Anyone else having trouble with att tilt vpn over edge? I've had several smartphones in the past, the last being tmobile wing, and have never had any problems creating a vpn connection with url exceptions. With this new tilt it seems like I can connect the vpn only over wifi, it does not attempt to connect to the vpn when just using edge. I've reset the device several times both with and without the att customization.
Any ideas for this problem would be appreciated.
Thanks,

TILT VPN Connection problems
I have been trying to make VPN connections over EDGE and 3G also. I find that the connection does get made if I connect manually, but as soon as I try to access something through IE, RD or Opera, it drops the connection. I have seen the connection maintained for up to a minute, but I cannot access anything.
I called ATT yesterday early afternoon. At that point the CSR was a proxy for the tech dept and told me to call HTC. I contacted HTC tech support and they were convinced it was an att softwae problem since the url exceptions worked correctly over wifi.
I called back ATT last night, got a csr who xfer me to a tech rep. He walked through the steps and provisioned isp.cingular apn to see if that would work. It did not. He then sent me to advanced network services where I got someone who definately was either not having a good night or had no intention of actually working that night. After his xfer to a bad extension, I called back to a csr, who then semi-understood the situation ( she was actually excellent help at the time for not being a tech person ) She put me with another advanced network services tech ( the first time she called advanced tech services she was hungup on by the same "Steve" I had encounted a few minutes earlier. Nice work Steve) who walked through the settings a few times, and then suggested I try another tilt at an att store.
Unfortunately it seems as though noone I've talked to yet has a grasp on url exceptions or what a vpn is? Noone from ATT or HTC seems to understand that its the software that's not trying to even attempt to connect to the vpn. I would be fine if it was my problem, vpn wise. I'm sure they're just doing their jobs but it's a little frustrating to pay $550 for a phone to have it no do something your other htc phone was doing last week. Anyways thats where I'm at now. I will try to go to an att store tonight and see if it works on another phone. I'm curious to know if anyone with the regular kaiser ( with the front camera ) is having a similar problem.

Sorry for that last double post. I did go back to the att kiosk again today and tried another tilt, which had the same results. I decided to return the one I had purchased and think i may try the regular htc kaiser with the front camera.
If anyone can verify that that version of phone works with pptp, that would be great.
From your last message I tried a few other things and I too was able to manually connect ( even get a prompt for login credentials to the vpn ) however the IE still will not try to connet with the url exception or keep the vpn connection open after IE is opened.
It's sad to think the att tilt is not working in thie regard. It takes away quite a bit of functionality for those who do use the vpn feature.

PIE will "ignore" exceptions for work connection using EDGE
I see similar problem with 8525 at&t WM 5.0 device (HTC Hermes) exact version Microsoft ® Windows Mobile™ Version 5.0 with the Messaging and Security Feature Pack. 5.0 OS 5.1.478 (Build 15706.3.5.2)
PIE will "ignore" exceptions for work connection using EDGE. However other applications like “ActiveSync” and “Terminal Service Client” work properly.
If Wi-Fi connection used for Internet, PIE as well works properly.
FYI on previous device 8525 Cingular
Microsoft ® Windows Mobile™ Version 5.0 OS 5.1.195 (Build 14955.2.3.0)
work exceptions works with PIE
it continues...
I ordered htc kaiser, had it shipped opened it, configured, and the results were.....
it would use work exceptions as it should, dialing the vpn when using PIE and calling trying to access a host in the exceptions list.
It did not however want to connect to the host even after establishing a connection with the vpn server.
I dont know why, but I thought of checking the ip address with PocketLan on the gprs interface. The ip address was a 10.x.x.x but the kicker was the subnet mask using 255.0.0.0. That may cause a problem with routing as my vpn tunnel is not a full 10/8 but still a 10/16. Anyway I decided to try the online tech chat and spoke with "Marcus"
I asked if there had been any changes in the last month or so on as far as ip address scopes using wap.cingular He said yes. I'm still not sure if that was actually the case or not . I went ahead and upgraded to the pda connect unlimited to use the isp.cingular, as the "pda personal max" just uses wap.cingular.
I had to connect several times with the isp.cingular to have the connection get a public ip address rather than a nat'd 10.x.x.x. It DOES now work properly with url exceptions, connecting the vpn, the whole ball of wax with isp.cingular
Unfortunately I had already returned the ATT Tilt so I dont have any way to test if it was the att software causing it or not. If anyone would like to let me borrow one for a few days we can do that
I am going to test with another vpn connection using a 192.168 or 172.16 etc. ip scope and see if it works with wap.cingular getting a 10.x.x.x address.
Anyways, thats it for now. I'll post again after the vpn test with the different scope.
Thanks,

Today I setup a vpn server with a 192.168.x.x scope. Using wap.cingular i was able to connect to the vpn and hosts within the vpn.
I tried again to connect to the 10.x.x.x vpn and try to edit the routing table using the PocketLan but each time I try to edit something it returns an error.
I'll have to try to find another utility or see if there a way to edit the routing table.
I'm hoping theres a way to change the default route for the 10.x network.
Here's some of the info when connecting over a wap.cingular connection
ip: 10.67.x.x
gateway: 10.67.x.x ( same as ip address )
subnet mask: 255.0.0.0/8
DNS: 66.209.10.201, 66.102.163.231
WINS: 10.11.12.13, 10.11.12.14 ( kind of hard to imagine any reason for wins entries? 10-11-12-13 seems like they may just be fake address. I dont know how window mobile does it's resolution, but that doesnt seem like it would be in the customers interest to be pointed to non-existant wins, if thats what they are. This may just be place holder entries for the PocketLAN software?)
Here's some of the info when connecting over a isp.cingular connection
ip: 166.128.x.x
gateway: 166.128.x.x ( same as ip address )
subnet mask: 255.255.0.0/16
DNS: 209.183.48.11, 208.183.48.10
WINS: 10.11.12.13, 10.11.12.14 ( same comments as before )

# Enter ? for additional hints on searching ARIN's WHOIS database.
I just thought of testing tracreroutes form both isp and wap.cingular. It does then show the problem with the ip information when trying to route.
When using the tilt though at first, none of this seemed possible at the time ( as I thought I was going a little nuts ) since the url exceptions never seem to attempt to connect to the vpn at all. As if the exceptions were ignored when using anything except WIFI.
Thats it for now. Post something new later.

jakedahs,
Very informative. Looks like its' been a few weeks. New insights?
Best,
Things are still working good with the kaiser and the isp.cingular. I haven't come across another ATT Tilt again to test it out again. Any other things you can think to test to put on this forum?
Thanks,
-J
LOL! I'm so far behind, I don't have a clue.

I too am having issues with my Tilt and VPN. So when I got the Tilt 10 days ago, I had a blackberry 8300 (Curve), when i left the store they had me on the same BlackBerry Data plan. The VPN worked fine - Perfectly in fact. A few days later when I questioned why I was still using a blackberry plan the CSR at AT&T said I should be on a PDA data plan and changed my service. After that the VPN stopped working. I contacted AT&T chat support and also called their complex data device support department and after changing a bunch of settings on the phone they finally gave up and said they could not support the VPN option. Nice Huh?
When I get home I am going to try connecting over WiFi and trying the VPN. This should tell me if the routing / VPN issue is related to traffic over AT&T or if there is something wrong with the phone.
Additionally, when the VPN worked it used to show a " balloon status " telling me VPN was connecting. Now it no longer does that. Even if I do force the VPN to connect and then try to use the connection is disconnects immediately.
I'm guessing you're going to have the same result. If you'd like we can run through some tests using different scopes of vpn's. I'd be interested in trying the tilt again since I know the kaiser I have works ok and I'm not crazy

Since they had me change my plan and settings around I called and confirmed that I now have the PDA Connect Unlimited plan. However, in the phone's connection settings what should the two network and subsequent individual network setting be? Mine was set to Media Net and Media Net.
I tried setting it to ATT ISP but it still did not work.
I just use isp.cingular all the time. Have you created work url exceptions for your vpn connection? The problem I was having when I had the tilt is even though I had the exceptions it would never attempt to dial the vpn when going to a web site on the vpn network. I'm thinking it may have been ATT that cripled the phone somewhat. The regular HTC Kaiser I have now works fine.
VPN - TILT
So I confirmed that if I use my WiFi connection the VPN works perfectly.
There is some issue with routing over AT&T data network. I tried chatting with their online chat support and they could not give me the settings I needed. It was clearly beyond their scope of knowledge. I will try calling their complex data support department to see if I can get the right settings.
How can a company offer data services and not understand their own network?
Vpn - Tilt - Settings
I found this posting at the cingular.com forum.
Since I need to call tomorrow to confirm my provisioning and my data plan subscription I cannot tell if they will work but I thought I would make the info public.
Here's what I've done to VPN using L2TP successfully... (someone else)
- Have PDA Unlimited Plan
- Call to have your account "provisioned" to use isp.cingular
- Create a new connection using the isp.cingular settings
- Configure device to always use that connection
- Create a new VPN connection
- Import appropriate certificates (if necessary)
- Disable (preferably remove) Proxy settings in Registry
- Create an Exception list for Intranet addresses
- Configure device networks to use isp.cingular for Internet access and vpn for 'Your Work/Intranet' network
One thing I have noticed is that if I let the device connect automagically to VPN, it will disconnect after a short period of inactivity. If I manually/force connect to VPN, it stays that way until I disconnect session.
I can connect either via 3G or Edge with no issues/problems.
VPN Access over anything on the tilt would be nice
I am unable to either one of my 2 vpn's using any connection configuration. I It seems like it wants to connect but then gives me an error msg telling me to check username and password.
Can anyone shed anylite what I'm doing wrong?
Tilt Vpn over Edge
With a little patience i figured it out! if you connect to your VPN first and then go to IE it will disconnect you. But if you go to IE, Opera, whatever first and then go to the address that you have in your exception list the tilt will connect to MediaNet and then connect to your VPN server and work!
I know that this thread will probably be over in approximately 3 posts, but I figured this was the place to ask to get a good answer.
I am part of staff for a site that uses my IP to enable staff functions. These functions are set to the IP I'm on. However, it never works considering my IP constantly changes when I'm on the T-Mobile network, and I do not have access to wifi. Is there any possible way at all, to be able to make this work, either from my N1, or on my PC using my N1 as a 3G hotspot? I'm not all that knowledgeable about networking, but I'm thinking there has to be some possible way to make this work somehow. Maybe I'm wrong and it is one of the impossible things to do on a cell network.
Thanks for any help.
how often does it change ? is the running at home or the pc u are tethering with it ? are you using a 3g network service for a server
Every couple minutes at least. One minute it's for example, something like 208.54.27.50 and in a matter of 5 minutes the last two digits could be changed. I use the 3G hotspot at home and there's no difference from that and using the phone's browser itself. I do not use T-Mobile 3G to operate any servers.
If it is via your provider you have no control over it changing as they assign you a dynamic IP. If you were at home you could set it to a static local IP (Over WiFi) but outside your LAN on T-Mobile's WAN you have no control over DHCP
All I use for internet access on the go and at home is the 3G hotspot that I get from my phone. Would I need an actual Wifi connection from an ISP other than T-Mobile to set it to a static local IP?
looks like that just cant be done.. either ur site changes ur auth to id pw based one(atleast in ur case)
or ..
if its a job of just checking somthing, u can find a friend or family member with a 24/7 online pc(with a a static ip) and just do the job thru a remote desktop connection
All right guys. Thanks. Very much appreciate your thoughts and for not flaming me due to an obvious answer. Thank you again.
Hi guys
I just got my 6p 2 days ago and it's still without rooting or even a 3rd app and I have a really Sirius problem some websites doesn't open when I'm on my home WiFi but it's open without problems on mobile network .. on the other side my mate 7 open them over same network!
Please help me with that it's drive me crazy
Which sites? Do they open with a browser refresh?
no bro .. Simply I do Google search when I hit a link for some sites it doesn't open put its open over 3g or my mate 7 hotspots but not my WiFi at same time when I use my mate7 over the same WiFi it's open
I suppose it depends on the sites! Sounds like your router is blocking your phone from accessing the web. Did you sign in via the pin/password or use WPS? Some routers use a limited guest account for WPS.
I don't think it's caused by the router other ways how the other Mobile works with same router
I use simple password for my router 223456789 that's it
We have 6 devices over the same network all works good but not my Nexus 6p
Of course it could be the router. Each device uses a different IP address and has a unique Mac address. Each device can be given different permissions based on Mac address and/or login type.
Have you looked at your router settings? Have you tried forgetting the network and then signing in again? You need to try different things to remove possibilities.
First of all .. Thank you very much for your time and help
Yes bro I try everything .. Forgetting the network and restarting both the Mobile and router and my settings on the router it's the standard I believe no limitation settings has been done only the wifi key which I mentioned before
I can open Amazon phone arena .... etc
But I can't open some other sites
Do you think The DNS hase something to do such things opening some site and not opening some other I couldn't find the DNS settings in the Nexus even under developers options
As the title says, Every vpn i try no longer works, have even tried different dns server's in my router, to no avail, I use stbemu pro, all channels show, but when selecting channel to view, black screen, every channel, black screen which disappears when I uninstall any vpn I'm testing, which is not a lot due to most apks being made for mobile fones, cant turn any of these on, so 99% of vpn apks cant be used on my 4k firestick, hint, please make apks to work on a firestick, we dont all use mobile fones or tablets!
Edit: I noticed that if I watch say sky movies, after x amount of time, that particular channel is black screened, go to another channel and watch, again, black screened, cant get back into particular stream suggesting stream is being blocked by ip by amazon at head end
UPDATE:
I thought it would be good to show all what I did to get the blocked channel's back. So I decided to dig out ye auld Tomato Router, and plugged the wan into my new tplink archer mr600, which is a sim card router. I'm not going into how to flash tomato or how to bridge routers, because flashing tomato is easy, and my setup does not include bridging, so pay attention tomato user's.
I plug my ethernet lead from lan/wan port of Mr600 into wan port of my Asus Tomato router. In the mr600, I set the access list to accept only the mac of my tomato router. I disable all wifi in the mr600, then go into my tomato router and change the wifi names to what the mr600 uses. I noticed that when I used any old wifi name, in the tomato router, the firestick says it could not find whatever old name, and because the firestick previously connected directly to the mr600 wifi, i changed the tomato wifi names to match those on the disabled mr600 wifi, allowing the firestick to connect to the tomato. Never had this prob with any other device. Seems amazon dont want you to use wifi names that dont reveal your product to them.
I set the dns in the mr600 to 1.1.1.1, I then go back to the tomato router and...
1: Set my preferred Dns server by going to basic setting's, network, in the WAN setting's, click Dns server, set to manual, and input my preferred dns.
2: Took control of my isp hijacked Dns server back from my isp: In tomato router, blacklisted my isp provided dns by going to Advanced settings, Dhcp/Dns and scrolled down to Dnsmasq, in the box, type 'bogus-nxdomain=8.8.8.8' - without the quotes, note I only used google dns to show you what to type in this box. You can do this with ANY ip you dont like the look of.
3: I then went to Advanced settings and clicked Adblock, I disabled the actual adblock, because this check's adblock servers every two minutes, why I dont know, so I disable it, reducing buffering on firestick to ZERO, and it greatly reduced the logs I used to find what address's came from the firestick, being the only connected device apart from my lappy. In the custom box, I added the following address's:
ags-ext.amazon.com
arcus-uswest.amazon.com
cdws.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com
cognito-identity.us-east-1.amazonaws.com

I can now view ALL the channels that got blocked after x amount of time, but beware, I only use stbemu pro, and a few movie apk's, some of the above address's may be required for amazon products that YOU may use.
Next project is to connect the mr600's vpn client to the tomato vpn server, when I've got that done, I'll add instructions here.
I hope this is of use.
Hi-
Just installed LineageOS 17.1 on my Moto G7. When I enable Hotspot, my phone loses mobile data altogether, and I can't get it back until I reboot. I can still ping google DNS servers (8.8.8.8). When I try to use Private DNS to dns.google, I get "couldn't connect". So, it seems like the hotspot is interfering with the phone's ability to resolve hostnames somehow.
Mobile data works fine all other times, and I spent a couple hours on the phone with my carrier, and there's nothing wrong on their end (phone also reports it's still connected to the LTE network).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Update:
Just did the August 16 update -- no change. Here's some more information:
When hotspot has killed internet access on mobile data:
I cannot ping any hostname (I cannot ping websitename);
I can get DNS resolution (I can resolve websitename to 172.217.9.196);
I can ping 172.217.9.196;
BUT, I can't get my browser to load a webpage with 172.217.9.196 (on my phone; it works on my computer).
I also appear to be connected to the local cell towers -- just can't get access to their internet.
None of this goes away when hotspot is turned back off, although if I turn wifi on, I can get access to internet again.
Weird stuff -- especially the DNS resolution that works but doesn't allow me to load a page.
Actually, it looks like I am NOT getting DNS resolution for sites other than google. Instead, I get something about a Canonical name ....
