I've got a PPTP VPN set up on my home router that works fine for my Samsung Note 2 phone (4.1.1). I can connect, browse the network at home, and access files etc.
When I set up the client on my tf300(cm 10.1/android 4.2), I can connect to the VPN, but I cannot browse the network at home, and it disconnects from the pptp VPN server within a few minutes. The server side shows a connection for about 45 seconds, then shows no connection from the tf300, but the client device, the tf300, shows that it is still connected.
I thought it might be a ROM issue, so I I tried loading the new PA ROM, but I still experience the same issue.
On the router side, I'm using tomatousb's build in PPTP VPN server.
Anyone else have this issue?

Hey so I rooted my Nexus 5 recently and pretty soon after I noticed that I can't connect to my main computer on my LAN. I use apps like airdroid and it refuses to connect over LAN mode and goes to remote mode. If I use terminal and busybox to send out pings, I can ping my router, along with most other devices on the LAN, but just not this computer. Firewall is turned off for testing purposes. I use apps like XBMC remote almost daily so this is become sort of a nuisance. I had a Galaxy Nexus before and it didn't have any of these problems. Any ideas?
I dug out my Galaxy Nexus and tried it again. Same issues. So I'm chalking this up as more of a network issue than a device issue. Still, anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?
Sorry for the triple post guys. I solved the problem though. Turns out it was just my ****ty Telus all-in-one router acting up and was refusing to forward packets to my computer. Rebooted it and all is good again. Suppose this thread can be closed if that's something you guys do here.
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.
Anyone else having VPN connectivity issues with their S8+ ?
My AC88 Router hasPPTP & OPENVPN setup fine, I can access via my PC, Note 3 etc VPN & also Subscribed VPN to Europe, Americas & Asia etc without a problem.
On my S8+ it is only my routers OPENVPN via Openconnect App is working, I can neither access PPTP or Subscribed VPN. Always says in logs Authentication Failed. ( Yes I have redid the credentials to be simpler to still no avail & redid on other devices which work fine )
Am I missing some kind of security or lock mechanism on the S8+ ? Is the OpenVPN messing with the PPTP somehow?I can't seem to find any other info at this time.
Any advice is much appreciated.
Thank you.
Ditto
I'm having the same issue. VPN works fine on laptop and S5 but not on S8. EXACT SAME settings on both.
I have PPTP IPSec and OpenVPN configuration working on my S8+ 955FD. There weren't any additional settings that I am aware of.

I have a Synology NAS running an L2TP/IPSec VPN Server. All my clients have a stable connections, including iPhones and other Android phones. My Pixel 3 is the only Pie 9.0 device.
VPN will connect on the Pixel 3, then disconnect after 2 minutes. If I enable Always On VPN, it will reconnect every 2 minutes and I'll pick up the next available IP address in the pool, going back and forth between IP's.
I've performed all basic troubleshooting, including resetting the device to factory defaults. I have even tried lowering the MTU on the Server and it does not resolve the issue.
I've also opened a ticket with Google and sent them a bug report, awaiting to hear back.
Is anyone else experiencing VPN disconnections?
The exact same thing happens to me. When I had the original Pixel the VPN would work correctly. Now with the Pixel 3 it will connect, but will disconnect after about 90 seconds. The VPN system I am connecting to is a Ubiquiti (ubnt) USG device.
Do you have Adaptive Battery enabled? If so, try turning it off.

That did not work for me, unfortunately.
Don't know if this is directly relevant or helps you, but I tested PIA VPN connecting to their servers on my Pixel 3 and it works fine with no drops or disconnects.

Yes, I'm positive it's the new Pixel 3, not the L2TP/IPsec VPN running on my Edgerouter-X. My former Pixel 2 connects and stays connected. My Asus Zenpad and my new Microsoft Surface stay connected. Both Pixels are running the same Android version. It sure seems hardware related. I'm extremely keen to hear Google's answer and fix for this.

I've been using L2TP/IPSEC IKEv1 with PSK (Meraki VPN server) for work on my Pixel 3 and I've not experienced any connectivity issues. The longest I've kept the VPN active so far has been about 3 hours (by choice).

Ok, I'm not quite so positive it's the Pixel 3, but I still can't explain the behavior of the other devices working with the VPN and my Pixel 3 not. The router/vpn server itself? maybe I guess. I still remain frustrated.
HI!
I have the same problem with VPN. It disconnects after 2 minutes, either on WiFi or 4G. I'm using a Ubiquiti USG and it's set up as L2TP/IPsec PSK.
At work I use Fortigate firewall with a L2TP/PSK but it works flawlessly.
I don't know what the problem is.
Pixel 3 VPN Problems
I'm also experiencing trouble with a L2TP/IPSec VPN Server on my Pixel 3. It worked fine on my OnePlus 3 and works fine on my desktop. On the Pixel, it connects and works at first, but after about 90 seconds it stops receiving bytes. It still shows as connected and continues showing bytes sending, but I lose all connectivity. I can disconnect and reconnect and it will work again for around 90 seconds.
I'm having the same issue. All settings are the same as my Note 8. I used to keep vpn on for 6 hours at a time on the Note with no issue, but for some reason the Pixel is randomly disconnecting after a few minutes.
At first I thought it had to do with the screen turning off, but I extended the screen sleep time and I am still experiencing the same issue.
I'm using an Unifi USG as well.

So it seems that USG VPN has a problem with pixel 3. I have USG too and suffer VPN disconnects after 90 seconds. I'm using also a IPSec Xauth PSK VPN for work in a Fortigate firewall and no issues.
I think that if Google doesn't solve the problem, I will have to change VPN on USG from IPSec to PPTP until there is a solution.
By the way, I talked to Google support to explain the problem and they say that do not give support to VPN connections.

Have you been able to successfully stay connected while using PPTP on the USG? If so, I will do that as well.
I'm trying in a few minutes. I'll keep you informed.

Hi again!
I've just changed config in USG from IPSec to PPTP and it's working without disconnects.
I don't know if the problem was Ubiquiti or Google related, but anyway it's working.

Awesome, I just did the same and seems to be running fine. I hate using PPTP just out of principle because I know its insecure, but there's nothing I'm doing that is that secret anyway. Mostly just trying to get around the company firewall so I can use wifi to stream Pandora.
Since it was working fine on my Note 8 and just stopped working with the Pixel, I am tempted to blame Google rather than Ubiquiti.
Yes. I think the same. I don't like PPTP because of security, but I'm using it at home and I think that I'll have to use PPTP until Google fixes it.
And if you call support, Google says that they don't give support for VPN. ****.
