34 Hi Bill,
35
36 (if you pull the word "openvpn" from ist context it looks like a
37 contradiction in itsself ;) ;))) 8)

39 Thank you very much for the informations! Yes, Android and others
40 looks like, as they were invented to spy on people. Fortunately,
41 Android can be rooted and there quite a few possibilties to find
42 out the apps, which are bad (at least).
43
44 I will see, how this fit all together. The Android firewall itsself
45 uses a device local VPN, so I dont know, whether this may clash with
46 the setup...I will see.
47
48 Thanks a lot! :)

50 Best regards,
