I just got my TB this morning, am working on configuring it to replace my DInc. I have an L2TP over IPSec (PSK) VPN set up on my DInc, and it works without any problem. I tried the exact same settings on my TB, and I get a box "Attention Unable to connect to the network. Do you want to try again?"
I get this message whether I try to connect from 3g/4g or from my own wireless network (on the same LAN as the VPN). When I look at the logs on the machine hosting the VPN, I see absolutely nothing when I attempt to connect from my TB (connecting from my DInc produces the right log entries). I can also connect to the VPN server from other clients (Windows 7, etc.) without any problems.
*Edit: Cannot connect from TB via PPTP either. Can connect from other PPTP clients.
I have been able to connect to my works VPN (using PPTP) without problem.
Very fast and stable so far! Used it for about 15 minutes without a hitch.

Thanks for the reply. I am still unable to connect directly from my TB, using PPTP or L2TP. If I configure my TB as a mobile hotspot and connect to the internet through it, though, I can connect to my VPN server using the TB's internet connection. But I still cannot connect from the TB using its VPN client.
Lovely. After doing some extensive reading, it sounds like the problem is likely the rom itself. Guess I'll be waiting for an update.
can you list what settings your using in your VPN? since this forum is aout people having trouble and not bragging about whats working?
I too am running dasBAMF and have no VPN's added nor can I find default settings

I'm guessing your post was directed at rajuabju, but hopefully I can help. I do finally have both PPTP and L2TP/IPSec VPN's working on my TB. With what are you having trouble?
Have you tried OpenVPN? I have had the most luck with that, as well as having it forward all traffic through the VPN.

Has anyone ever attempted to set up a WinMo VPN to a Sonicwall firewall? I've been spinning my wheels for a few days now trying to get it to work on my TP2 with no luck.
I've not connected to Sonicwall, but I too wasted a lot of time trying to connect to our corporate VPN server (uses PPTP). The phone couldn't connect--wouldn't even attempt to connect.
I then installed another modem connection in my work connections. I used the #777, [email protected], and password = vzw. It works now.
Maybe that will also work with the Sonicwall. I'm curious why I had to go through all those steps. My other Windows Mobile phones automatically used the Verizon connection when a VPN session need to be established.
Thanks, but I can't use PPTP. I need to use IPSec or L2TP. My issues are more about properly configuring one of these protocols. Anyone? Anyone?

how about netextender?
Dear all, I got my new Nexus One, rooted, with recovery ROM and with Modaco Custom ROM installed (without Add-On installed).
I installed also the VPN Connection but I cannot get it to work!
Anyone was succesfully get it to work on N1?
Or any other idea to get a VPN connection with a Cisco concentrator?
thank you
I would like that one as well!
I've installed the VPN connection from the market on top of Cyanogen's Baconmod and it worked the first time. I'm going back to my companies Cisco concentrator also.
I'm using a group password - make sure you set that up correctly... Connects over WiFi or 3G with no issues. I'm not certain if it works well with certificates.
I am unlocked, rooted, RA Recover, and N1 Addon. Once you get all of that setup then go to the market and download "VPN Connections - root".
It should work barring any unforeseen configuration on your work side like TCP vs UDP, connections port changes, or anything else that would be propagated by a configuration file.
But if you unlock, root, and have Cyanogen's N1 Addon you should be fine unless you have a config challenge.

Cisco VPN works but has issues
Nexus is my first Android phone and I just rooted and baconized. I was so conflicted, but I told myself it was inevitable. The phone has been solid for a week and I knew that when the first ROM dropped with multi-touch, I wouldn't be able to resist. Might as well get a head start, right?
First thing I did was install VPN Connections from the Market and setup a connection to my company Cisco ASA. I was totally stoked when I was able to connect and VNC into my office PC. After I was done. I went back into VPN Connections and disconnected from the VPN. My Internet (WIFI) access did not come back. Next I tried disabling the VPN from within the app. No dice. I then forced VPN Connections closed and still no good. I ended up disabling and re-enabling WIFI to get it my net connection back. Is this normal?
networking hosed after disconnecting VPN...
Posted this over in the apps section, before I saw this thread:

Does this program place a .pcf file anywhere on the phone? I have a pcf file from my work VPN, and the options that are in the UI are not quite enough to cover what all I need to enter. I looked all over the place for a pcf file, but couldn't find one. I know that the get-a-robot initial version of this program had one, but I don't know where this new version keeps it (if it does at all).

Cisco VPN
I have a question about Cisco VPN. i've not tried using it on an android phone, because I wasn't sure if the way my company's VPN works is supported. My company uses a token file that needs to be "installed" on the computer for the Cisco VPN. So the question is, would the Cisco VPN solution for Android support this?
Thank you
Using CM beta 4 rom with update from Google and this program FCs when trying to connect to vpn.
Any helpful hints would be great.
not sure on the fc, maybe try another rom/kernel.
i wasn't able to get this to work using any of the cyan roms so i must be doing something wrong.
my vpn works fine with the settings i've used for both vpn client (windows cisco client) and vpnc (fedora linux client) but when i press connect on android it will instantly say failed, is there a log available for this application?
I have a New Asus Transformer Pad with 4.0.3 on it.
I've added a new VPN IPSEC XAuth PSK to it and it connects fine but when I start the VPN then try to browse the net its reboots and if I try to access email it can't see anything.
I need to know if this is a bug or if something is configured wrong.
I've tried looking everywhere to find this out but can't find anyone that's had this problem so far.
I set up VPN on mine using IPSEC XAuth PSK, it says it connects, but I can't do anything (like remote into a PC). It doesn't crash though.
When I asked my Administrator to look, he could see the connection but there was no data coming through at all.
I've rooted mine and used VPN Widget which I used on my DHD and it works fine.
Update
Asus has since released and update but i'm not sure what it corrected. The version number hasn't changed so it must just be some backend fixes.
When i connect the VPN now it doesn't crash but as you said it doesn't look like its pushing the data over the VPN connection. The stats never change.
I've tried putting in the DNS search name, DNS server. That didn't help.
The forwarding route might help but i'm unsure what route i should be putting in there any ideas?
I'm a system/network administrator, if possible I'll see if I can try and set it up for myself and see if I can replicate the bug (if I can't it's probable that it's a misconfiguration on your end).
Might take a while though
Settings
I'm using a IPSEC XAuth PSK for the VPN connection.
Hopefully this will be able to give you the same results.
Same Issue w Asus, but not Acer
I have been waiting for a while to have this resolved as I want to be able to use my Transformer Prime to vpn to my work. My IPSEC XAUTH PSK connects as well, but will not allow me to remote desktop into my work PC.
I bought an Acer A500 for my daughter and this morning I was able to update it to ICS. Tried the exact same VPN settings, connected and remoted into my work PC flawlessly.
Looking forward to the next firmware update for ICS / Transformer Prime so it hopefully resolves the issues.
Found a VPN that works
So that people know I found a VPN that works with PSK X/Auth.
Its pretty new made by Matthias Meier called VpnCilla.
There is a trial to test with but you then have to buy it for $5.46.
Try it out it works.
As an alternative, you can set up a pptp vpn using the vpn setup wizard in windows 7 for free (assuming you have windows 7). I can confirm that this works with the 300. It uses microsoft point to point 128bit encryption, and can be configured to require password encryption. Its not exactly high end encryption, but its better than no encryption or novpn connection at all. It will protect you from some kiddie running a packet sniffer program.
I am trying to use my Driod Bionic to get to my work dekstop. This is what I am doing. I am firing up the wifi hotspot (paid through Verizon) and connecting my laptop to that. I verify that it has internet access. Next I open my Cisco VPN client and connect to my work network (I get proper IP address, DNS servers and search domain). When I open remote desktop and try to get to my work PC (or any other pc/server) it times out.
We also have a Veriaon MiFi and I do the exact same thing and it works flawlessly. It seems to be related to the phone. I also have a co-worker trying to do the same thing with an iPhone and having the same result.
It appears to be something in the phone blocking traffic. Has anyone else had this problem and got it to work? When I call Verizon they say they don't support it past connecting to the VPN. Another agent toled me I need to get an app to ebable the RDP passthrough.
Thanks a million!
Anyone else experiencing this?
When I try to connect to my VPN server using OpenVPN connect over TCP I get a Network EOF error, and when connecting with the regular Open VPN Client app I get "SIOCGIFHWADDR(lo) failed." Works fine when I connect under UDP, and connecting to the same server under TCP works fine on my other devices (I'm coming from the Nexus 6 2014 and used it extensively on there).
From what I can see on Google it sounds like this is a ROM issue, but wanted to make sure it's happening to everyone so I know it's not just something misconfigured on my end.
I just tried mine and TCP connection isn't working for me either.

Out of curiosity, does UDP work for you? I figured UDP was working, because it showed as connected with no errors on OpenVPN Connect but it actually doesn't load anything from the internet whilst connected and the other OpenVPN app is giving me the same "SIOCGIFHWADDR(lo) failed" error.
This is a pretty major issue
I'll bet your wifi doesn't approve of VPN.
UDP and TCP connection through the Private Internet Access app work fine. There's a configuration problem in what you're trying to do. Either the wifi LAN won't allow it, or your OpenVPN settings are off, or the OpenVPN app is somehow unhappy in Nougat.

It's definitely possible that the OpenVPN settings are off, possibly requiring a different configuration on the v20, however the WIFI is fine and Nougat isn't an issue as it works fine on my Nexus 6 2014 running Android 7.0.

Yep, UDP works without issue through OpenVPN.
My PIA app works as well.
It depends on the security settings with the network, with my home wifi or data using from the Usim, it works ok, if using my company network, it block me out, and won't connect.
