I installed the Hotspot mod and a couple openvpn clients that utilize the new vpn api, but hotspot traffic doesn't route over the tunnel. Any ideas?

I want to set up a VPN at home that my xoom can access. I tried a simple PPTP with dd-wrt but I can't seem to access or ping anything, even though it connects. I want to do this so I don't have to forward SSH, RDP, and other ports that expose my stuff to the outside world.
At home I am running a DD-WRT gateway with a linux server as well as a Windows Server 2008 VM behind the gateway, any could host the VPN service.
I don't need instructions on how to set up the VPN, but advice on what is compatible with android's built in VPN support.
Thanks in advance for any input.

The windows vpn service works fine for me
I was under the impression I needed to set up a domain to use the included windows VPN service, and I wasn't looking to set up a domain.
Is this an incorrect assumption?

Here's a link to getting OpenVPN working. Must admit it looks like it's not for everyone.

That was not necessary for me. If it is a requirement, it is specific to Windows Server edition
I have a Windows PPTP VPN that my Xoom can connect to. You do not need to set up a domain.
Unfortunately there is a bug in Android that makes it lose connection to the VPN after a few minutes/seconds.
See here:

I just bypass androids native VPN and use Neo Router free. Available in the market. You just set up a Neo server on the computer you want to control and use the android app to open an encrypted connection to that computer. You can set up the app to forward any ports to the computer running the server. Works well. Right now im running splashtop remote and plex using it so i dont have to port forward the ports for those apps in my router.
Thanks for all the input. I am working on OpenVPN. I almost have it working (I already have my router set up for OpenVPN, just didn't know I could use it).
Ok, I already changed my user agents in both, internet explorer 8, and Firefox, I'm running cm7, and Im using the stock app to tether (settings, wireless and networks-portable tethering & hotspots) & I receivedthis message yesterday
" Free T-Mobile Msg: Phone Tethering & Wi-Fi Sharing access may be blocked unless you add a Phone Tethering & Wi-Fi Sharing plan available at my.t-mobile.com", nowise tried finding an app, and I can't for the life of me find an app that allows me to wirelessly tether (&WORKS), can someone give me some links to any working app?

I lost all Internet access during a call. WiFi Tethering went and then I lost all access.
That sucks.

That does suck. There are a few wireless tethering apps on the forum
I'm using the wireless tethering for root user, the newest one for the facinate.

I would like to make a http proxy to tunnel my data connection through it.
Anyone?

My data connection. Sometimes it won't let me access sites like Facebook. So I need HTTP instead of https

The best way to do it is install something like squid and ssh on a computer you have at home them tunnel in with ssh and forward a local port to the squid proxy server at home. That's what i used to do to get around content filters at libraries so i could get on Facebook and stuff. You can get all the stuff you need as portable apps on a usb drive.
The easiest way, though, is to just enable a vpn server on your router or computer and use the built in vpn functions on android to route all traffic through the tunnel. The big problem with that is that you cannot use it on an untrusted device because it's like connecting it directly to your home network. Any worms on it can infect any computer at home.
If you need step by step instructions I'd be happy to help with either method, but I'll need to know more specifics about your home setup. If you have a router that supports dd-wrt, there is a great guide to the vpn method in this same forum.

You've tried setting the system-wide proxy (using Internet Options -> Connection)? That should apply to most if not all apps.
Want to use metro app bt how proxy creates problem. In internet option only i can surf internet nothing else.....

Mobile VPN is the Virtual Private Network. VPN is a private
network system that uses the public internet to tunnel traffic secretly and securely from your phone to a computer network. This allows
you to safely access your Mailbox and other
Internet resources from a limited or unsecure
network connection. (eg - internet cafe).
