Hi wassadude,
We are working the feature right now and a new version of NR for Android VPN is under testing. It runs as a standalone VPN service, same as the one running on PC. It leverages the Android 4.0 VPN API to access the tun device and connect to other NR clients.
With the new build, the users using Android v2.x/3.x devices will keep using the old port forward approach; while the users using Android v4+ devices can enjoy the true NR VPN, e.g. run any apps and connect to the NR VIP, no need to set port forwarding anymore.
The new build will be an universal build and no need to root your device.
Stay tuned, coming soon.
Thanks,
KevinZ - NeoRouter team
