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.

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....
My VPN is not working in CM11. I have tried all settings and variaties for my VPN provider but none seem to work so I have raised a support ticket with them.
I am seriously hoping this is not a CM11 issue with VPN not working because part of my reason for upgrading was so it would remember my settings and always be on.

Thx, but that seems for openVPN only.
Any idea how to use L2TP/PPTP VPN ?
Hi
I am using a g900t with the AICP ROM 7.0 release and I am having some issues with VPN. I purchased VPN access from StrongVPN (If you know of a better provider please tell me who and why). I added my VPN credentials to the built VPN section of the ROM and it connects but randomly quits after awhile. I tried setting up the Always On VPN option but when it connects i have no internet access?
I am new to VPNs just trying to get something fast and reliable set up but feel i am stumbling around like a fool. Any help?

Since updated to android N i was unable to connect to the VPN, trying to use as many apps but no use
They connect to the vpn network and after a millisecond it is being disconnected.
Apps:
Opera max
Opera vpn
Hotspot sheild
Tunnel bear
Cloud vpn
Pisiphone
OVPN - tells me that the tun.ko is not loaded, the funny part is that droid vpn is blocked too...
Well this country blocks all Voip apps and so
Please if anyone is reporting this issue? I think those apps still not updated to be compatible with the Nougat version
Uninstall opera max (and reinstall if need be) happened to me before on 6.0
Causes VPN to disconnect after a while.

I just bought a Nexus 6P, rooted it, and installed PureNexus (Android 7.0.0). At home my WiFi works perfectly fine but I have issues at work.
Little background on our setup at work, we have 2 different wifi networks. One is a guest network with certain sites blocked at the firewall but nothing else really unique. The other is the main network with no firewall restrictions but you have to install a certificate to allow SSL traffic to be decrypted. Without the certificate you can go to any non-SSL sites, but secure sites will not load.
I'm able to connect to the guest network with no problems, but anytime I try to connect to the main network my phone says it has no internet connection. I'm able to get to internal resources on our network and the web browser actually does allow me to go online, but other applications won't. I've tried without the certificate, tried installing the certificate as WiFi and VPN/Apps but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Before the Nexus 6P I had an iPhone, which worked perfectly fine on the main network with the certificate. The last Android I had was on KitKat and it worked fine with the network configuration at work. Other people with Android have no problems with the network, but nobody has Nougat, yet. Any ideas on what's going on here or what I can do to fix it?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or help you can give!
