[Q] vpn can connect but no internet and local lan - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have a samsung galaxy note 10.1 N8000. On my local network I have a synology diskstation DS213j which can run a vpn server L2TP/IPSec or openvpn.
On my samsung I have the latest official firmware.
L2TP/IPSec server DS213j is working fine with my ubuntu 11.10 notebook. I didn't try openvpn yet, but I guess I get that working too.
On my samsung I can connect nicely to L2TP/IPSec server (with build in android vpn client) or the openvpn server (with Openvpn for android app).
However I cannot access internet or my local lan. Although I can ping my local lan addresses. When I open ie the url to my webinterface of the local lan it tries to connect to it. It sometimes even manage to display the login screen.
I guess my routing on the tablet is wrong. Routing is set to automatic, only dns servers has been filled in manually, because they didn't get pushed right by the openvpn server on my synology. Notice that I don't have this problem on my ubuntu notebook.
Did someone manage to succesfully setup a vpn connection using L2TP/IPSec or openvpn?
If so I must take another look at the vpn servers on my synology, else I think I need to get root access to my tablet to manipulate the routing table.
BTW the goal is to rout all the traffic through the vpn expecially the internet. I need to access the internet through my home IP so I can use the live TV app from my cable/internet provider when I am on the road.

Solved with the official release of DSM 4.3 beta and vpn server update of my synology. As I expected not all the routes were pushed by the server. dns servers I still have to ad them manually.

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?

[Q] Has anyone tunneled PPTP VPN connections over a SSH connection?

I'm using CM9 on my galaxy nexus.
I can connect to my PPTP VPN server (my router running tomato) fine without tunneling, both inside my lan, and outside it.
I can connect to my SSH server (again my router), both inside my lan and outside it. And have successfuly forwarded ports before w/ connect bot and remote desktop apps.
But everything I try results in my VPN connection timing out when I try to do it over the SSH tunnel. I have it connecting to localhost on the VPN settings side. And on the connect bot side i am forwarding port 1723 to 192.168.1.1:1723 (which is my routers lan IP).... but it still times out.
Does anyone have any ideas? is this even possible?

[Q] [HELP] SSH Tunnelling

Hello.
I need some help about my problem connecting to my work lan.
I have a PC in office connected to work LAN. I can connect to my pc from remote usign SSL VPN.
I have installed Junos Pulse on my Galaxy Note 10.1 and with it I can connect to my VPN and then, using port 3389, I can connect to my PC using RDC.
If I need to access my work network, I need to make some tunnel using port 3389.
I installed SSH server listening on port 3389 on my pc and, after VPN connection has been established, I try to use SSHtunnel to configure connection to my ssh server (working ok) and then starting Global Application routing. When I start SSH tunnel it connect to my ssh server and it works (for ex. using internet browser from android) but only using IP addresses.
If I try to use names instead of IP it is unable to resolve DNS, also if I set DNS option ON in SSHtunnel.
I cannot understand how to accomplish that kind of connection. I tried proxydroid, sshtunnel, autoproxy but they does not work (or I am not able to make them work).
I don't know if it is some problem using tunnelling with Junos pulse.....
Any help for me?
Thank you
No help?

[Q] VPN and SMB shares

I recently set up OpenVPN on my router and connected with my phone using OpenVPN for Android. I could access my router settings and the uTorrent WebUI on my desktop, but I couldn't access my SMB shares. I have no issue with SMB when connected to my router via wifi, but I can't seem to get it to work over the VPN. The computer I'm trying to access shares from is running Windows 7, if that helps. Also, if there's an easier way to access shares remotely than what I'm trying please let me know.
I have only two ideas, how to start error search:
1. Try to connect to the VPN -Samba-shares using a Desktop PC
2. Do your Android-Device offer a native VPN-support (So does mine!) Maybe the App you're using to connect to the samba-share does not use the VPN-Tunnel, because OpenVPN does not provide it to other apps? I once had a similar issue, when i tried to connect to my home VPN-Network, while i was in another WLAN, where the IP-Adresses where the same as in my home-Network (192.168.1.1 was the router, 192.168.1.99 was the NAS) and i was routed to the NAS in the local network although the VPN-connection was enabled! I changed the IP of my NAS at home and the problem was gone. Don't know if this helps...

VPN app for home VPN server

Does anyone of an app that can connect to a basic PPTP home vpn server? I have an old XP machine at home set up just for connecting to my home network via VPN which works perfectly on a laptop or my phone using the stock android vpn option. I use it to be able to have full access to some media services that require you to be on your home network. My issue is I can not find a way to use it with a fire stick since the firestick doesnt have a native vpn option and every vpn app i have found does not allow you to just enter a basic pptp user name and password type of vpn server.
