How to Setup L2TP VPN on Android

Android OS is currently the world's most popular operating system created by Google for use on mobile devices; such as: smartphones and tablets. b.VPN client for Android supports Android 4.0.3+ and is not applicable on older versions which do not support OpenVPN protocol. However, you can still use b.VPN service on Android by manually configuring L2TP VPN connection. You can also use this method in order to be able to use b.VPN application on another device simultaneously. Using L2TP VPN connection will grant you the same features of using b.VPN client for Android because L2TP is the best alternative for OpenVPN especially for mobile devices.
