VPN not working - OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear,
Since i'm using the oneplus phones i can't connect to my VPN server running on my NAS Synology.
I tried to use it on the OPO...but it didn't work. Looked it up and i found out there was an problem with the VPN and the standard software.
Now i bought the new model of oneplus and still i can't get it working on my OPT.
On my NAS i configured the VPN for L2TP/IPSec. So i tried with the exact settings on my phone. Result it's not working!
Tried it on my macbook and it work's like charm!
Others with the same problem?
Cheers

Watchguards Firewall

Has anyone managed to connect via VPN through a Watchguard firewall??
Hello,
I've never specfically used the Universal through the Watchguard firewall, but we have loads of himalayas and alpines all working fine.
If its a problem specific to the Universal you've got I could try it for you, but I can't imagine there being any problems
Cheers

VPN Setup

Has anyone got VPN working with a third party provider online e.g vpnuk.net but any would do ?
I can connect over 3G is I don't included the 'secret' key. If I do included it, it fails. I tested on a iPhone, it works either way.
Over Wifi (from work) neither works setup works but iPhone, MacBook, Windows PC are all working.
It suggests that Android VPN software is causing the problem....

[Q] VPN issues with AOKP4?

I use Cactus VPN to connect to their NL server to watch NFL games using Gamepass over PPTP. I have been able to connect just fine and it will work for a brief time. But as soon as I go to a website, it will begin to load the site for a second or two and then loading stops and times out. Once that happens I can't even ping anything. Kill the VPN connection and it goes just fine. The VPN worked with stock ROM and it works in Win7. I also connected successfully on my daughter's Macbook. It seems isolated to this release on AOKP on my N7. Anyone else had this problem or know a fix? I love the ROM, but with VPN not working for me, its a no-go.

VPN on unrooted firetv [option]

Just a heads up as I am an ex pat I was struggling to install iplayer etc even with a smart dns setting,
I purchased a vpn from vpn unlimited they were, maybe still offering.
"OH still available for 7 days from the post date $19 3 years VPN http://goo.gl/st407o " well less of that.
I am Unrooted so No VPN possible, Well if you are desperate I installed the vpn on my PC and used a great free app
http://virtualrouter.codeplex.com/
Set up a WiFi hotspot which shared the country selectable VPN. Shown above,, connected the firetv and guess what all was fine, I even measured 7mbs download speed (on pc) and video played fine on firetv
After all of that I found out my appstore was registered to the USA so that was one of the problems soon changed that in devices and settings on amazon.com, carried on and installed all the UK free apps I desired.
TV catchup is working on my PC so I am off to try the app on my firetv
The only requirement to watch out for is the black listeded ip adresses for updates may not be blocked yet, I am investigating. it should be possible as it uses open vpn as a core.
Enjoy
UPDATE Tvcatchup works fine abroad , just get the apk off aptoide
Another solution also is to setup a VPN Wifi Router in your house using a Raspberry PI.
I did that and I'm very happy.
I still need some tweaking but getting there.
Next step will be to build an iPhone application that can control it (restart, change country,...)
Let me know if you want a procedure, I can send you the one I follow. I'm also planning to do one myself with some changes.
The only thing is that you will need a VPN provider that is compatible with OpenVPN.
I got a ddwrt router costing me £10. Has VPN and smartdns built in. Works brilliantly.
Hi nufclad,can you tell me which router you are using,ive been recently looking into trying this myself
Thanks
Hi Si,
Sure, its the DIR-615.. I think most revisions now work too . Mines rivision d4.
Pick them up really cheaply. I got mine on Gumtree brand new boxed. But eBay its between £8-£15.
Really can't fault it.
Thanks nufclad,il keep an eye out

VPN Broken on 6.0.1?

Hi All,
Since I upgraded to 6.0.1 (stock) my VPN connection no longer works. Not using any app just the built in Android VPN to hide.me.
Used to work on 4.4.4 and 5.1.1.
Exactly the same settings on the same network on my Note 3 (4.4.2) work just fine.
Always the same 'unsuccessful' message on the Note 4 (SM-N910C) though.
PS I have done a factory reset, cleared the cache etc etc just in case but no joy.
Anyone come across this. Any solution or workaround?
Cheers,
MM
I think there was a problem with VPNs in Android 6.0 marshmallow. Don't know if it's been fixed though.
VPN is working fine on my phone with 6.0.1 MM. I use Betternet VPN.
I experienced a problem before with VPN when I installed the xposed module Force Immersive Mode. But after disabling this xposed module, my VPN worked fine again.
Well, I am totally unable to get a VPN running using the built in VPN client using L2TP/IPSEK PSK.
For the benefit of others who may have the same issue. I download OpenVPN for Android from the market and used a ovn (config) file from my VPN provider (hide.me) and it all just worked first time.
If you don't have an ovn file you can configure manually.
I am very surprised at Sammy letting it ship with broken VPN functionality. A lot of us need this to access work networks etc etc.
Mrmyagi did you ever find a fix for the built in VPN access? I use a tab4 for work and cannot get into my VPN anymore on marshmallow. Our IT department can't even figure out a workaround
I use tunnelbear on 6.0.1, and it works fine.

I would use a third party app only company doesn't allow installation of any apps off store. Might be able to install it with just apk though
FWIW I use the stock VPN facility to connect to the VPN facility of my Draytek router, and it works fine, so the stock facility isn't completely broken.

I use OpenVPN for Android (available on Play Store). Works for me and actually better (IMHO) than the built-in client.
