Why can't I seem to get VPN working on my rooted KF?
I have tried several of the ROM's and have even tried with the new 3.0 kernel.
I have a VPN router setup at a remote location and all I want to do is connect to it using the KF so that when I am out of the country I can access media with a US based IP.
Any help or direction would be appreicated.
I know the VPN setup is working and have tested it on both a iphone and a pc. The KF takes the setup info but always fails to connect to the PPTP VPN.

Hi,
I am trying unsuccessfully to connect to a PPTP VPN using the VPN client built into my new HTC TyTN II.
Wifi - I can connect using a WinXP SP2 laptop using wifi through my home linksys wireless router (which has PPTP passthrough enabled) using the standard Win XP vpn client. When I try with my TyTN II, I can browse ok but if I set up a VPN connection I get "VPN server problems. Verify your username and password, etc"
GPRS - If I try to connect over GPRS, I connect to Orange GPRS but when it tries to connect to the IP address of my VPN server, I get the same VPN server problem error message. (As a side issue, I asked Orange to enable my account for vpn which they did, sent a SIM update and told me to change my apn to 'internetvpn' instead of 'orangeinternet')
As I can connect through my wifi connected laptop, it seems to point to my WM6 vpn client but my forum searches suggest that the WM6 client works ok. Oh, and yes, I have checked that I am using the correct vpn username and password!
Any thoughts greatly appreciated - the ability to maintain some linux servers was my main reason for getting this phone!

Bump!!! Same problem here. I have all the proper ports open on my router and still no luck.
I've been trying to resolve this with the people that manage my vpn server which is my case is a Watchguard firewall - apparantly Watchguard isn't compatable with PPTP on WM6 and they have suggested using IPSec and have provided me with a client (not that I've got that working yet either!)
I suggest you contact the vendor of your vpn server and ask them whether they are compatable and how a WM6 client should be configured. Post anything you find out here for the benefit of others.
WM6 don't connect to VPN over GPRS/ WiFi
Friends...
I have the same problem... the VPN server is Windows Server 2003... My PDA has WM6 (with in-build VPN client)... then VPN PPTP would work OK... but What is the wrong??
Regards...
I also could not connect on vpn over GPRS and got error message, but after I tested all installed programs I have found out that my SPB GPRS Monitor was the reason for the errors. So I killed it.
Now VPN over GPRS connects and looking into register I see that I am really connected i.e. I got DNS server IP, I got name of the local network and dynamic IP for my HTC, but nothing works. As I have found out from server guys they see me but my dynamic IP is not logged in server DNS, so no program sees me and I can not work.
Can somebody help?
Same
I have a similar problem but the difference is that i don't even receive an error message. When i click connect NOTHING happens!! The wifi i am using is an open network but I must connect to vpn to connect to the internet.
Please help as i really need to get this working...
I have been trying to iron this out with IT at my office as well. I have been trying to get WM6.1 VPN working for nearly a year.
I have a TyTnII and my IT office just bought some kind of WM6.1 Motorola/Sprint Smartphone as well which they actually asked me about setting up for them.
The problem what I am experiencing is that I CAN connect to the VPN server (I use one of the TaskMan progs that has ipconfig built it, and I am getting an appropriate IP from the VPN server). BUT I can't browse ANY intranet sites via PIE or Opera Mobile 9.5. Whenever I try to browse to an intranet site I just get nothing, browser does nothing for ~10min then gives timeout error.
I have heard that this has to do with an inbuilt error in the PPTP module of the VPN client that incorrectly makes VPN server requests using the IP address assigned by the GPRS/EDGE/3G/etc. connection rather than the IP address assigned by the VPN connection, obviously will cause problems!
Anyway, we are investigating 3rd part VPN clients...
Only IPSEC works
I also made many tries to get vpn working over BT PAN profile.
The only configuration which worked for my was IPSEC with the Safenet SoftRemote-LT Client on PC.
With the windows native pptp based vpn does not work .
I got the error code 721 what means that the GRE protocol (frame type 47 on port 1721) does not pass through. This seems to be the the real problem of the packet filtering components of the WM device. The problem is not related to bluetooth or PAN Driver, because it behaves in the same way if you try to do it over USB port. No way.
You guys might want to check out my post about getting my PPTP VPN working and actually syncing ActiveSync on a fixed schedule regularly over VPN.

Getting what you want to work over VPN requires work URL Exceptions so that the traffice is properly routed.

Watchguard does support PPTP, your IT guys just need to configure it. As for IPSec which would be awesome because there is an app call Greenbow that will connect you over 3G doesn't work with Watchguard. You can only connect using their own client for it which needs a license and isn't support on Windows Mobile. They got a hate email from me for that crap.
Hello,
In the General Section of xda-dev i never got answers about pptp vpn.
Perhaps i´ll get here some help ^^
Is there a way to get a working pptp client for my x10i.
My Phone is rooted and i can replace files if needed.
The buildin pptp client is useless and doesn´t connet to my bintec r1200 router.
My Windows PC and my Ipod are connecting without any problems.
Why google added a pptp client which doesn´t work ?
Some Users wrote they can connect with some comercial vpn providers. But i need to connect to my own Network. I don´t want to pay for something which my Router can give me 4 free ^^
My Phone does never connect to my Network. I does not matter if encryption is turned on or off.
I tryed the tip to replace some file from this thread, too.With no luck
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4706
Has anyone get a succesful PPTP connection to a NON COMMERCIAL Vpn ?
Openvpn is useless for me, too. My Router supports als standard VPN, so i don´t want to run an additional PC to get that Phone connected to my Network.
Please Help me
First, the background. I have a new Verizon Galaxy Tab, very impressive and I have searched extensively about this problem. I need to establish a VPN tunnel with a couple of client sites. I have Server 2008 and Sonicwall endpoints available with PPTP (Server 2008) and L2TP (both endpoints) available. I have spent the better part of a day trying every option I can to establish a VPN connection with no success.
Has anyone successfully used the built-in VPN capabilities? I have read that PPTP is broken in Froyo but that possibly L2TP may work. Please do not suggest alternate services as a solution as I am aware already of that route, although I am open to purchasing any app that would make this work. My device is not rooted and I am not interested at this time of flashing any custom ROM. I am interested in determining what works and how you made it work. Thanks in advance.

SonicWALL have VPN clients for their NetExtender and Aventail products on the Market. I've used Aventail and it works great.

Thanks. I will give it a try. I found a client in the market from Sonicwall.
Update
I tried the SSL VPN client (NetExtender) for SonicWall and it works very well. If anyone needs a VPN solution and their SonicWall supports SSL VPN then go for it.
do you need to have SonicWall VPN? Is it possible to use pptp to connect to a vpn?
I tried the PPTP and L2TP built-in clients with no success. I bought my Tab to be able to fix a problem on a server when I am mobile and I was disappointed that I was not able to get either working. Searching didn't yield much except that PPTP is apparently broken and L2TP is somewhat non-standard. It may also be that it has been fixed on models from other carriers (I have a Verizon unit). So I say try it, but don't be surprised if it doesn't work. I am hoping that the supposed Gingerbread release may offer some fixes in this area. In the meantime, the SonicWall is a solution for me, but won't be for most people.
I have the Verizon Tab also. I am wondering how I can connect to my VPN. Can Android use any of these: OpenVPN (SSL), PPTP, and Cisco IPsec.
I have the built-in VPN working via L2TP to my home network, running xl2tpd. I never got IPSec working, though (trying to provide with StrongSwan PSK).
Are you using the Verizon Tab? I have no problem connecting to the same vpn with my Evo.

I'm using a T-Mobile tab. That shouldn't make any difference, however.
I've never seen L2TP working on Android, and so far (1.6; 2.1; 2.2) Froyo has the best PPTP support with a whole minute before whatever app you are using starts to time out.

Hi All,
I've been trying a few CM7 builds, and the speed is amazing, but I can't connect to my VPN using either LT2P or PPTP on any of them?
Can anybody please point me in the direction of a CM7 build where VPN works for them? Being in China, where Google services disappear every now and then, having VPN access is very important!
Cheers guys.
I'm guessing nobody uses VPN with CM7? I can get OpenVPN to connect, but it won't route internet traffic through the VPN gateway. So frustrating!
Looking for this too, I can't get my PPTP to even connect. Maybe it's a common issue in all CM builds?
Yes, I have tried many CM7 builds and all the same - PPTP and L2TP refuse to connect. Lucky I have my Galaxy S to use with VPN, but I'd really like to get this working. If any devs stumble on this thread, would logcat output be useful?

I'm using OpenVPN for connecting to my company - this is working very well, except DNS resolution. Therefore I have to use the IP...
PPTP and L2TP are not working on my CM7 phone!
I just got my OpenVPN working by forcing it to use 8.8.8.8 which is google's free DNS server.

I have the same problem! Native CM7 vpn client isnt work via 3G, but if i use WiFi it works fine. The connection is stable, but after seconds traffic goes down, ping also down.
If i use such soft as DroidVPN (free for testing, droidvpnDOTcom) it works fine without any problem. But this soft is commercial vpn access.
Hovewer i need vpn working client for corporate network use.
After searching and trying out several ways to connect my GT to my school's proxy authenticated wifi network I gave up. Then I thought about my ipod touch, registered my wifi mac address with the IT guys and voila it was so easy to configure proxy just my entering user name and password I I can surf.
Now why on earth did android neglect the proxy wifi I have no idea. Furthermore, the adhoc wifi does not also work OTB and will only work if rooted. Why?
I am beginning to regret purchasing android device.....
Hi, what is the specific problem-is it connecting ok to wireless but not authenticating to your web proxy server? apps like asproxy ( http://alsubang.github.com/ASProxy/index.html) should work, but haven't tried it myself....
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
I have tried asproxy and it did not work. And yes it connects to the usual hotspots like starbucks. I am also rooted so I am able to connect to adhoc from my nokia phone(joiku hotspot).
I also know some friends who have the 10.1 and the asus transformer and they also cannot connect to the schools proxy. A visit to the IT department confirmed that Android is not supported.
A lot of people in our community are already put off getting an android device because of this.
