Hi, I hope this is the best place for my question.
I need to use my Galaxy Note+ to connect to my company´s VPN trough OpenVPN Client. Everything is working fine with the connection, etc. But, to use my company resources I need to add a static route on Android, because my VPN IP address is on a different IP range from the work network IP range. I am the first one to use OpenVPN with this purpose in my company and I´ve been searching on Google with no success for this case. Is there a way to solve this?
usually, the route was push by the server openvpn, perhaps hou can ask your administrator to modify it

Hey guys!
On my long and lonesome journey through the Internet, I am on the hunt for an android, cisco compatible vpn client, I realized, that a lot of open source linux-vpn-clients that are cisco compatible often require the kernel tuntap-module.
So, as I'd like to try to crosscompile vpnc (or any other vpn-client) I have to check that the tuntap-module is supported by htc dreams android linux.
I was not able to find enough information about that, so my simple question to you:
Is there a tuntap mod for android?
Thanks for your help!

VPN on android
Firstly, if you have debian set up it's easy to use vpnc from there. You just install vpnc ("apt-get install vpnc"), load the tun module ("modprobe tun"), setup your profile in /etc/vpnc/YourProfileNameHere.conf, and connect: "vpnc YourProfileNameHere". Then just "vpnc-disconnect" to terminate the daemon. This works great and if you want you can always run a proxy in debian, and connect to localhost from an app in android. However, for a better solution, I saw this on the forum, although I've not got around to trying it out yet myself:

Anyway, the first method most certainly works with my the Cisco VPN server my company uses. I'd imagine the second way will too, and would be all nice and native.
Hope this helps
Has anyone looked at some type of IPSec VPN application? We use a Cisco VPN Concentrator that would make an awesome addition to this phone. I had the BlueFire VPN on my Windows Mobile phone which made connecting to routers/switches and servers on the go awesome.
Any ideas? I'm not a strong linux person, nor am i a programmer so unfortunatly i can' go an write my own

I live in China where many google servers are blocked.
On my ubuntu pc, I use dnsmasq to re-direct all google servers to a Google China server which is located in China and is not blocked. It works fine.
But I don't know how to do it on android. I found in some apps, such as android-wifi-tether, they do use dnsmasq as dns and dhcp server, but I don't know how to configure it for my purpose.
Is there an office release of dnsmasq or similar thing specially built for android system? and the installation and configuration guide?
any advice would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, I use samsung galaxy tab, latin version.
Hi, Guys I am using OpenVPN Connect and I found it quite useful.
These are some important things that I must share with you right here:
First, OpenVPN Access Server
Second, Community
Third, Private Tunnel VPN
It rarely happened that it made my Android smartphone heavier and you will find it helpful too.
I'm not sure which forum to ask this and hope I'm not ot here.
Although I've used Windows and android for a long time, I've not yet dabbled with VPNs. So I did a lot of reading and remain somewhat confused about implementation.
My netgear router has an option to install openvpn and my question is not about that. If I install openvpn on the router, do I still need one of the many VPN apps on my phone? Or is openvpn its own vpn and does not require the monthly cost of another vpn app or the security risks of a free vpn Android app?
I hope I clearly explained my confusion....
You can use OpenVPN Client. There are many clients available but this one works well.
Thanks.
