Feature Request PPTP

Would one of the Dev's be willing to tackle getting VPN PPTP with encryption (mppe 128 or 256) working on the G-Tab? Right now it is either not working or working as unsecured PPTP (depending on the ROM). If anyone knows of a ROM where this is functional please let me know.
What little I have found on the history of VPN in android indicates that the last version with encrypted PPTP was version 1.6. Google was having problems keeping a connection to the VPN server.
Reference: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4706
For myself and my coworkers this has become an important need. If we can't get the feature we may be forced to get iPads (*cringe*). I for one am willing to make donations to Dev(s) who can add this. Some ROMs have the option but seem to be lacking the module (unconfirmed) to handle encryption through the included PPPD.
It is possible this may come back in Android 3.0 since it is geared toward tablets but I haven't been able to find any information either way.
Thank you for your time.

Did you try one of clemsyn's latest kernels - they have the tun support. Also on market place there is an OpenVPN app that attempts to install an openvpn binary - that same dev also has an OpenVPN settings app that you can use to create your tunnel. Perhaps that will work for you.

I can currently get a VPN connection, but the server refuses it because it isn't encrypted - even with the encryption option on. I'll try clemsyn's kernel. I noticed he posted one specific to the ZTab ROM recently.

PLEASE keep us updated. This is also essential to my job and I want to use android! GTab in particular.

No luck. Tried the new kernel and still get the same error. G-Tab shows connection lost. Server log shows same error (port 47 blocked or unable to negotiate encryption). Since our laptops all work I'm going to assume port 47 isn't blocked on our network. Maybe not enabled on G-Tab?

Which ROM are you using?
EDIT: nevermind - I see zpad rom. Did you try the vegan rom or tnt rom?

I am setting up a server with two cards and windows server 8 and an accesible ip just as test lab for this. If any dev wants access pm me.

Try this, I enabled everything re: PPP in this kernel including PPTP and also enable MPPE (Microsoft PPP Encryption). I hope this helps. BTW, this MPPE is experimental in the kernel but I hope it works for you.

Brillant! I have a connection! From home even. Many Thanks! (but I can only hit the button once...)
I'll keep an eye on it and see how long the connection lasts. That seemed to be the bug that killed Google's interest in this. With luck it wont show because someone tweaked over it.
I'll spread the word. Thanks again!!
Update: Unfortunately the data traffic stops within a minute. The connection stays up and reports a server connection just no data passes. This is the same issue as Google has in it's bug report. I"ll look at the server logs in the morning to see if anything is reported, but it is at least a step in the right direction.
BTW: The GUI seems a bit faster. Were there any other tweaks in that kernel?

This is awesome - and just what I was looking for! Any chance you could post the Vegan version as well? Thanks so much!

Hi Clemsy,
Thanks again for all the great work you're doing. If you could also do this for vegantab it would be greatly appreciated.

I might have to take a pause on this since I'm having issues with my Gtab at the moment. My screen turned white and I can't see a thing. I was playing angry birds and noticed that my screen sensitivity turned bad and a few seconds later it turned all white. I might have to get a replacement for my Gtab
I can build the kernel for Vegan tab but there is no way for me to test it but it should work fine
I read a post that doing this might fix it:
Add the following to /etc/pptpd.conf
mru 1280
mtu 1280
Please try and see how it goes.

More Info
I had our network admin look at the VPN server logs for my connection. No errors or warning from the server.
One interesting thing to note, it seems that when the data transfer between the tab and the VPN server stops it's only one way. I was able to send mail out from the tab, but not receive mail or view web pages. I'm wondering if the decryption side (incoming to tab) of MPPe is broken. That could explain why the server keeps a connection, but the data flow seems to stop.
Could we steel code from a linux kernel that works?

I don't have a pptpd.conf in /etc. What is the file syntax? I'll make one and copy it in. I'm assuming this is ./etc and not ./system/etc.
Edit: Never mind found info here: http://www.linux.org.au/~quozl/pptp/pptpd.conf.5.html
Edit Edit: Ok I think I have reached the level of my ignorance. How do you get a file copied to /etc? I have tried a file manager with SU permissions, and a terminal with SU permissions. In both cases I am getting a permission denied error. What's the secret?

Upload the file and ill make a zip file for you to flash it.

So close ... I think Google may need to work out a few of their bugs first.
First off a big thanks to clemsyn for the hard work. (I used Root Explorer to copy the file pptp.conf)
Using the latest kernel posted here for VeganTab I was able to connect to a MS PPTP VPN and ping for a long while however just like my Samsung Vibrant the VPN appears to die once a burst of traffic is shot through the tunnel. The tunnel I have discovered is not disconnected but unusable through the Android system. If I disconnect the VPN session remotely the log files indicate that the remote server killed the connection. Not sure much can be done as now I feel I am hampered by Google's inability to care for VPN access. I am sure the developers here can figure this out but why should they have to figure this out when it seems to be a fundamental issue with Google's code. Maybe this disconnection does not happen with OpenVPN? Anybody use it? I am tempted to setup a test OpenVPN server just to see how long I can keep my connection.
BTW ... After remotely killing the VPN connection the VPN services crashes and throws up an exception in the back ground when terminating the service.

Not working. I might try without the encryption in the server side to check if that works. It actually connects (pings) a couple of seconds with the LAN computers... then it nevers connects again... even with reboots. Does the pptpd.conf only need those two lines?

I found this site which may help
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6402
A user stated this:
"Hey! Saw another post elswhere in the forum. For Microsoft VPN using PPTP, I think it helps to disable Software Compression in Routing and Remote Access Manager on the Windows server hosting VPN. After I did that, I was able to connect to VPN.
In Routing and Remote Access Manager, right click on the server in the tree and select Properties. Then, under the PPP tab, uncheck Software Compression. I am the Sys Admin at my Co, so I was able to do this myself. Others may have to submit a request to your respective Sys Admins. Besides, who uses compression on VPN's since the death of Dial-up?
Good Luck!"

[Q] Cisco VPN

Would it be possible with the transformer? I need to set gateway, group name, group password, user name and userpassword. I don't see the group fields in the vpn configuration.
I would rather not root.

Yes, I really want know too if anybody knows about Cisco VPN. I heard somewhere Cisco built the client for Android but I have not found it anywhere.
The only client that I know working is VPN Connections (my friend has it working in his Evo phone), but it requires root access, so I have not tried it yet in my transformer.

Nothing available as of yet, I've spent hours searching.
Samsung had announced they were including this on the 10.1, however I posted the question in that forum, and it was not included in the initial release.

I got this working last night !
I am running Prime 1.4 which includes the tun.ko kernel module which is needed. Then install this app: http://code.google.com/p/get-a-robot-vpnc/
The app is designed for phones, looks absolutely terrible on a tablet, and is unusable in portrait mode. BUT with all that said, I created a profile, entered the vpn address, group name, group password, username and left the user password blank (token auth for me). I set it up to load tun.ko automatically. long press the profile and select "Connect", got prompted for my password, entered it and bam! I'm vpn'd into my work cisco vpn.
Good luck.

That is super news that you got it working! The project is open source, so making it tablet friendly will surely happen. But installing a kernel module means having root.

Indeed it does. I'm actually surprised/disappointed tun.ko is not a standard on all devices. I'd also like to see cifs.ko standard, but there are far fewer people tht wold find that useful I think.

If I understand correctly, the only thing asus would have to do is add tun.ko to the modules. Then everything can be done in userland.
One other link I found was the following:
https://www.nixuopen.org/blog/2011/5/android-and-cisco-ipsec-vpn/
This nicely integrates the cisco vpn support into android. This would be the perfect solution.

Starting with Cisco ASA version 8.4(1) Cisco is supporting Android remote clients using Android native VPN client (only L2TP/IPsec is supported at this point)
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa84/release/notes/asarn84.html
I hope Google will include a full featured VPN client (group support, etc.), and Cisco will provide clientless VPN support for Android devices.

Aha, this might be useful for me. One of the vpn addresses at my uni starts with asa1vpn.* . Thus in my case it might work, I'll probably better send the IT department the above link, they will help me further.
Though I still hope native cisco vpn gets supported in android.

Cisco is supposed to release the anyconnect ssl vpn client for android....but knowing how cisco works ot may be a while. Its supposed to be on their cius tablet.

How did you setup tun.ko to auto load? I've got get-a-robot-vnc working on my HTC Supersonic running CM7 out of the box. However, on TF104 running Prime 1.4 when I try to connect, I get an immediate "Failed to Connect" error. I'm guessing the tun.ko module is not loaded.
Looking online, I searched for the tun.ko module via "find -iname tun.ko" and found it at "/system/lib/modules/tun.ko"
To load it I did "inmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko" and got a # prompt which I think is expected (I'm linux dumb).
I went back to VPN Connections and got the same error.
Looking at the LogCat, VPN_Connections is saying that tun doesn't exist
Edit in:
ok I think I had a typo in my command up there, should be ins[/]mod. When I run that command, I get "insmod: init_module '/system/lib/modules/tun.ko' failed (File exists)

I had this problem as well. Doing a full wipe including cache and dalvik then reflashing prime 1.4 cleared that up for me.
Here is where I am at now. I can connect to the VPN, checking the netcfg from the shell or terminal emulator shows that my tunnel interface is up and has an IP address but when I attempt to use the connection either by web browser or ping from within the shell the tunnel interface drops out.
Checking the last connection log I can see the MOTD banner pop up and show I am connected then I see the following;
Device "wlan0
wlan0" does not exist
RTNETLINK answers: No such device
cp: can;' stat '/etc/resolv.conf' : No such file or directory

Fixed this issue by applying this fix in the link below.
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331445
I also placed a set-x command at the beginning of the VPNC-script file to get a better debug in the lastconnection.log
Now I am seeing the following error;

I can still connection and in the log I can see the router tables build but I am having issues getting the data to pass through the tunnel. The tun0 interface drops as soon as I attempt to pass date through it.
Anyone have any ideas?

tun.ko / VPN Connections does NOT work on Prime 1.4.
Even if it looks like it is working it does not pass traffic through the tunnel.

Yup, my problems were related to a lack of SuperUser providing root access to the VPN Connections software. I got the updated binary and it says it connects, but disconnects within minutes.
Must be a bug in either HoneyComb or the Prime 1.4 ROM. I have VPN Connections fully functioning on my HTC Supersonic running CM7

I checked out the project from the SVN, changed the target to Android 3.1 and rebuilt it.
Now, the UI is a lot better.
The thing that happens to me (it happened before), is that the apps stays on trying to disconnect. I checked on the ASA (the device that manages the connection), and it's not there... So dunno. I just kill the app...
I've attached the program below. Its license is GPLv3 so there shouldn't be a problem.

Can't download certain Apps: Error 497

Hello all,
So I have TWRP 2.6 for my boot recovery on my Transformer Prime TF300T and just installed CyanogenMod 10.1 Nightly build. I couldn't get the 10.0 most recent stable build to actually load up. But the problem that I'm having is now certain applications give me a "Can't download: Error 497" from the playstore. And I get this error with "Goo Manager", "Clean Master", and for some reason "X Comics". But everything else downloads just fine. I've uninstalled, reinstalled the ROMS several times. Done wipes up the wazoo, and so this should be as clean as can be. Like I said, everything works great, but I just can't get those applications. Hoping someone may have a solution.
Thanks.

This sounds similar to problems that I and others are having over here. Does it happen when using cellular data or WiFi? If it's only with WiFi, who is your ISP?

The TF300T is Wi-Fi only. So Cellular isn't an option for me on this device. My ISP is Comcast. Just seems really weird that it's only specific applications.

There are a few causes. Are you using app2sd? Have you fixed permissions? Have you cleared its Data and cache ( under settings / application manager )?
Have you modified your build.prop? Have you modified your dns ( or has another app modified it ) ?
Quoted from a wiki : " Error 497 is related to a downloading category and you usually encounter it while you try to update the applications using a WiFi connection. In this case, adding Google DNS addresses (8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4) to your router's configuration settings could solve the problem. "
If none of this works, just google for the app as an apk file and sideload it. Its not a fix for your issue but you can at least get the appp you want installed.
Download the following apk files using your tablet's browser. Then click to install. They are all the latest versions available on the market. I downloaded them on my note 2, backed them up, and uploaded to dropbox for ya.

I have done a number of complete factory resets, wipes of not just cache but also system and data, with fresh factory images placed down, and I still get the same problem. The only thing that has fixed it for me on my new Nexus 7 has been to use my cell phone's tether so I connect over Sprint instead of Comcast, or to VPN into work which accomplishes the same thing. There's definitely a network issue somewhere, I'd strongly suspect a problem with accessing Google's CDN for app updates.

To answer some of your questions, I have not done any of that, and I'm not sure if any applications messed with my DNS, although I don't have a DNS service setup on my router, so not really sure how that would happen. And I'm not sure if I've fixed permissions yet or not, I'll have to look in recovery and see if I can't figure out a way to do that.
If you haven't guessed by this point, I'm pretty new at all of this. So I'm kinda' learning as I go. I very much appreciate the links for the apk's, and I have downloaded them so you don't need to keep them on your dropbox if you don't want. They work just as expected, so I do appreciate the assistance.
Thanks

If you have a chance, try taking the tablet somewhere where internet isn't provided by Comcast. If you look at the other thread, most of the people there are on Comcast. In my case, as soon as I connect with my phone over WiFi tethering everything works as expected. It's only when I'm on Comcast that I have issues downloading or updating apps.

When I get an opportunity to do so I will. Currently, I don't even know what apps won't work. Since I downloaded the apk's directly and what not, those were the only 3 that I knew were screwing up. But when I get a chance, I'll give the wi-fi a try somewhere else.

[Q] My android phone is being keylogged, please help!!

I believe nothing is secure in my phone including passwords, security pin and even what i'm typing now. Recently, my facebook acct got hacked too.I think my phone is being keylogged. So, I did the following things:
1.First of all, I resetted mydevice
2. Then, I even changed the rom
But, still I feel insecure. I want to know is there any way that the keylogging is kernel masked? Do I need to update the kernel? I need to know about the things I should do to make sure that my phone is completely keylogger free. Please help!

Im no expert in this subject, but what I would do is Flash a new Rom and kernel, then Monitor packets send and recieved by the phone with an app, or with a router. The rooting method also matters. So, Flash the original OEM Software first. Rooting methods that harvest IMEIs have been reported. So, dont go with the "one clickers" to root your device method, but do it the Long way.
I am curretly also using a Firewall in my phone and also my Connection goes through a router with a Firewall.
Normally, I never enter sensitive data when in a dangerous enviroment, such as an unprotected Caffe WiFi.
If you are concerned about a keylogger, then you should be more concerned on how you got your device infected.
I usually refrain from using the Google Appstore. I mostly use Open Source programs/apps that can be compiled or tested
You should look into Fdroid, which Hosts open source apps, not many, but there are some.

Tell me what to do?
My phone is over heating too. So I installed network log from play store and watched the log. I found my phone sending and receiving packets through kernel.
I have uploaded the screenshots with this. Please have a look and tell me is this normal or if it isn't, what to do?.
Also, before unlocking the lock screen shows some messages as in the screenshot. But, after unlocking there is no such messages exist.
Please help.

As you can see, the first 4 are unresolved, hence there is no domain linked to the IP.
The last 2 do have a domain linked, but I'm have no idea if they are used for malicious stuff.
But like shadowcore said, shouldn't you be more concerned about where you got this infection from?
After resetting and reinstalling a new rom, there are little places left for a logger/malicous-app to have been hiding.
What you could do is install OSMonitor. This is yet another logging app, but it provides you with a list of all the current running processes and connections, with the option to watch it, or kill it. Maybe you can use this to filter out any loggers still on running your device. You can find it on the Play Store.
You can also restrict networktraffic with AFWall+, which is a firewall app. It takes some time to configure, but it does wonders.
Also: Unclefab has written a really good tutorial about securing your phone, in a multitude of ways.
It's here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/security/tuto-how-to-secure-phone-t2960077

Traffic through the kernel is normal see:

You should probably install afwall+ to restrict internet access to some apps.

[Q] Spoof MAC Address on HTC M8 5.0 Lollipop?

Does anybody know how to change the MAC address on an M8 running 5.0? I'd appreciate any help you can give me.
I'm trying to change my phone's MAC address so that I can spoof a "Nintendo Zone" hotspot and get some of the freebie-goodies for my 3DS from home. The process is pretty straight forward (Make a hotspot, name it "attwifi", change the MAC to something Nintendo uses, get goodies.), but I'm having trouble getting the MAC address changed. Most tutorials have you use a terminal emulator with busybox to change it via command, or a hex editor to change the MAC address in a specific file, but I've not had any luck with either approach. Even the apps on the Play Store seem to fail. My guess is that it has something to do with Lollipop likely changing how MAC addresses are stored and used.
I've tried just about everything I could find, and am running out of ideas as well as ways to phrase the question to google to try looking this up myself. If anybody could tell me how to do this, or give me some pointers, that'd be great.
Also, in case it needs to be said: I am rooted, and unlocked with busybox installed.

Wow. I have the exact same issue. I also have a M8 running ViperOne with Android 5.0.1
Tried every app from the play store. Most say the MAC Address has been changed but that doesn't appear to be the case.
I want to connect to the Router at my workplace. I took the MAC address from the laptop that can connect to it and tried it in a few apps that can spoof it on my phone but none work.
I'd love some assistance with this as well.
Thanks in advance.

Perhaps now, 6 months later, there is a solution? anybody?
