The VPN connections form a very important part of privacy. Especially when we connect from open or public networks is vital that our data traveling encrypted form to prevent third parties may be done with this by capturing packets from inside the network.
 
 
Smartphones generally have the ability to configure VPN connections encrypted so that from the system itself to protect all communication, however, until now when configurábamos a connection of this type is always the whole system was applied to protect all communication at the same time, however, this has changed recently with the latest versions of Android.
 
The new Android 5.0 Lollipop account, as in previous versions, with the ability to configure VPN connections encrypted applied by default to the entire system, however, this new version hid a feature that many have not given importance but can be really interesting for users of VPN connections.
 
From now users of this operating system to connect to VPN servers can apply this connection individual applications, leaving the rest of them connected directly to the Internet without going through that server. This is useful, for example, if we want web browsing and e encrypted trips but other applications, such as games, have no direct connection to generally manage personal data.
 
The native application for Android 5.0 default does not allow this adjustment, however, the developers of alternative customers are already working in this role in the next updates will arrive with filtering by connecting applications. One of these customers with this new feature is the beta of OpenVPN that apart from upgrading to Modern Design, and includes the ability to apply to individual VPN system applications. Gradually other customers will also adapt to this feature.
 
 
 
No doubt this is a great feature that will please all users who regularly connect to the Internet through open or public connections and are concerned about the privacy of their data.
 
How about this new function to apply to specific sections encrypted VPN connections to Android?
