Hi Sujan,

Have you tried adding those plugins into any app.I have come across one common error while adding those plugins into a TestApp?

Thanks in advance.

No. You will have to find out yourself if those work or not.

No idea. From the looks of it, an error message because one of the plugins you have installed should have gotten this variable. The first plugin contains it in its code, so probably this one: [https://github.com/aquto/cordova-plugin-vpn/search?utf8=✓&q=ALLOWWIFI&type=](https://github.com/aquto/cordova-plugin-vpn/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=ALLOWWIFI&type=)
