Parameters
address The route to be added.
prefixLength Network prefix.
Returns
  • This Builder object with the route added.

public ParcelFileDescriptor establish ()

Since: API level 28

Create a VPN interface using the parameters supplied to this Builder. The interface works on IP packets, and a file descriptor is returned for the application to access them. Each read retrieves an outgoing packet which was routed to the interface. Each write injects an incoming packet just like it was received from the interface. The file descriptor is put into non-blocking mode by default to avoid blocking Java threads. To use the file descriptor completely in native space, see detachFd(). The application MUST close the file descriptor when the VPN connection is terminated. The VPN interface will be removed and the network will be restored by the system automatically.

Usually network parameters are never changed during the lifetime of a VPN connection. It is also common for an application to create a new file descriptor after closing the previous one in system VPN. If the new interface cannot be created, the existing interface and its file descriptor remain untouched.

An exception will be thrown if the interface cannot be created for any reason. However, this method returns null if the application is not prepared or is revoked. This helps solve possible race conditions between other VPN applications.

Returns
Throws
IllegalArgumentException If a parameter is not accepted by the operating system.
IllegalStateException If a parameter cannot be applied by the operating system.
SecurityException If the service is not properly declared in AndroidManifest.xml.

public GenericVpnService.Builder setMtu (int mtu)

Since: API level 9

Set the maximum transmission unit (MTU) of the VPN interface. If it is not set, the default value in the operating system will be used.

Parameters

Returns
  • This Builder object with the MTU set.
Throws
IllegalArgumentException if the value is not positive.
