Light-weight VPN software?

Chuck

I'm looking for light-weight, fast and secure VPN software for Android. The native VPN client in the phone doesn't support NAT IPv4.

Free or Paid.

There are too many on Google Play. Not sure what is the lightest?

I recommend you use Shadowsocks instead of VPN. Nice day!

I suggest you use openvpn it works great, i have a public vpn with a custom client and it works awesome

I'm currently using SoftEther. How do I add Shadowsocks?

Do I have to add anything to the SoftEther server first?

so in reality it's probably the least ranked and worst, but that website get's a larger commission from them.

which server is best for IOS client (ipad/iphone) ? SoftEther seems to support their native VPN, but OpenVPN needs a client to be installed.

what's the best solution to use ?

On my own CentOS 7 servers I use strongSwan. As iOS now supports IKEv2 out of the box, it eliminates the need for PSKs.

There is even a very handy guide you can follow to get it all setup from start to finish: https://raymii.org/s/tutorials/IPSEC_vpn_with_CentOS_7.html
