Why my PPTP VPN works on WiFi but fail on 3g?
I'm with Rogers. Do they block PPTP VPN on their networks?
I have a X10a rooted on R2BA023.
Any one else got that problem? Any solutions?
Thanks,

I'm not sure what software you're using for VPN as I necer VPNd from a mobile phone.
I guess one of the reasons could be 3G and WIFI use different adapters.
try setting the adapter name manually if the VPN software has that possibility
PS: just an idea.
I use the built in android VPN under Settings, Wireless control, VPN settings, no adapter nothing to configure, I guess it's a bug from the root... I'll try a non rooted firmware some day ...
Check with rogers. I know telus has a vpn plan. More than likely rogers does too.

Rogers uses a proxy for mobile data. By default they block PPTP and force you to pay extra if you want to use VPN. I get around this by using a remote desktop to my home server and then running the VPN connection from there.

You just need to call rogers to open the VPN for you. Free and 1min thing.
They block the vpn by default.
It took them 4 peoples and 58 minutes to offer me the "Public IP Package" at $5 per month that will enable the PPTP VPN over 3g ...
I hate Rogers...
fix you APN first, here I'm with rogers aswell

My APN is configured the right way. They just want us to pay $5 per month to be able to use VPN over 3g network...
Did they lower it to $5?? I still pay $10 bucks/mth for that! Crooks.. did not update automatically when they lowered the price. I have to call I guess...
BTW - same with TELUS - public IP is $5 bucks if you want no NAT on your connection.
PPTP they block. But IPSec they do not block and if your firewall/vpn supports NATed connections you can connect even without the public IP package. However that's if you tether via PC. Android does not have true ipsec vpn client to my knowledge

Hi all,
I've been searching high and low for any help on using OpenVPN on my Rogers TyTN. Does anyone have experience with this? I cant connect via Wifi or GPRS and cannot seem to access my TAP device (never loads??).
Any help please!
Thanks.
Are you using the "basic" (standard?) GPRS/3G access point node (APN)? If you're connecting to internet.com, then you are and VPN apps (including the one built into WM) won't work. You need to call Rogers and up your data service to the "VPN" level. The APN for this is vpn.com. It will cost you $10 per month over and above what you're paying for data now.
Basically the difference is this: The internet.com APN is behind a NAT gateway (firewall). The IP address you get is a private address. Some ports (e.g. Port 47 needed for all VPN protocols) are blocked. The vpn.com APN is connected directly to the Internet and the IP address you get is a public Internet address. Lastly, no ports are blocked.
Hope this helps.

Hi everyone,
I've tried just about everything I can think of, and no matter what I do, I can't get VPN to work over Wifi (on a P4000, which is the Canadian version of the Mogul/Titan). Does anyone have any experience/success with this?
I've tried searching the forums too, but couldn't locate a post on this topic. I can't be the only one wanting to use VPN over wifi?
Many thanks!
No I have not had any luck either. It also seems that you can not access the VPN using the phone as modem. It will allow you to securely connect, but when you try to link up with your computer, it gives an error message regarding an unidentifiable IP address. Sopmeone help!!!
I found this - http://securenet.niu.edu/vpnpptpwinmo5.shtml
It seems to be a weird workaround, definitely not convenient to connect. But, it doesn't actually connect for me. It starts the connection process, and I then get a username/password error or a "disconnected by the other party". So, it doesn't work.
Has anyone tried a 3rd party VPN client such as Bluefire VPN? http://www.bluefiresecurity.com/products/vpn/
It's quite expensive, though! 70$! We shouldn't have to pay for something that in theory, Windows Mobile already includes.
I didn't know that windows had it's own VPN installed in the OS so I actually have Bluefire installed. I had it on my Palm so it didn't cost my anything to switch the license over to my Titan. It works fine or me using Wi-Fi, EVDO, or 1x.
Telus blocks vpn access unless you have a VPN bundle, which costs 5$ i believe. I had to add it to mine. Other then that, i use openvpn talking to my router, works great

You have to pay to use VPN over Wifi? For cell-data, I'd understand, but I don't see how they can require us to pay to use our own WiFi networks.
I'm able to get the VPN to attempt to connect, however it always reports a username/password error.
I checked out openVPN but couldn't find a link for a Windows Mobile version. Can you post the link?
just type openvpn ppc into google, its the first result. As for vpn over wifi, i red it wrong, i was thinkin evdo
successful VPN over WiFi
You can successfully get on VPN through WiFi. GO to your VPN client click on connection entries drop menu at the top, then click modify, go to transport tab, and click to check the box enable trasport tunneling. Once you do this save it and you should be able to access it. I was successful.

I have a 6800 with Verizon and I attend Penn State at the main campus. We have group authenticated VPN security for our on campus wireless. I downloaded BlueFire mobile VPN because it has group authentication capabilities. I connect to the Penn State wireless and then connect with the VPN client, however I notice that my phone calls the 777 number to access the VPN server for some reason, even though I have wireless. I messed around with connection settings, but got no results. My issue with this is that I don't have any data plan because I don't want to pay for it and the data call eats up my minutes.
Does anyone know how to properly set up the connection settings so that I don't pour money into Verizon's pockets?
Also, I don't think this is possible but I might as well ask... is there any way to use the VPN software included with WM to connect to group authenticated VPN servers?
Any clues?
Have you tried turning off data connection?
on WiFi...
This happens on my Thunderbolt, Transformer, and on my wife's iPhone. Stock roms and custom roms, it doesn't matter. Once I put the device back on the cellular network (I tether the Transformer)the services are able to connect. This issue occurs in the official Google apps as well as the web browser.
My home network is powered by a D-Link DIR 825, DNS points to the router @192.168.0.1
The router is able to resolve youtube.com and other google services.
Windows PC's are able to access affected services.
For some reason when I'm on my Android devices they don't play well on my WiFi network. I had the same issue occur with my MBP 2011 model. My solution was to force google dns server.
Unfortunately my D-Link doesn't give me the option to manually configure the DNS server being sent through DHCP. So I can't force just the DNS server on the Android / iOS devices. Any idea's or thoughts on what's going on?
Again, I can ping youtube.com from the router and below is more info on my ISP.
Telemedia Solutions hosted by Washington County Rural Telecommunications
DSL Service
6Mbps down 768k up
Located in Southern Indiana
Again, once devices are moved to the mobile network I have no issues. WiFi at my work works just fine during the day for my Android devices. I have cleared data / cache for the browser and youtube apps in Android.
Any thought's or suggestions?
You say the devices work fine at work, di you have to set a static IP address for them at work?
If yes, then have you made sure to switch back to DHCP when you are at work? (assuming your home network runs DHCP?)

No, I dont run static IP's at work.
I'm the network administrator and manage the wireless network at work so thankfully I have control over the design and layout of our wireless networks.
The network consists of Cisco serise WLC 5500 with Cisco 1141 AP's. The wireless network is a WPA2 Enterprise network.
DNS is handled by our AD server.
I almost questioned my home ISP DNS but if the router can resolve the IP then it should be able to resolve for any host requesting that information. I'm wondering if these Unix like devices (Android, iOS, OS X) are trying to resolve or handle the resolution process differently.
Again, Windows resolves the domain just fine. I may check configurations files to see the order of name resolution.

To clarify.
Router IP on my end 192.168.100.64

ISP dns is 137.118.1.33(secondary dns for router)

I ran a packet capture from the tablet and every time it tries to resolve the name the tablet receives a Reset response.
54 Domain [RST, ACK]
I'm even more pissed...aparently I can resolve the name if I do a ping youtube.com in the terminal emulator. I can't access the app or website however...but it works on PC's.
I'm wondering if it's outdated firmware on my router. Unfortunately this piece of $hi7 D-Link refuses to accept the upgraded firmware.
Performed a factory reset on the router.
Setup a quick and dirty wireless network and still couldn't access google services from it.
I attempted to upgrade the firmware again with the system freshly reset and it was still a no go. I'm thinking of ditching this POS router.
This may be a long shot but can you try setting your router ip as 192 168 0 1, then your phone as 192 168 0 2. Mine had troubles on higher ip ranges
Sent from my Nexus S
I did a packet capture from the phone and tablet and this is what I see.
Packet 15 - DNS query for youtube.com
Packet 16 - DNS response with the IP address
Packet 17 - A TCP Packet is sent to the router on port 53
Packet 18 - A TCP Packet is received with the [RST, ACK] flag set.
Then I see this pattern as I was hitting refresh over and over. The connection is getting reset for some reason.
Reading D-Link forums it appears that some people have issues with this router "blocking" some websites. I think it's simply an issue of $hi77y firmware and unfortunately I can't upgrade it. I've verified my downloads, followed the directions to the T, but it will not accept the firmware.
Well I upgraded to a Linksys E2000 with DD-WRT firmware and everything works fine

Hi All,
I successfully set up the VPN to access the network of the company I work for, mainly to check emails on the go (3G - Vodafone UK).
The VPN does connect, but when it comes to visit our internal website there is no way to make it work - the page just doesn't load (but VPN is still connected). Same thing for emails - I can't set up an email account (email server is in the private network).
Suggestions?
My colleague on iPhone (Vodafone) and Galaxy S (Orange) have no problems.
Thanks!
I have never managed to get pptp vpn to work on any android so I would love to hear of a solution. Vpn remains connected but no browsing possible. I have heard that on unencrypted vpns it works.

A long time ago - roughly 2.5 years I had trouble with Cisco ipsec vpn profiles on vodafone.
Basically they would never work on vodafones network but would work on t-mobile etc
After extensive research it turned out to be NAT related.
What I ended up doing was setting up the profiles on a server, enabling split tunnelling in the profile on the ASA and RDPing to the server then tunneling from there.
VPNs through a Virtual Machines on my laptop when using the phone in AP mode do now work though and have done for the last year.

Quick update:
The VPN actually works great over wi-fi. I can connect in a second and browse whatever I want. On 3G either doesn't work or it is really slow so that the page times out (hard to tell).
I am confused, is it device or network related?
I wouldn't like to touch the server, even because it works with iPhones on O2 and Vodafone itself! And Vodafone obviously is bouncing me to Samsung.
I suspect that the Galaxy Note has some sort of bottleneck somewhere.
Is dropping from H+ to 3G an issue when connecting on VPN?
I can connect successfully using vpn both to my work, and another site, both using PPTP vpns.

Ralphmartin,
Do you connect over mobile internet?
Which phone do you have?
Update for Vodafone customers on Android.
Ask Vodafone to activate the Mylan access point. The only downside is that you wont be able to use any internet beyond the VPN.
Annoying, but at least something.
