From a1e06807eeb6587c3ea12778440226977d63b064 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sreeram Ramachandran Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2014 14:08:25 -0700 Subject: Hide mutable VpnService APIs to add/remove IP addresses dynamically. These APIs were added because we thought we needed them to provide seamless transition from one server backend to another using local IP addresses to distinguish between the backends. I.e., connections whose local IP address was old would be routed to the old backend; connections whose local IP address was new would be routed to the new backend. It turns out that's not needed. VpnService already supports seamless re-establishment, so VPNs just need to call establish() again with a different IP address. I've verified with a custom VPN app that this works, and can distinguish traffic based on the old and new addresses. Nobody is using these APIs at the moment, so we could even consider removing them altogether, but I prefer just hiding them, just in case.
