N5 won't connect to vpn via T-Mobile LTE it connects without issue via WiFi and 3g. Am I missing something?

I'm having the exact same issue except on AT&T.
Also problems with T-Mobile LTE to DD-WRT Router (VPN PPTP)

I haven't had a chance to try a Wi-Fi connection, but via T-Mobile, I can not establish a VPN connection from the N5 to my DD-WRT Router.
What's REALLY interesting is that both my Win 8.1 computer and Asus Transformer CAN create a VPN connection when Wi-Fi tethered through the N5 connected via LTE.
So it seems like the problem is not T-Mobile LTE, but something with the VPN software on the phone. I suppose that doesn't make sense if the Wi-Fi is working. I'll have to try that from the office on Monday.
N5 VPN T-Mobile
I have the same issue. Will not connect over T-Mobile LTE or HPSA+. Will connect over Wi-Fi. A Nexus 7 will connect using VPN when connecting to the N5 acting as a Hot Spot. Must be an issue with N5 or android 4.4.

IPV6
I've heard this is a result and problem with T-mobile's LTE network running on IPV6 only, which only Kit-Kat devices do
from a dslreports article on T-mobile using IPV6 for kit kat devices.
I don't remember exactly the problem.
Hopefully T-mobile will figure out the issue, since they will be offering the N5
I have found the fix

This is indeed a bug in android 4.4. It is described in Android code issue 61948 The key comment is #7. The fix that works for me is to set settings- wireless - more - mobile networks -access point names - t-mobile gprs (fast) - APN protocol TO IPv4 and APN roaming protocol as well to v4. I will leave this until the next update comes out.
The idiots at google support hardly knew what VPN is.
Let me know if this works for you as well. My N5 connects very fast now.est
4.4.1 -> No Change
Just updated my N5 to 4.4.1.
It does NOT look like they fixed this problem.

Thanks for the ipv4 fix. Works for me too.

the wireless on my laptop blew up. I know tethering uses the phone's network connection, but is there anyways I can set it up so it uses my house WIFI connection? I'm sure my wifi connection at home is faster than the phone's 3g connection.
Thanks
I think the newest Cyanogen (4.2.5) has added the functionality you want. Just go to Settings -> Wireless -> and turn on Internet Tethering

Yeah, I just did that earlier today. But does that share the phone carrier's network, or my wifi connection at home?
Thanks for the quick response.

Originally it was just to share the carrier's network via the USB connection (<-- this I use everyday), but I remember reading in the changelog that it is now enabled for wifi as well.
I just confirmed it using speedtest.net. You are right.
Thanks!!
That's awesome functionailty. It turns your phone into a wifi adapter with optional 3g.
Okay folks got a bit of a strage development that I could use some help with.
As we all know, Android does not currently support Wifi proxy servers, at least it has no way to access the settings. I live on campus and the wifi is piped through a proxy server to the internet and I found the lack of wireless to be quite annoying (especially the hole it was burning in my pocket!)
Anyway, I had bought a wireless router to have internet all around my apartment. The network is hidden and my HTC Desire wasn't connecting to it. I eventually found out that this was because the network was braodcasting in mixed b/g/n mode. I changed it to b/g only and the phone connected.
I hadn't really expected it to connect to the internet because there was still no proxy set up but to my surprise it did! I checked my data counters and only the Wifi one was going up. The network my router is connected to uses the same proxy as the campus wireless so there is definately a proxy.
An even stranger development is the fact that since then, when I connect directly to the campus wireless network (not to my router) the internet still works. I keep checking the data counters and its not using up any 3G data. I checked my IP address online and it corresponds to the campus IP address. I also switched off the wifi and checked again and the IP changed to my cell provider.
I haven't tried connecting to a different wireless network since then and I didn't change any settings. I'm using an unrooted HTC Desire with stock ROMs. I had downloaded WifiAce but I since removed that and the proxy still works.
So what I'm wondering is, can anybody confirm this or give any thoughts on how this is working? Does anyone also know if the data counters available on the market acurately track data usage or do they simply assume that if the wifi is connected that the phone is downloading via wireless and not cell.
If anyone has any thoughts on this or could go out of their way to try and confirm it I'd be grateful.
(update) I found that it doesn't work on one of the networks, the oldest one on campus. Not sure why this is yet
You are correct. I found out this a long time ago. It also happens with some wireless MAC Laptops. You have to define the broadcasting channel.
Stupid Question, I'm Sure...

I wonder if you could explain what "defining the broadcasting channel" means...in case I occasion similar difficulties joining a public wifi network?
It's a dumb question, I'm sure...but I've never actually owned a router.
Between my dearly-departed, slightly hacked XV6800, followed by Tetherberry on my 9530...Wireless Tether on my CM7 Droid (only in a pinch) and the Clear Wireless dongle on my laptop (shared via Connectify), I think I'm missing several years of typical AP experience.
i connected my blackberry bold 9780 to my laptop and i use it as a modem. i then used virtual router to share the 3G connection to my motorola xoom wifi. i can go online using google chrome just fine but all the other other apps, whether default or downloaded, refuse to connect online. im wondering if it's an adapter setting that i need to adjust or something. p,lease help. i am very frustrated at not bein able to use internet depending apps. it breaks my heart.

I don't understand...you are basically using your Blackberry/laptop configuration to make a mobile hotspot, right? If the Xoom can access the wifi signal for one app it should be able to for any app. Maybe I'm missing something. Can you give more explanation?

I connected my blackberry bold which has 3g to my laptop which broadcasts the connection via wifi. The chrome browser and android market and other goodies apps connect but installed apps don't connect. Plus I recently bought a huawei e5 mobile 3g wireless router. I got my xoom connected to the network but right now only the browser goes online,. The other apps just do not. I don't know what other piece of detail I can give other than the fact that my Xoom wifi is not connecting to 3g networks broadcast via wifi. Any ideas?
This is really very strange... I switched my 3G-Xoom into flight mode and then activated WiFi (so it basically behaves like a WiFi-only Version) and connected it to my mobile (Samsung Galaxy S) and all apps are able to access the internet. Connecting ist to a UMTS-Router (Option GlobeSurf) also worked like a charm...
Did you try to connect your Xoom to a WiFi-Router at home (= Internet access via cable not UMTS)? Does this work or do you encounter the same probs?
Has anyone been successful using the VPN function on AT&T's LTE network? I can connect successfully but no web pages will display and it's as if I have no internet connection. Using the same VPN while on HSPA or WiFi seems to work fine, so it leads me to believe it's a problem with AT&T's network.
On a side note, does anyone know if tethered connections also route through the VPN connection on the phone?...and if so, would it hide the tethering from being detected by AT&T?

Not sure if your problem is the same as my. But when I connect to my work vpn, i think it routed all my phone's data to the work vpn connection.
anyone knows how to separate the two?
I want work lync on vpn and others remain using my carrier 3g connection.l

Not quite the same issue, but I'll take a stab at answering your question. That is exactly how VPN was designed to work. If you connect to your work's VPN, everything on your phone will route all of your data through that VPN. It's done at the system level, not application level.
Has anyone been able to get a VPN (PPTP, L2TP, or OpenVPN) to work while connected Verizon 3G or LTE? I have a work VPN and Private Internet Access and both exhibit the same issues. They will connect, work for a bit of data transfer, and then drop. The drops are caused by the mobile data connection resetting (icon will be grayed out before becoming solid white again). VPN works completely fine on Wifi though.

I have been trying to get the this ironed out as well. Have you tried the client "OpenVPN for Android"? and I'm using a TCP port instead of UDP. My other thought has been it seems like the connection resets more often while I'm mobile. I my location doesn't change I have greater up time.

I have tried that one and the OpenVPN stock app, VPNRoot, and the stock android client. All have the same problem. I don't get drops ever on WiFi, only on mobile.
I have also tried some other things like mssfix and setting a lower MTU, but neither have worked so far.
