I'm trying to setup my Nexus 6P to use the built in VPN 'client' but I can't seem to connect it with any VPN websites that I use.
I would like to stay away from any third party apps (like openVPN etc)
Where can I find a VPN service that will be compatible with the built VPN? I usually use a VPN connection in Japan.
Thank you for your help

I recently purchased a tmobile mda and was trying to access my campus's network. But when I logged on, the only page I could view was about downloading a vpn client for multiple os's (but no windows mobile) to use the network.
Is there a vpn client for windows mobile?
Any help would be great.
Thanks!
There's a built-in client that will handle L2TP and PPTP VPNs. If you go into Settings/Connections and click "Edit my VPN servers" you can configure the client for your VPN. It's worth a try.
Tried that, didn't work... I decided to ask my University about their network, they said it was a cisco 3000 or something... And also informed me that "to their knowledge" the windows mobile 5 built in client isn't compatible...
I then went to the College of computer science help desk to see if some peers could help me. They said someone had bought a $100 program to be able to connect to the concentrator but didn't know who made it or where to get it.
Does anyone know of such a thing? Or a cheaper alternative?
AnthaVPN
I have found AnthaVPN wich is about from 40$ to 100$ depending what you need.
I'm trying also to open VPN without this IMHO too expensive solution. But if it's the only way - then I need to buy....
Maybe some kind of tunneling from own Linux-server (With Swan) might be the free solution....
I have been testing Bluefire Security's VPN and it works great, but my employer is using a Nortel system sio I cannot comment on the Cisco compatibility. It costs $79. I have also tries Antha but is cause problems enabling Wifi and Gprs.

Long time I could’t make connection with the built-in VPN client. After the latest ROM update from Qtek it works (I tested only PPTP). I can make VPN to SBS server and Windows XP. Also I can use Terminal Services true VPN connection.
The only thing I can’t get working is to access network shares (I tried GSFinder+ and NetUse).

just thought I would share my experiences. I need 24x7 access to my work network as I am one of the system admins...searching the internet I found what seemed to be just about the only one around...anthasoft vpn..downloaded the trial and I just couldnt get it to connect, not to mention whenever i had the program installed it killed my t-mobile data GPRS data connection....so i uninstalled it and stumbled upon Bluefire Mobile VPN
http://www.bluefiresecurity.com/products/vpn/
They have a free 14 day trial that installed and connects perfectly over gprs or wifi to my company network! I use it in conjunction with Mochasoft TN5250 for as/400 access and Jetcet print for a wireless connection with printing anywhere on the go
OpenVPN is free...
I use OpenVPN and it's great. It also completely free. For more information go to http://ovpnppc.ziggurat29.com/ovpnppc-main.htm. The one downside to openvpn is that it requires some knowledge to make it work; you need to know how to create and sign certificates in OpenSSL. There's a tutorial at the main OpenVPN site at openvpn.sf.net. With this, I can't understand why anyone would want to pay for a VPN solution. If you've got the technical knowledge, it's a no-brainer.
...but it doesn't work with Cisco vpn.
OpenVPN that is. Bluefire works perfectly with our corporate Cisco VPN. Which for me is a must have.
Well, obviously...
Of course you have to use the correct VPN client to connect to your VPN server. But if I have a choice about which VPN solution to set up, I'll choose OpenVPN for its cost-effectiveness.
likewise we have a cisco vpn here at our auction, so Bluefire was a must!
Hi Everyone,
I am seeking advice and/or feedback. Lack of 3rd party vpn (Juniper in my case) is really frustrating me. I know about TeamViewer, Remote Desktop, and the LogMeIn solutions available. Part of my problem is that I do not have local admin access to my work computer.
The desktop app for TeamViewer will launch on my work PC, and it will allow for remote connections, but this is pretty clearly commercial usage of the product, and therefore would require buying a terribly expensive license.
Here's what I'm thinking.
* Install Windows 7 on a virtual machine on an HTPC that is on 24/7.
* Install TeamViewer desktop app on the Win7 VM. (connecting to my personal, home network would not be commercial use)
* While connected to my VM, connect to my work VPN server and then launch RDP to my work computer.
Thoughts? Will this be too laggy?
An alternative would be to use Putty/RDP (jailbreak required) to connect to my HTPC via ssh tunnel and then connect to the VPN server.
Until a native VPN client is provided, I think I will need to do this two step process...
Any feedback is appreciated....

I've used this method:
- a 24/7 nettop at home with Windows 7 and a public IP address. Nettop allows incoming RDP connections.
- a VPN client on that nettop that allows connection to my office. I'm using ShrewSoft VPN as it is compatible with our VPN and it works fine through an RDP session.
- an RDP client on my phone or WinRT tab
When I need to connect to my workplace - I RDP into my home nettop, establish a VPN connection on it, then run RDP client on nettop to connect to my work PC. Speed is fine.
Long time ago I was thinking about making an app based on the OpenVPN sources that would not require any drivers. That app would allow you to make a tunnel to the specified port of a specified IP inside your work network - similar to SSH tunneling. But this is just an idea - would never have time to work on it.

Ahh! i spent many a day in talks with Juniper right up to a roundtable of management about a 64bit VPN client not being available. In the process of investigating the replacement i found Shrewsoft VPN http://www.shrew.net/download/vpn
It will connect to your juniper and they also provide a guide on how to do so. If you get stuck let me know and i can share some of my config. I use this successfully on both 32 and 64bit wind7/win8. In fact i just finished installing and using it on my new ASUS VivoTab Smart.
Could anyone provide me with a lot of assistance? I've been very interested in using a VPN for my computer and phone for awhile, as well as a proxy, and other means of privacy. I just get lost in a sea of information, I just want reliable, secure. I mean, I want to make sure the government of Japan can't track me down (example obviously).

check out pirate bay, they have a vpn recommended but it's not like your site to site vpn. you could then use something like proxys.org and proxy through that then you'll be annonymised by the vpn and again by the proxy.

Thanks. I've done something similar, and it seems to be working fine. I don't have dedicated hardware, so I've used a vm, but speed is working ok.
Shrew Soft looks interesting... I need to check it out.

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.
I have a VPN server set up at my house on an old XP machine for one reason, so i can connect to it for various media providers that require you to be home to use their full service. This works perfectly with the built in android VPN on my phone but I was hoping there was a VPN app I can install on my firestick, every vpn app i found is one that uses its own servers, I just need one like the basic VPN setup in android that you can use a PPTP server with a username and password?
open Vpn , i used it for pptp server on my firestick gen 2. Might be worth looking into. Best of luck =)

Can you elaborate more on this? The gen 2 stick, did you need to root it to make it function as a server? I've been looking everywhere for info to make firestick a vpn server.
Sorry this is mega late, I just installed open vpn to the stick and put in the info.
