[Q] ipv4 vs ipv6 preference - General Questions and Answers

I have a Tunnelbroker 4to6 static tunnel connection to my router. My router feeds dual stack ip-addresses to all wifi clients. As it is 2012 all platforms (windows 7, linux and android) prefers ipv6 over ipv4 making sites with only ipv4 load balancers like youtube run considerably slower. However I have successfully set it so that ipv4 have higher priority in both windows 7 and linux. So I'm wondering if there are anything like /etc/gai.conf under android or if there are any other solution to this?
I'm running Paranoid android (based on cm10) on HTC One X.
Regards!

There got to be someone who knows how to set this!! Please help me!

@Jayus, did you manage to solve this? I too have a usecase for this: an app tries to contact a server and this server _does_ have an AAAA record but is not yet reachable via IPv6. Thus, contacting the server via IPv6 fails, making the app to fail. I'd like to prefer IPv4 for _certain_ addresses.
Setting net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 helps, but this disables IPv6 system wide and I don't want this.

VPN client (standard IPSEC)???

Hi!
Is there any working VPN-client that supports standard IPSEC?? We don't control out external access in our network and the company that runs our firewalls they have set up a watchguard soho 6, which is a standard IPSEC solution. We use the MUVPN (mobile user vpn) client where we have gotten IPSEC policy files (something.spd) which we can't change/look at.
So my question is, is there a VPN client that supports standard IPSEC with IPSEC policy Import??? (for the Windows Mobile 2005 platform.)
I have tried as many vpn-clients that I have been able to find. And the one I assume would work is SafeNets SoftRemotePDA (for Pocket PC) but it is no longer maintained and nowhere to be fiound (tried e-mailing the company as well)
any suggestion would be Great!

PTunnel on Windows Mobile (CE)

Hello,
Has anyone heard of any Ptunnel implementations for Windows Mobile (CE)?
Ptunnel is an application that allows you to reliably tunnel TCP connections to a remote host using ICMP echo request and reply packets, commonly known as ping requests and replies.
Setting: You're on the go, and stumble across an open wireless network. The network gives you an IP address, but won't let you send TCP or UDP packets out to the rest of the internet, for instance to check your mail. What to do? By chance, you discover that the network will allow you to ping any computer on the rest of the internet. With ptunnel, you can utilize this feature to check your mail, or do other things that require TCP.
The only reference to Ptunnel on Windows Mobile is here:
http://unsyncopated.com/wiki/ICMP Echo Request Tunnel for Windows Mobile 5
Has anyone tried anything like this?
Has anyone heard of this concept?
I'm very familiar with the concept (see SSH tunneling) but not by piggybacking in ICMP traffic. In my experience ICMP is blocked more often than regular HTTP.
I'm kind of curious how it works since most cases the port is what is being blocked, in which case most tunneling programs will work, you just choose the port you want. Not many home devices actually do deep packet inspection beyond port inspection, so I'm thinking pTunnel is just sending traffic over through a different port.

[Q] Is there anything for Android that supports IPSec with XAUTH?

Just straight IPSec with XAUTH. No L2TP. The built in VPN client is *really* dumbed down and very inflexible. No company is going to change the way their VPN is configured just to suit a few android users.
It would be nice to have something that would allow me to create my own Phase 1 and Phase 2 proposals, use XAUTH only, certs, etc... and also be able to configure multiple concurrent tunnels.

[Q] Remote Desktop app Transport endpoint not connected

Please Help, I am getting an odd error and so far have only see the topic regarding UNIX systems.
Running Windows 7 Ultimate
Firewall: Bitdefender
Router: Linksys linksys wrt54g V.8
Phone: Droind Incredible SLCD with Redemptive rEVOlution ROM 2.1.3
Using Remote RDP Lite & VNC Lite (ads)
Router is forwarding and set to port trigger RDP port 3389
Firewall Off or on (doesn't matter)
Works on lan, but not 3g to true ip gives me "transport endpoint not connected."
I also tried it with installation of VNC server too (still same result) Can anyone help on this please? I have scoured the net but only found help with UNIX systems showing this prob, no windows machines. I'm not a n00b at networking either, I just don't get why I'm getting the error, makes no sense....

Galaxy Note 10+ OpenVPN Client

Hi, I hope this is the best place for my question.
I need to use my Galaxy Note+ to connect to my company´s VPN trough OpenVPN Client. Everything is working fine with the connection, etc. But, to use my company resources I need to add a static route on Android, because my VPN IP address is on a different IP range from the work network IP range. I am the first one to use OpenVPN with this purpose in my company and I´ve been searching on Google with no success for this case. Is there a way to solve this?
usually, the route was push by the server openvpn, perhaps hou can ask your administrator to modify it
