Are Cisco VPN connections possible with G2X?
Bob
I'd like to know as well. It would be great to check my work email on the go (which is only available via VPN)
vpnc widget will work if your rooted. I believe

Hello forum,
couple of weeks ago I had success in connecting a Samsung Galaxy S to our corporate VPN (Cisco ASA) using L2TP/IPSec with certificate based authentication. Now I have tried to do the same with Galaxy GT-I5510 and Sony Ericsson XPeria X10 Mini Pro. GT-I5510 has Android 2.2, and XPeria X10 has Android 2.1. Both of these have identical user interface to configure the VPN connections compared to Galaxay S. But, either of these do not even try to open the connection when I try to enable it. Both simply say:
"Unable to connect to the network. Do you want to try again?"
I know that the devices do not even try to connect to the VPN server, because I have monitored network traffic on the server side. No packets incoming at all. Also, network browsing works, so it's not about data connections being disabled at the device or something like that. I have also tried it using my own WLAN, so it's not about operator blocking IPSec traffic either.
Does anyone have a clue what is wrong with these devices, why do they allow to configure an IPSec/L2TP VPN connection, but then do not even try to open it when activated? Is it possible that IPSec is somehow disabled in these non-high-end devices or something?
Sadly, I have to chime in on this. I got the Thunderbolt today, and found myself in a similar situation. Coming from an HTC Droid Incredible, I found that I cannot connect to my L2TP over IPSec VPN (I am, unlike you, using a PSK). However, I otherwise have EXACTLY the same issue: from my thunderbolt, which is configured identically to the DInc, I get the same error. I can browse to the VPN server from the Thunderbolt's browser, etc. and if I configure my Thunderbolt as a mobile hotspot, I can connect device to my Thunderbolt, then connect through the Thunderbolt to my VPN, but I cannot connect directly from my Thunderbolt to my VPN server.
Extremely frustrating. Hope you have found a solution.
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.
Having an issue using the built-in VPN. I can set up a PPTP VPN and connect, however, once connected I have no internet (no data). As soon as I disconnect, I have data. Did some searching around the web and noticed it was a know issue on Android, but wondering if others on the TF have the same issue?
When using a VPN it uses the gateway on the remote network. If that network requires a proxy server you won't have an internet connection. There are apps out there that let you set proxy settings, but thankfully Google is finally included the options natively in the 3.1 update. What I would really like them to do though is allow you to use your local gateway instead.
I have no problems using AceVPN www.acevpn.com with my TF using the builtin vpn client. My HTC Inspire also works great on there.
What is the built in VPN client you are speaking of?
I am looking for a VPN client i can use to log into my work network - I assume it doesn't have to be the same client as on my laptop?
I am going on holidays and only taking the TF - I want to be able to VPN into my work network if needed. ON the face of it I don't see how it would work since even if I VPN in the network is MS based so not sure how an Android client works on a MS based network - since I am not remoting into a machine with Windows - just VPNing into the network......so once I am in then what?
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!
I'm trying to run FoxFi with HotSpot of another VPN client, but after connecting to the VPN, the hotspot client is unable to access the Internet.
WiFi Tether works fine with a VPN client, but the speeds aren't acceptable, it goes from 15-20Mbps with FoxFi to less than 1Mbps with WiFi Tether.
Strange, but there have been occasions where FoxFi will just start working with a VPN connected on my HTC One S.
Thanks,

Okay, WifiTether 3.2-Beta is running at the expected speeds and successfully connects to a VPN on the phone. It looks like FoxFI using SoftAP, but WifiTether uses Wlan0, not sure how this affects the "RouterFix."
Can somebody tell me what "RouterFix" does to allow the phone to tether while connecting to a VPN?

BUMP!
Did you find a solution to this?
I am running OpenVPN but I have tried Hotspot Shield VPN as well. No luck. Traffic originating on the phone travels in the VPN tunnel. But any traffic from wifi hotspot/tethered clients will not be routed correctly and be dropped.
My only workaround is to create the OpenVPN tunnel on the client Windows computer... so the Tunnel travels all the way through the phone's Foxfi and to my VPN server.
Has anyone tried a manual redirect of the SoftAP traffic to wlan0? Is that even possible with a script (IPtables) or standalone app?

Any solution? I have a Galaxy Note II and on my phone turn on foxfi and I have internet traffic on my windows 7 machine. But when I connect to VPN on my machine the internet traffic comes to a screaching halt. Do I need to do the OpenVPN on the machine?
