Hello,
I'm not having much luck accessing the internet while my VPN is turned on. It's just a simple mesh network from logmein and I like it because I can ssh in to my raspberry pi to turn my PC on without opening up ports on my home network.
Let me know if any one else has had this problem/ they know a solution. Personally, i've never had any trouble on my Nexus 7, or my Galaxy Nexus with using the internet while staying connected to my VPN but both of those are using stock versions of android also.
Thanks in advanced.

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.
Hi,
I have been using GMote and droid VNC server on mobile for sometime. All this time, since I had one PC, I used my PC to setup a portable AP and connected my mobile with it.
Now, I switched to using DLink DSL-2640B WiFi router and since then am having issues with the remote apps. They don't work or they just work and disconnect quickly. What is wrong?
Am sure it's not about port forwarding or port triggers since I can connect. It's like the connection is very unstable although I have good signal. Does it have something to do with QoS? Anybody? Any ideas?
Hey for those who use their SNS on open wifi hotspots, do you use a VPN? If so, which free service do you use? I want to encrypt my connection using the built in VPN menu under the Wireless settings.
I'd like to use Hotspot Shield but I think that only works for iPhones. I found these, has anybody used them before?

None of the free one's I have tried have been very good. If an always on computer back at your house is a possibility and you have some mild technical skills you can roll your own VPN with OpenVPN and get something that works very well for cheap/free.
Hmm, that's a good idea. Never even thought of that. I don't have a computer that runs 24/7 though. I'm thinking of doing it router side as I found this: http://tomatovpn.keithmoyer.com/

I hope someone can help me out on configuring remote desktop client to connect to my PC.
I am intending to TF my tablet by bluetooth/wifi from my iPhone.
I currently have Remote Desktop on my TF and I am able to connect it successfully using my home wifi.
However, I have problem connecting, when I am using other connection.
I hope someone can really help me with this.
Thanks.

It sounds like the connection that is not working is probably blocking port 3389, which is the default port used for RDP. It's very common for public wifi networks to restrict ports including those used for remote desktop. Unless you know that other people are using this connection sucessfully for remote desktop, I would not assume that it's a problem with your tablet.
Or it's your router blocking remote desktop connections. Have you enabled port forwarding on your router?
On a side note, do you really want remote desktop open to the whole world? You should look into a VPN setup...
i believe there are users who are able to connect to the desktop from their office and school.
There was a thread on that apps and people are doing that. I tried asking for help, but I can't seem to figure it out.
Hence, I am putting this to the ground, and hope more forumers would be able to help

I think I did not do any port forwarding for my router, as it wasn't necessary.I don't why, and my BitComet is getting 2 green lights and able to hook up to remote connection. Previously, I need to setup port forwarding for my previous router.
I didn't know remote desktop is so vulnerable! In that case, I'll try to look up on VPN setup, before coming back here to ask question again.
Thanks.

Hi,
I use my hostel lan to access internet from my notebook using a regular cat5e cable using a proxy address.
Problem is, when i use my laptop as a wifi hotspot, my phone reads the signals, but is unable to avail the internet facilities.
I have a motorola defy plus running gingerbread, unrooted.
Is it because of the proxy? Can anyone suggest anything to overcome this issue?
Thanks in advance
