I'm wondering whether I can tether with FoxFi and have the traffic go through a VPN connection set-up using the stock VPN client. Does anyone have experience with such a set-up?
Your stock vpn on you computer?
I meant the stock VPN Android configuration. Basically I'm wondering whether the following works:
- set-up VPN on my S6
- start fox-fi
- associate laptop with S6's AP
- browse the web from laptop through VPN
I'm concerned that the fact that fox-fi needs to play with the VPN settings messes things up.
You would have to tell your computer and all your programs?, to us foxfi's proxy server. Would be easier to run a good vpn on your computer.

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?
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?
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.
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.
Hello all,
I am trying to route all of my Android traffic through a VPN and then afterwards through a proxy.
I tried several methods to get this to work:
1. USB Tethering and Windows laptop mobile hotspot
I tried to use the connection of my laptop where I configured VPN and Proxy connection with proxifier through USB tethering and mobile hotspot on my laptop. Unfortunately my smartphone (Huawei Nova 2i) is only using the normal wifi connection, not the connection through proxifier, even though I set all system proxification within Proxifier.
2. Proxydroid
I tried to achieve this by using ProxiDroid. Unfortunately I can´t unlock the bootloader of my Huawei phone. If there is no way to do this with an unrooted phone, I would buy a new phone. It would be nice if there is an option to do this with an unrooted phone.
3. Mozilla addon
I could install an addon for mozilla to set a proxy connection there. I did not do this, because this would only work for the browser and I want it system wide.
3. OpenVPN + SandroProxy
This is the best option in my opinion, but I did not figure out how to do it properly. The idea is to use OpenVPN as a system wide VPN. All traffic would be routed through the VPN. Then in the next step I would route the traffic of OpenVPN through my proxy network.
This should work somehow I think, but I did not figure out how. Any information on how to achieve this setup would be welcome.
Best regards
