I'm running OpneVPN server/client configuration on Linux machines but I'm not sure which setting to select on Android to talk to OpneVPN |

Android 4 comes with VPN type: |
| 32 |
PPTP |
| 33 |
L2TP/IPSec PSK |
| 34 |
L2TP/IPSec RSA |
| 35 |
IPSec Xauth PSK |
| 36 |
IPSec Xauth RSA |
| 37 |
IPSec Hybrid RSA |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Which one is compatible with OpenVPN? |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
My preference would be to connect to an existing session "shadow" |
