I have created a L2TP VPN server. I want to use it easily on my phone. I know I can set VPN from Settings--> more --> vpn but it is not my favorite method. Because it is really annoying! I need a free simple application without advertisement to set my L2TP credentials and manage it from the app. The built in vpn configuration is really annoying; when I disconnect wifi I have to connect it manually, if I activate 'always on vpn' it disconnects with my wifi network up and down. I formerly used Psiphon with an HTTP server which I created. I need an app like Psiphon in order to set my L2TP configurations and manage it easily. I installed strongSwan but it does not support L2TP/IPSec PSK.

Hi,
I'm really fed up of entering in my password each time I want to access a VPN. Is it possible to mod Android for this option? Just need some sort of VPN launcher application.
I like to connect to a VPN so I can FTP and VNC to my phone over the internet.
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.
Dear sir
I has android but just use vpn , so i try to set my office VPN up on it. I have the Cisco VPN client set up on my laptop, and here are the settings from it:
Host: vpn.amc.com
Group Authentication
-- Name: AMC
-- Password:xxxxxxx
Transport: Enable Transport Tunneling
-- IPSec over UDP (IPsec/UDP)
Those are really the only options there. Obviously when i connect it has a popup asking for my username and password, and once i enter those, i'm in.
Now on my Droid phone, there are 4 VPN options - PPTP VPN, L2TP VPN, L2TP/IPSEC PSK VPN, and L2TP/IPSEC CRT VPN. i'm pretty sure mine's the PSK (Pre-shared key), so i pick that, and these are the options i have:
VPN Server: (i set this as the host - vpn.amc.com)
Set IPSec Pre-Shared key: (would this be... the password? i thought so, but why does the cisco client have 'name' too?)
Enable L2TP Secret (if checked, it has the option of entering the secret)
and that's it.
I've tried everything, but can't get it to work.
best regards

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.
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.
