PPTP VPN issue - Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a dd-wrt router at home and i really like how easy it is to use the vpn capabilities of it mostly to look in on my munchkins while i am at work. Being that i work primarily 3rd shift its nice to be able to take a peek in on them while they are sleeping. I am a little paranoid though so the only way into the network is by vpn connection.
Anyway i have run hephappys 9.2.2 and had no problem connecting to the vpn.
Running nightlyfour 5.4 i can't connect to the vpn.
Anyone know if there is a patch for this?

Cisco VPN on Nexus One

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?

Can't Connect to VPN

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.

No internet when using built in 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?

FoxFi Tether + VPN

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?

WiFi DNS issue

Currently running Sow Nice OJC on my G920T. I've been running into some odd WiFi issues...namely with DNS and addressing. At my and my girlfriend's house, WiFi is pretty much pointless as I get DNS errors. Her connection is using the standard Xfinity all-in-one modem/router which isn't configurable worth a damn...but her phone and tablet work fine via WiFi, as does my laptop. At my house I have my own modem and router; I have the DHCP server set up to use Google's public DNS servers. All my devices in my house work fine...Xbox, computer, even Chromecast...but for whatever reason my S6 runs into DNS errors which of course disables WiFi Calling as well.
I have tried running static IP and manually setting Google DNS as well as other DNS; it doesn't seem to help. I have also tried toggling airplane mode. I haven't experimented much with other connections that aren't Comcast, so I will include that in my troubleshooting. I am unsure if this is related to the issue I was having with connecting to my GoPro via WiFi.
Anyone else out there running Lollipop have DNS issues (or don't) and have found a solution? It isn't a huge issue at the moment as I have good signal at both places, but I would like to be able to use WiFi for the bandwidth...
Still working on this...it appears to be an IPv4 issue. All devices in my house happily get an ipv4 address alongside ipv6. Not the S6....it only uses ipv6.
