Hi, All
I have a VPN problem that is strange. Here goes:
I have my Nexus One two days ago. It's not rooted and no APK installed on it.
At that time, the VPN worked very well.
Then, I unlocked and rooted it. Then I flashed a Pandora Firmaware. The firmware is here.
://d.epis.me/Pandora%20N%201.1%20for%20nexus.zip
After that, the VPN didn't work. I must wait for a long time after I started to connect, and an error message came out like this: "Can not connect to the server". If I use a wrong password, the VPN will tell me the pssword is wrong. The same VPN server can be connected by same username and password on my laptop, but not Nexus One. It is very strange.
Then I restored the original shipping firmware. It didn't work too. The reply of the VPN is the same as above.
The server is uk.focusvpn.com, and VPN type is PTPP. Encryption type I selected encryped and not encrypted, it didn't work on both.
Now the VPN on my Nexus One is totally broken. Can any good guy help me?
Mods are likely going to move this to a different forum.
If any of the devs want to look at this I'm seeing this also. The VPN Connections app for me to a Cisco Concentrator works fine.
I can't for the life of me get PPTP to work; this may just be a buggy PPTP client in the Nexus One 2.1 build. It works FLAWLESSLY on my G1 with the last CM build. I get a generic message that GRE is not functional; but this is BS - on the same link I can tether my Mac and it works or use the same WiFi On a Windows system or mac and it works. I'm suspecting Google regressed or introduced a bug on 2.1 with PPTP
Cyanogen; or any of the other dev's if you want to "borrow" my PPTP VPN account to debug I'm game to email you the info; PM me. I was going to try this on the emulator and but some debug messages in to see what the specific issue may be...
Yeah. PM me and ill try to fix it for the CM N1 release tomorrow!
is the CyanogenMod also for nexus one?
VPN on nexus (android 2.1)
I noticed on this webpage
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4111
that android 2.1 only support old fashion Authentication Protocols
+ CHAP allowed
+ MSCHAPv1 allowed
But
- PAP disabled
- MSCHAPv2 disabled
- EAP Proxy disabled
i searched around and found no program can hack this to enable the later 3
is it easy to enable the above? anyone here can help to configure it or it actually needs a new development?
Hi,
I'm planning to buy a new phone => HTC Wildfire
At work we use Cisco VPN to connect to internet.
Can the wildfire connect to cisco VPN?
I need wildpuzzle, tun.ko, VPN connections package...?
What do I need and where do I get it?
I apreciate some help.
Thanks
Hello!
I've heard that a app called "VPN Connections" can establish a vpn connection with a cisco vpn client. The only problem is that you must install this app on a rooted device..
I haven't tried it myself (altough my univercity uses the cisco client as well), so don't blame me if it doesn't work!
But I'm sure that there is no app for android that can set up the connection with the cisco vpn connection without the need to root your device. Its the only real handicap of android, from my opinion!
Greetings,
Erwin

Better late than never! I tried "VPN Connections" on CM 6.1 on Wildfire (buzz) and confirm it works. Though I could not find the 'tun.ko' find when I did a "find -iname tun.ko" from "/" on my phone, this app worked (for me).
Hey All,
Just wondering if you all know if Cisco or Google will figure out the whole VPN / Group Name fiasco? I am not sure who or where the limiting factor sits with (Google or Cisco) but it would be really nice if they would support Cisco VPN when using Group Name.
I am pretty sure that was never solved in the 2.x version of Android. If it has, I would love to know!
At least on android 2.X I rooted and used VPN Connections and that allowed to me to connect to my work's Cisco VPN

Either VPNConnections doesn't work right with the Xoom or the tun.ko module that someone compiled for the other type of VPN isn't working right with it for IPSEC. I can't seem to connect using my rooted xoom, though I've done it with every phone I've owned with ease.
You can connect to a Cisco asa using ipsec Vpn with group name on 2.x?

Requires root, a tun.ko module compiled for your kernel installed on your phone and VPNConnections.apk. With those three things, it is easily done. My HTC Aria, Droid 2 Global and Droid X all could connect to our work routers which use Cisco IPSEC VPN with a group name/password.
The only way to get Cisco VPN working right now with the stock VPN client in Honeycomb is to have your firewall configured to allow inbound VPN using the group policy DefaultRAGroup (which is what it will default to when no group name is present).
It took me a few hours to figure it out but have it working on my ASA5505. Can't take credit though... this thread was instrumental in helping me figure out how to get it to go.

Refer to the post by Laurentiu Zibula.
Downside is that you can only get it working if you have full control of the firewall you're connecting to, and buying your network admin at work a six pack of beer isn't going to convince him to try this.

Don't think that will work for non-ASA devices though (i.e. routers).
Have anyone tried connecting to VPN servers on their Galaxy Tab 7.7?
I have tested more than 3 VPN servers. (They all work on PC, iPhone, iPad, Tab 10.1, Tab 8.9, HP TouchPad). When I try to connect them on Galaxy Tab 7.7, it connects successfully but fail to let me do anything once the connection is made.
I have created 2 test accounts and please feel free to test it using them or your own servers... let me know how it go...
BTW, I tried restoring. no help at all.
PPTP Server 1: pptp.vpn2.hk
PPTP Server 2: pptp.vpn2.us

Hi,
for PPTP you'll need kernel 2.6.35.x!
Otherwise you'll be able to get a connection but your data transfer will break down after 5sec-3min!
I will edit this post with a link to "Issue 4706: Droid phone PPTP VPN dying after a short while." after I'm allowed to.

are you saying that i need to upgrade my VPN server to kernel 2.6.35.x just for 7.7? just wondering cos my VPN servers (and many other VPN servers out there that I have tried) work for all other platforms, like Tab 10.1, iPad, Windows, OS X etc etc...
Yes I do. google botched PPTP for VPN.
But you need to upgrade (/downgrade) the kernel of your Android device (client), not the server. Or do you run your VPN server on Android???
You can search for "issue 4706" or "android PPTP VPN problem" and you will find a lot of pi**ed people and maybe some answers like kernel version and needed OS version.
I can confirm that it works with kernel 2.6.35 and since GB2.3.7 / CM7! Some say it works fine with ICS, but I found also that higher kernel versions will not work.
And yes, all other plattforms will work fine with PPTP.

thanks for the info. now for the million dollars question... how do you downgrade the kernel on Android? does this require flashing a new custom ROM? I couldn't really be bothered with custom ROM as I am waiting for the official ICS upgrade notification ... I guess the furtherest I am willing to go is to root my device and install some replacement kernel (if this is even possible)...
I know linux but my main device is an iPad so I am just too lazy to spend too much time backing up / reinstalling the Android for custom ROM... anyway thanks for your time...

Yeah, that's it, BUT I would wait - like you mentioned - for the ICS upgrade and try than again.
Or you try another protocoll like L2TP over IPSec…

L2TP over IPSec was a bit weird too. the server address has to be an internal IP for it to connect, giving it an external IP or domain won't work. God figures! oh well good thing it's not my main device so I won't stress much over it.

You are lucky, my MS2 is my main device and has a locked bootloader and only a 2.6.32 kernel .
I solved the VPN problem by changing to CM7, which wasn't possible for a long time, and using OpenVPN/SSL now.
Lucky me.

mmm... we know how to setup the VPN here. just saying that the VPN never worked on any PPTP servers I tried
I have the 6800 and pptp for me works well over wifi. On mobile, I have the same problem you encountered, meaning while I can connect fine I cannot initiate any data transfer. Hope ICS will fix this problem.

thanks for the info. for me (on the wifi only version) vpn won't work on wifi
I also have the wifi only version, I connect de VPN, works for a while and suddenly stops transfering data althought the connection appears as established. To make it work again i have to disconnect and reconnect.
Just for your info - I got a L2TP VPN connection working just fine on my P6810 Wifi-only Tab. Not sure whether it is just the VPN service (AceVPN) I'm using, or whether I was just lucky.
My wifi tab is an import from HK, Kernal version 2.6.36-P6810ZSLA1

i didn't spend as much time looking into L2TP on mine as my main vpn servers are PPTP based.... mine also came from HK (well i m living in it right now )
hope ICS will be out soon! really want to try chrome

i m the service provider!

i just got a galaxy nexus and everything works fine on it.
as mentioned somewhere above this post. it is a bug in the 7.7 code

the company i am current working also use VPN by setting the IP adress
the concrete operation is a little complicated, you'd better google for help
Good luck
The easiest solution would be to use 3G/4G and thus avoid any filter/proxy that your company WiFi has.
Assuming you don't want to do that, you should try to figure out what kind of VPN you're using. There are 4 main types:
1) PPTP - This one is old but supported in almost every OS natively (including Android). It's easy to setup a server for these using any Pro version of Windows. It's also easy to block.
2) L2TP - This one is more secure but also less supported. This one is also fairly easy to block. I think only Server editions of Windows can create this type of VPN.
3) IPSec - This is your Cisco-type VPNs. These tend to be more difficult to setup on the server side. Depending on how the network is configured this may be blocked too (but less likely).
4) OpenVPN - This is probably your best bet to avoid workplace blocking. You can configure it to use any protocol or port that you want, however it is very difficult to configure for a first time user. There are tutorials available online to help. You'll need an app (and maybe root) to use an OpenVPN-based VPN.
