If you want to be secure online on your computer, why wouldn't you want to on your phone? This tutorial teaches you how to set up Σɴɪɢᴍᴀ VPN to secure your phones data. I am not paid to promote Σɴɪɢᴍᴀ VPN in any way, I just promote great products that work for me. Here is how you will get Σɴɪɢᴍᴀ VPN running on your android device in minutes.

Note: Σɴɪɢᴍᴀ VPN uses openvpn, and it is as of time of writing this possible to get free in a Contest

OpenVPN only works on rooted devices and Android 2.1+

Install busybox from the android market.

While installing BusyBox should say “Your phone is rooted”
you need to install BusyBox to /system/xbin/

Now install OpenVPN Installer and OpenVPN Settings from Android Market, run OpenVPN Installer application.

Create a folder called openvpn on the sdcard.
Resulting Android path will be /sdcard/openvpn/
Put the config files downloaded with Σɴɪɢᴍᴀ VPN in this folder.
(NOTE! Android is case-sensitive. Do NOT use CAPS or lower case)

Start OpenVPN Settings and enable OpenVPN

Look at your IP address and you will see it has changed and your data is now secure.

Thats it, you are now secure!

Very good explained. But I use a Nokia n900 with Maemo, so I cant use this ;)
But in the near future I'll make a tut for this phone.

Hello,
Nice tutorial, note that there are still many ways to be secure such as proxy, drive encryption, sms, call, and more

This covers a vpn which is the easiest to set up besides maybe a proxy, for every phone there are differences so making a tutorial on encryption would be pointless unless there was a universal way. Thank you for your input, its appreciated.

Yes, but the way to encrypt is different for each phone.
