Import configs to app data storage for security #9

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

Feature request.

Currently it's easy to use a config directory on the sdcard like 
/sdcard/openvpn to get set up with openvpn, put in all the keys, etc, but it's 
somewhat insecure as all apps have access to your configs, server info, keys, 
etc. If you're not using auth-user-pass then any app could copy everything 
necessary to gain VPN access.

I would suggest an option to import configs and keys to a secure working 
directory under OpenVPN Settings's /data storage. Since openvpn is run as 
root it should still be able to read all the necessary files. This would keep 
other (non-root) apps from copying configs and keys.

Some code for this feature exists in the early history of this project.
