Very nice hack with the OnDemand VPN, would have never guessed something like that exists in iOS. Also like the idea of amber.io, impressive number of retailers already on board! Would love to hear from people using the API about their experience.

Keep on hacking!

The OnDemand VPN hack is pretty cool -- I'm left wondering how/if this can be transferred to Android? Is it any harder because third party browsers are much more prevalent on Android?

According to this: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=25843 iOS is the only platform that does VPN OnDemand.

I have to look into making it work on Android, I'm sure there are ways to get it working, but it will probably be a different approach than iOS.
