I use Wireguard on Android to tunnel to my home network when I'm remote to use my home network's Pi-Hole adblocking. When connected to the VPN though, RCS chat features fail to connect (it just gets stuck "connecting..."). As soon as I disable the VPN the chat features connect successfully. I've googled this is seen that it's a pretty common problem among Android VPN users, but all of the results seems to be about a year old. Has there been any progress on fixing this issue? Is there anyway to exclude Google's connections from the wireguard tunnel?
Interestingly, when I'm at home on wifi while my phone also indicates I'm (apparently) connected to the wireguard VPN (which is redundant since it's tunneling me to the same network network I'm already connected with wifi), chat features actually connect successfully. I only experience connection issues with I'm on LTE/5G...Although, typing this I realize I'm going to need to test it on another (remote) wifi network.
Thanks
Seems like they fixed this finally (I'm cautiously optimistic anyway). Has anyone else noticed the same?

Dear all, I got my new Nexus One, rooted, with recovery ROM and with Modaco Custom ROM installed (without Add-On installed).
I installed also the VPN Connection but I cannot get it to work!
Anyone was succesfully get it to work on N1?
Or any other idea to get a VPN connection with a Cisco concentrator?
thank you
I would like that one as well!
I've installed the VPN connection from the market on top of Cyanogen's Baconmod and it worked the first time. I'm going back to my companies Cisco concentrator also.
I'm using a group password - make sure you set that up correctly... Connects over WiFi or 3G with no issues. I'm not certain if it works well with certificates.
I am unlocked, rooted, RA Recover, and N1 Addon. Once you get all of that setup then go to the market and download "VPN Connections - root".
It should work barring any unforeseen configuration on your work side like TCP vs UDP, connections port changes, or anything else that would be propagated by a configuration file.
But if you unlock, root, and have Cyanogen's N1 Addon you should be fine unless you have a config challenge.

Cisco VPN works but has issues
Nexus is my first Android phone and I just rooted and baconized. I was so conflicted, but I told myself it was inevitable. The phone has been solid for a week and I knew that when the first ROM dropped with multi-touch, I wouldn't be able to resist. Might as well get a head start, right?
First thing I did was install VPN Connections from the Market and setup a connection to my company Cisco ASA. I was totally stoked when I was able to connect and VNC into my office PC. After I was done. I went back into VPN Connections and disconnected from the VPN. My Internet (WIFI) access did not come back. Next I tried disabling the VPN from within the app. No dice. I then forced VPN Connections closed and still no good. I ended up disabling and re-enabling WIFI to get it my net connection back. Is this normal?
networking hosed after disconnecting VPN...
Posted this over in the apps section, before I saw this thread:

Does this program place a .pcf file anywhere on the phone? I have a pcf file from my work VPN, and the options that are in the UI are not quite enough to cover what all I need to enter. I looked all over the place for a pcf file, but couldn't find one. I know that the get-a-robot initial version of this program had one, but I don't know where this new version keeps it (if it does at all).

Cisco VPN
I have a question about Cisco VPN. i've not tried using it on an android phone, because I wasn't sure if the way my company's VPN works is supported. My company uses a token file that needs to be "installed" on the computer for the Cisco VPN. So the question is, would the Cisco VPN solution for Android support this?
Thank you
Using CM beta 4 rom with update from Google and this program FCs when trying to connect to vpn.
Any helpful hints would be great.
not sure on the fc, maybe try another rom/kernel.
i wasn't able to get this to work using any of the cyan roms so i must be doing something wrong.
my vpn works fine with the settings i've used for both vpn client (windows cisco client) and vpnc (fedora linux client) but when i press connect on android it will instantly say failed, is there a log available for this application?
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?
Hi
I'm just making this post as I can't really see any solutions for this.
Let me first explain the situation we're in, we have a bunch of laptops that need access to the internet and this building provides free wifi, YAY. The problem is, the wifi is unstable where we are, randomly doesn't allow computers to connect to it, and drops computers from the network for no reason. The landlord is pretty much unhelpful here, and we're only here for 2 weeks so we're just living with it right now.
I have a contracted phone with unlimited data that I tether with USB to my computer and then run a VPN on the computer which works fine for me, but I want to get the other laptops connected too.
The problem is my phone hasn't got tethering, so as soon as it detects a user agent that corresponds with a desktop based browser, it blocks the data connection until the signal is completely reestablished.
This is even a problem for my laptop as sometimes theres a random HTTP request that blocks the connections before the VPN can connect.
So the solution I really want for this is a VPN to be running on the phone, and then a hotspot to run on the phone. Then the laptops can connect to the phone and theoretically be behind the VPN, so everything can be connected and the connection won't get blocked.
I've tried all the iptables forwarding and masquerade rules to no avail, OpenVPN with "Use default route" to force all routes through the VPN also does not allow any computer on the hotspot to connect to get a data connection.
For more info, the phone is a SGS3 i9300 which is currently running the latest CM10.1 nightlies. The VPN is from HMA.
Does anyone have any suggestions for this?
Thanks for the time.
I think I have this narrowed down to some sort of issue with my home internet or ISP but I'm just not sure.
In short, there are certain apps (Netflix, Amazon Shopping, Amazon Music, to name a few) that won't access the internet when connected to my home wifi.
So far I've:
- Removed and re-added the wireless network.
- Reset network settings
- Factory reset the phone
- Restarted my modem/router and AP's
- Checked to make sure that IPV6 wasn't enabled on my router because that seemed to fix some other Android P related wifi issues.
- Since I use AP's for wireless, not my ISP's router, I turn wifi on directly at the router and connected the phone to it but still had the same issues.
- Shockingly (not) the ISP (Frontier) isn't any help and I don't have another choice.
The main things that make me think it's network or ISP related is 1) when I'm on public wifi or wifi at work, everything operates normally and 2) if while connected to my home wifi I enable my Private Internet Access VPN the apps I mentioned work normally.
I don't have a clue how to further troubleshoot the issue. So if anyone has suggestions, I'd appreciate it.
Hi all, just received my 8T on Friday. I migrated from a Pixel 4XL which was having microphone issues I think. After migration, tried to set up the phone, and I could not get the 8T to connect to my home's WPA2-PSK wifi network to log back into my google account, get OS and app updates, add email accounts, etc. Had to do all that over 4G. Finally discovered by accident that the phone will connect to unencrypted networks like hotspots. Eventually, I run a debug trace on my home wifi infrastructure (Cisco 9130 with embedded wireless controller & other Cisco 3800's) and I can see that the phone connects just fine to "open" network that I created to test with, but as soon as I try to connect to the WPA2 network everything in the house runs on, the entries in the trace stop... meaning the phone isn't even trying to connect to the access point. On the phone, when you click to connect to the secured wifi, you can see the status go from "saved" to "connecting" back to "saved", while the access point sees no connection attempt whatsoever. So it's either software or hardware problem with the phone. Seeing as I've been on at least two different versions of the OS, I suspect hardware.
So my question is this: is anyone else able to connect an 8T to a wifi network that's secured with WPA2 preshared key? Is it just me having trouble? I've been on chat with OnePlus support two different times, now I'm waiting since Sunday for a shipping label for RMA to OnePlus.
Any help greatly appreciated!
