I want to use PPTP vpn connection to my work together with Remote Desktop (Teminal Service) application.
The PPTP vpn connection is established successfully.
From my work PC I can ping the pptp ip address of my PPC.
However if I switch to an application which would generate internet traffic (such as terminal services, internet explorer) my PPTP connection drops.
On my vpn server I get the logs and see the disconnect reason as "user requested)
What is the problem ?
Thanks...
hi,
I guess nobody has such experience with vpn connections.
where can I find information about this problem ?
thanks
Hi, I have the same problem more or less
see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291208
I have the same problem when trying to use Skype. My office also requires the use of a VPN (PPTP) when connecting via the wifi.
Skype connects, I can make calls, but the connection is dropped after 30s (the VPN is closed). Oddly enough, it I have the impression I prevent the VPN connection from dropping by using Pocket Internet Explorer at the same time (I have tried creating a website that automatically refreshes every 10s, but this didn't keep the VPN open). The Messaging client als shows odd VPN behaviour: it always closes the VPN, and opens it every time send/receive is selected.
I suspect not all programs keep the VPN open, even despite the fact that those programs are generating traffic over the connection.
Any hints or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

MarsRover: I have changed the AlwaysOn registry setting in the registry (in the folder of my work vpn). Ii appears to have changed the Messaging behaviour (but I need further testing to be sure). Tomorrow I'll see if it changed the Skype connection.
Thanks for the suggestion, if it works it ought to be put in the FAQ.

Hi,
MarsRover,
I couldn't understand the solution. Can you explain ?
My situation is :
I am using Wifi connection to access internet. This connection is selected as my internet connection.
My pptp vpn connection is set under my Work connection.
So when I use the pptp connection I connect to Work over Internet.
But then it gets dropped if I open internet explorer.
If I set "*/*" to my intranet addresses, I have to connect to everywhere over my VPN connection. This is not good because I don't want to use VPN connection for Web browsing etc.
There must be another way ? Don't you think so ?
Btw, if I set AlwaysOn to "1" in registry , and then check it back after a connection is made, I see it is "0" again.
Hi
You do not have to redirect all traffic through the VPN you can pick and choose under settings>connections>advanced>exceptions just add the urls you need. ie so instead of */* use the specfic range ie 10.0.0.*/* or whatever range your work uses. One more issue however if the wirless ip range overlaps the internal VPN work range you may still have isssues. ie if your wireless ip address range is 10.0.0.x and your vpn range is 10.0.0.x then even if you add 10.0.0.*/* in the exceptions it may still try the wireless link rather than the vpn link for your TS etc. If you get my drift. There is a discussion on this here:

Thank you Stephen.
In fact, I am aware of how the exception list works. I can add the IP addresses which I want to reach via work vpn.
However, I still wish that there was a way to use VPN connection manually without using an exception list.
Isn't this possible ?

This is good for me because I DO WANT to use VPN for all network access.

where can I find it ?
does it connect to cisco vpn concentrator / ASA ?
there is also AnthaVPN from AnthaSoft but it's not very reliable.
PPTP
Bluefire seems to work fine with IPSec, but I need PPTP (IPSec requires NAT-T in most cases with GPRS/3G).
Hi,
I have configured 2 modems in my connection settings to access the internet.
One uses the fast internet access point and the 2nd one is based on the WAP access point that also gives HTTP access to the internet. Both are based on 3G.
Now the WAP access is unlimited so i want to use it most of the times for programs that use HTTP (weather updated, internet browsing, RSS feeds), sync with exchange, etc.
Some programs do not work with the WAP access point and only connect through regular internet access (like: gmail mailbox, fring, etc.).
My question:
Is there a way to configure the connection modem applications will use?
Or is there a way to select on demand which connection to use when internet connection is needed?
or is there any 3rd party SW to help me?
Thanks, Ori.
Hello,
I want to connect to my Company's VPN and read my e-mails.
My Company uses a Nortel Contivity switch to which I successfully connected with Bluefire Mobile Security VPN v2.7.5, Build 706 (IKE=DES+MD5+DH1; IPsec=3DES+MD5+LZH+PFS; NAT traversal active), using a cellular HSDPA connection. Now comes the bad part: I cannot configure Outlook to use the Exchange server nor the IMAP or POP servers (I tried with Flexmail 4 but with the same results) - it always say that the servers are not accessible. As far as I could figure it out, it seems that after the tunneling is operational, Outlook or any other software still tries to access the internet through the cellular connection (I tried to traceroot some addresses and it ALWAYS goes through the cellular line (not the tunneled connection).
What would be the correct settings in my connection manager so I could access the my Company's Exchange / POP / IMAP servers after I setup the VPN manually with Bluefire?
Thanks a lot!
DO you work for VZ ?? i too would like to connect to my vpn network ... I spoke to our techsupport and advised that wasnt possible ...just for bllackberry ... which i found odd ... i would be interested tofind out how to also

I am trying to force web traffic over a SSL VPN (CheckPoint SecureClient Mobile) through an internal proxy server but am not having any success. Has anyone done anything similar to this before?
From the mobile itself I am able to telnet to the proxy on the desired port once the VPN has been established but Pocket IE keeps popping up the error:
Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings tap Settings.
I've definied the proxy in the Work Network profile and set that profile to be used for both Programs that connect automatically to the Internet... and to a private network......
If I change the setting Programs that connect automatically to the Internet.... back to My ISP then Pocket IE goes directly to Internet
Any ideas on how to make PIE realise that it is connected to a VPN and attempt to use the proxy?
Thanks
Jon
User Opera.. I never had an issue with a pretty similar setup.
Hello,
I'm looking for sofware, which can act as a http(s) proxy server working on WM(sort of a 'SQUID' for WM).
My intention is to use it with internet sharing as I have 2 uplinks(faster LAN, but severely filtered + slow internet sharing on the device with full access).
The goal is to set up a proxy running on local adapter of internet sharing(192.168.0.1) so I can set this to desktop firefox(foxyproxy plugin) using wildcards(ex. Default->go by LAN, *.youtube.com -> go by 192.168.0.1).
Does any application for this exist? All attempts to search gave me only hints how to set proxy client on wm, not the server.
