If I root my Magic will I be able to install a 'normal' Linux app on it, like Cisco VPN client? If I do that is it a trivial process to create an icon to launch my app, or am I in the realms of reading the SDK documentation?
Android is a very specialized Linux version so I doubt you can just install the Cisco VPN client without some heavy hacking. It is probably trivial to create an icon, I don't know.

So I now have a rooted RC33 and the handy little command line ssh (as well as connectbot). Now the only thing I need is a vpn client.
Certainly vpn clients exist for linux, so it should be possible to compile one to work on the G1, no?
I'm looking for a vpn client that works with the cisco vpn 3000 endpoint. Not sure of the details beyond that.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
UPDATE: did some further poking around. I think what I want is a command-line linux ipsec vpn client that could be compiled to run on the g1. If I could find some open-source client and figure out how to build it for the g1, that would be great Who can point me to a tutorial for that?
Oh, I see that someone smarter than I is working on it:

My phone is really like a small computer (HTC Advantage x7510) and I would really like to be able to connect it to my company's corporate VPN. A typical windows/mac/linux client connects with Cisco's AnyConnect software, and while Cisco released a version of AnyConnect with the iPhone, they didn't for Windows Mobile 6.1. The problem as I understand it is that Windows Mobile natively supports PPTP and L2TP/IPSec connections while the Cisco implementation wants pure IPSec. The authentication scheme that we use is certificate based and then user/pass based. I created a user certificate on my desktop and then exported it to a .pfx (PKCS #12 Container) file and then imported it on my mobile device.
I have tried The Green Bow, but I have been unable to get this to work... The app seems rather buggy and I can't even save off the log properly to find out why it isn't working.

Bluefire seemed like it would do the trick, but after I tell it what Certificate to use and click Finish, it tosses out an error: "An internal error has occurred while processing your request. Please contact the system administrator". It appears that Bluefire Security has disappeared, at least from the web.
Anatha VPN seemed like it would be an option, however the UI seems buggy because I can't get the dropdowns to work in the configuration (using any DPI setting in realvga). Either the Gateway dropdown or the Gateway Type dropdown do not work... it varies.

Does anyone have a solution? Free or commercial... doesn't matter.
Latest version of NCP VPN works very very well for Cisco IPSec, you can download a trial version which is valid for a few days. not buggy, but commercial....

I am not sure who told you there wasn't a Windows Mobile version of the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client because there is. There are Windows versions, Intel & PowerPC Mac OS X versions, Linux versions and Windows Mobile 5/6 versions available. I can't however see an iPhone version.
The current version for all platforms is 2.3.0254. The release notes are here:

AnyConnect VPN Client is available for WM Pro, but it does not support IPSec...
The Anyconnect from Cisco doesnt work with the concentrators.

No it doesn't. The 3000 series concentrators have been EOL for a while. The AnyConnect client is for use with IOS Routers and ASA Firewalls (plus the PIX but this is EOL as well). You can use the native L2TP/IPSec client in WM5/6 with the 3000 Concentrator though (as you can with IOS & the ASA).

We have a trial mobile agent setup and I have anyconnect installed and configured on my phone. I am able to establish a VPN over HSPDA and I can hit internal web pages via IE, but I am unable to RDP or SSH anywhere. Is anyone using anyconnect and able to do these things?

I know this is really old, but I was looking for some ipsec stuff for home. However I do use AnyConnect for SSL work vpn and I can RDP and SSH just fine.
The AnyConnect SSL Mobile client works great with the ASA 5500's. Does anyone know what it takes to fool the router into thinking a mobile device is not VPN'ing in? You need a Windows Mobile AnyConnect license installed to make the Windows Mobile client connect. We do not own any at the moment and I'm eager to see it work.
Ok I've got my ASA 5510 working perfectly using Windows Mobile and Bluefire IPSec vpn. We normally run SSL Vpn but keep Ipsec open for site to site VPN as well as mobile VPN. I got a quote on Cisco SSL AnyConnect mobile licenses on the firewall and they are $100 a pop. But if you're looking for a great IpSec client that works go with Bluefire...
i am trying to get a cisco vpn client
i use android on my hd2 as main os
just got it working and i am happy...
but they are talking about rooted phones
also need to instal busybox, is that a cab like thing or is it hard to instal?
(i saw it in the market but is that the good one)
if someone have any experience with a cisco vpn client on the hd2 android would love to here from you ^^
Hi,
I had a wild idea... is it possible to run Cisco Anyconnect within a chroot Ubuntu install and then setup the andrioid side of things to route all its IP traffic through to Ubuntu... and then out through the secure tunnel (and vice versa)? Essentially using the chroot Ubuntu as a proxy server for incoming/outgoing vpn traffic.
It seams like this could be quite a light weight solution, or even have vpnc running inside a stripped down lightweight (non-gui) ubuntu.
I'm guessing this might work if NAT is allowed by the vpn server, but I have no idea how to go about doing it... iptable manipulation on both the the ubuntu and android side of things I guess. This all assumes that ubuntu is trully being multitasked and not suspended.... sorry bit of a new comer to android so not entirely sure how it all works yet.
As I say, a wild idea.... no cisco vpn support is a bit of a show stopper for my xoom adoption (note I spent a couple of days trying to get vpnc running but it dies with library issues).
I was under the impression that OpenVPN connected to Cisco Anyconnect devices. If so, someone has that working already:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=972550&highlight=vpn
Cisco IPSEC VPNs are still not working, the tun.ko module in the above link either doesn't work with VPNConnections or VPNConnections doesn't work with the Xoom.
Thanks for the reply!
Yep, I installed OpenVPN and the tun.ko on Saturday... then I hit a brick wall working out how to configure openvpn for my coropoate VPN. I use Cisco AnyConnect on both Linux and Windows to connect to their radius server. My iPhone connects just fine as well.... over IPSEC __with__ a group id.
After doing quite a bit of web searching I came to the conclusion that OpenVPN doesn't work well with Cisco VPN?!? Hence the reason I was looking at vpnc and subsequently wondering about the chrooted linux vpn bridge type solution.

I've gotten OpenVPN to work on my Motorola Droid using VPN connections and a Cisco VPN. You just have to get the configuration settings right but it will work.
Just thought I'd share....
My idea definitely won't work for cisco anyconnect since it is compiled for i386.... kind of stupid of me not to think that one through .
I tried running vpnc in a chroot ubuntu on the xoom and apparently the tun device can't be found. I did an apt-get on openvpn and I see "tun" referenced in various places but for some reason it just isn't setup correcting doing apt-get install in this ubuntu image.
So, unfortunately I think I'll be flashing my poor little xoom back to stock and taking it back :-(. Really wanted to keep this little guy, with all its future potential but with no _easy_ workable cisco vpn solution... and no solid plans (i.e. date!) from google/cisco for supporting IPSEC vpn (with group id) out of the box my dreams of a thin client in meetings are dead. Looks like an iPAD 2 is my best bet, definitely not my first choice but oh well the android is what it is.

Look up ssh tunneling, you could do like you wanted in the first post really easily I bet. The ssh command can be run to tunnel any port or ports you want through another machine very easily. I don't have the setup on hand, but googling ssh tunnel should be enough to get you going.
Hi
I know Android has its own built-in VPN client but I would like to create my own VPN client to connect to our VPN server as I would like to add an extra layer of security on it. Can anyone help me out please?
Maybe just some guide on how to create a VPN profile using the built-in Android client programmatically (of course without accessing the hidden API) or something equivalent? Specifically I want to create a VPN profile with IPSec Xauth RSA Authentication.
