OpenVPN working only on rooted devices and Android 2.1+
1) First of all we need install BusyBox from Android Market, OpenVPN will not work without it.

2) I had BusyBox installed so just upgraded to 1.18.4 build
Important:
- BusyBox should say “Your phone is rooted”
- need install BusyBox to /system/xbin/ as in my tutorial, it will NOT work properly when installed elsewhere

3) Upgrade will take some time and finally DONE

4) Now we need install OpenVPN Installer and OpenVPN Settings from Android Market
again need run OpenVPN Installer application to continue

5) I recommend install OpenVPN to /system/xbin as in my example
6) Create a folder called openvpn on the sdcard.
Resulting Android path will be /sdcard/openvpn/
(NOTE! Android is case-sensitive. Do NOT use CAPS or lowercase)
7) Start OpenVPN Settings and enable OpenVPN

All done! You should now be able to connect to the VPN

Common problems
- You need properly configured TUN driver, OpenVPN will connect to the VPN but you will not be able to actually use. Driver file tun.ko will vary depending on your phone and kernel. The correct tun.ko can only be provided by the person/group who provided you your Android kernel
- You can load tun.ko manually from settings
- If OpenVPN not connecting try check box “Load tun kernel module” this will load TUN driver before OpenVPN
