select the certificate that you loaded previously (it will be in the 'IMPORTED' tab

 

#Open Strongswan

#Tap on the profile

 

You can also create a 'Widget' for the connection in the 'usual' way for adding widgets to your launcher.
