[Q] VPN Dropping? - Xoom General

I have a PPTP VPN setup to allow me to connect my xoom to home in order to use UPnP to stream videos and after about 5 minutes or a certain amount of data is transfered across the VPN, it goes offline. According to the Android system, it is connected, but I can't actually ping anything. If I disconnect the VPN and then re-connect it, it will work again.
I am using a Vyatta Router at home with a PPTP VPN set up and I am not seeing this issue on windows clients that connect.
Am I missing some settings here?

I had the same issue with my Motorola Surfboard Router and I ended up having to reset it to default settings before it started working right.

Sounds alot like a setting on the router. I know some will limit the amount of data that can be Xfer'd through. A good test would be to use another computer away from home. try to do the same thing you are doing on your xoom. If the connection goes nuts then you know its not your xoom.
I have not had any issues with the built in vpn but im always using it via wifi. The 3g is kinda glichy at times.

I am able to use another computer not on my network and everything works fine.
I am connecting to my VPN via wifi.
If I just issue a ping, I see response times around 30ms (to things in the remote network). The ping seems to go on forever until I start trying to use things like browser, xda app, email, scp, etc.
Pptp vpn w/ the encryption option checked (my vpn requires this and I don't want to vpn without it)

Android does not work with encrypted pptp and Google does not seem to care: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4706

I'm inclined to second this, adding that Google is not particularly concerned by serious flaws in the L2TP over IPSec configuration either.
I too can connect my PPTP VPN, but I can't access any resources on my LAN. The VPN client won't even attempt to connect via L2TP over IPSec (the client states that it is connecting, but server logs show nothing).

So what kind of Vpn do I need to set up?

We use an L2TP where I work. PPTP just seems to glich

Sweet, I got this working by setting up an l2tp psk VPN on my Vyatta router... for anyone else doing this, here are the commands I used in Vyatta:
my outer NIC = eth9
my outer IP = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
my outer router = yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
Code:
set vpn ipsec ipsec-interfaces interface eth9
set vpn ipsec logging log-modes all
set vpn ipsec nat-traversal enable
set vpn ipsec nat-networks allowed-network 10.0.0.0/8
set vpn ipsec nat-networks allowed-network 10.0.0.0/8 exclude 10.168.10.0/24
set vpn ipsec nat-networks allowed-network 10.0.0.0/8 exclude 10.168.11.0/24
set vpn ipsec nat-networks allowed-network 10.0.0.0/8 exclude 10.168.12.0/24
set vpn ipsec nat-networks allowed-network 172.16.0.0/12
set vpn ipsec nat-networks allowed-network 192.168.0.0/16

Just to check, you mean just L2TP, not L2TP over IPSec, correct?

Cisco VPN Client?

My university uses the Cisco VPN Client for students to access the wireless network. Is there a Windows Mobile Application that will allow Cisco VPN?
I don't think so but I'm not 100% certain. It would be sweet if there was.
google eduroam securew2, and search you uni it pages.
You can use the inbuilt l2tp/ipsec vpn using certificates assuming they have configured the cisco concentrator at the other end correctly.

HTC TyTNII vpn to a cisco vpn

Hi,
I try to establish a vpn connection to our company-VPN.
VPN Gateway is a cisco device. "Normal" connection via notebook with cisco vpn client works.
On my TyTN i installed ncp client. But i dont know how to configure the cisco settings.
On Cisco VPN Client:
- IP Adress of Gateway
- Group Authentication
- Transport IPSec over UDP
On ncp VPN Client:
- IP Adress of Gateway is easy to find
But i cannot assign the other settings. NCP Client has a lot of settings.
Has anybody success to establish vpn connection via windows Mobile to a cisco Gateway ?
Got it. Not the vpn Client was the problem.
The Blackberry connect SW (disabled!) prevented connection via vpn.
Deinstallation of BB Connect und vpn Client from Bluefire works fine.
What did you use as the VPN client to connect into the cisco gateway?
Do you use a RSA secureID token?
I am tring to get a VPN connection running from my HTC p3600i, WM6.
New VPN Client
Since a few days i use another VPN Client: www.ncp.de
Works fine. We do not user RSA Token. Only Group Authentication (free string to identify groups) and XAUTH - user/password.

Any ideas on a MPPE PPTP VPN via WM6? I have been trying to get this to work for months and can't. I am operating under the presumption that the VPN client in WM5/6/6.1 doesn't support MPPE and I am therefor up S#!T creek without a 3rd party dialer...
(It is a VPN connection to my work and yes as sorry as this is they still use an encrypted PPTP connection for all of their VPN connections. If they would just move on to something a LITTLE more current L2TP/IPsec I wouldn't be having any of these problems...)
But is there such a thing as a 3rd party PPTP VPN client for WM5/6/6.1 I haven't been able to find one...
TIA~

New(ish) Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client
Cisco have released an AnyConnect VPN client for Windows Mobile 5/6 (version 2.3.185). This is specifically targetted towards the ASA 5500 platform as the VPN server, however it should also work with IOS VPN devices (I am told?).
I haven't tried it, however I have seen it demonstrated and it all seemed to work.
Personally I prefer the integrated L2TP/IPSec VPN client and have posted previously on how to get this working with Cisco PIX 6.3, ASA/PIX 7.x and IOS devices.
Andy
AnyConnect VPN client will support only SSL VPN, that avaiable on Cisco ASA and IOS from 12.4(20)T or later.
Can I have two VPN connections to two different places on the same computer?
I work at two different medical facilities. I have a VPN connection to one and I'm trying to set up one for the other. When I'm in the New Connection Wizard and I pick "automatically dial connection", it makes me pick the medical facility that I already had on the computer to "automatically dial" when trying to create this new one.
cool vpn has given the users privilege to surf internet with freedom and security Thanks to VPN

[Q] Cisco NAC authentication

At work we have a guest wifi that I have to use a Cisco NAC (Trust agent) client to authenticate through to to get Internet connection.
Any ideas of other ways to authenticate as long as Cisco NAC is Java and therefore not possible to use on Android? Thanks

[Q] [REQ] OpenVpn full solution for SGS2

Hi all,
I have been tinkering with connectivity into my corporate network and so far been able to get a connection to our Office Communicator server via ASProxy and a secure wireless connection. However I am looking for a solution that works across my 3G connection via a VPN.
I have looked at the market place versions of OpenVpn and I cannot get it to work with our Cisco Gateway. I got stuck at the tun and adb part, so not sure what I need to do at this point so though I would ask the experts on here ;-) There has been much work on a very important missing part which was a user authentication proxy, so the next bit for me would be a means of connecting to an IPSec/UDP Cisco VPN Gateway that works with my Domain username and then a fob generated password.
Any help from you guys would be most appreciated and perhaps I can share my ASProxy configuration for anyone wishing to get their's working....
Thanks
Avalon
Hi,
you can't use an OpenVPN client to connect to a Cisco (IPsec) VPN server.
If you want to connect to an OpenVPN server then you can use OpenVPN Installer and OpenVPN Settings from the market.
If you want to connect to an IPsec server then use the built-in android VPN client or even some proprietary Cisco client from the market... (don't know about these as I only use OpenVPN)
Hi, thanks for the reply, however the built in VPN client will not work with our server. There is a Cisco anyconnect client that does connect, but we need a license for it which we dont currently have.
I will keep trying....

How can connect to L2TP/IPSEC VPN Server?

I have a vpn account from a L2TP/IPSEC VPN Server and use four attributes to connect it from Android or Windows devices: IP Adress, User Name, User Password and PreShared Key. I can connect with these details successfully manually. I also want to connect it programmatically in Android 4.x.
I looked into OrbotVPN and ToyVPN projects but couldn't see any details about connecting to existing VPN server. And I think there must be some configuration(server side code) at the remote point (VPN server) to response requests from clients in these projects. But in default; a L2TP/IPSEC VPN server configured already and ready for connections.
Also googled it, all of them says "VpnService is designed for creating custom-protocol VPN applications" but there is no an example of IPSEC implementation.
Is there any example of IPSEC implementation?
