I have two phones with the same SIM card.
1. Samsung Galaxy S2
After activated MobileAP, my iPad will be able to connect to my PPTP VPN server.
2. Dell Streak 5
However, in my DS5, the connection to my PPTP VPN server seems blocked.
Anyone face similar problem?
Hello CharlesCCO,
After reading the whole question 2 things came to my mind so i though to describe you in detail to pass you some decent knowledge which may be productive for you.
Well, there are two conditions which i think is in your case;
To start with the first, as you have 2 mobile phones and you are willing to connect vpn on both...If you are trying to use vpn on both simultaneously then it is not possible with every provider because not all the providers support simultaneous connectivity. So, i will recommend you to first try to connect vpn on different time interval on you both phone. If that does not work then, ask your vpn provider either they support simultaneous connectivity or not.
The second part is that, it might be possible that there is some problem with the configuration on your phone. So, you can try configuring it once again. It will going to help you indeed!
I have been using vpn on multiple devices and for that currently i am using hidemyass because it allows me to use 2 simultaneous connection. I am using the same on my lenovo notebook and on my iphone vpn . I have tried pptp vpn as well as l2tp vpn and both are good...
Hope this will help you...and if you have further problem with then feel free to ping me on this forum. i will give my best shot to solve your query
Hi...
I am new to this Forum and to Android Device also.
Earlier i used Apple Iphone 3Gs , but now shifted to HTC One S
Problem i am facing is , i can't connect wifi from laptop to HTC one S through connectify
Through connectify,wifi sharing is available for other laptops and iphone , but it is not working for HTC one S
As some one posted in other thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778767
that we can see 3 options, but only 2 options are displaying in my connectify... i dont have wifi access point in the advance option...only ad hoc
I am working on Panasonic CF 29 laptop , Windows 7 Ultimate32 bit OS with Intel Pro/Wireless 220BG network Connection 9.1.1.15 version..
I tried Update Driver , it is saying as uptodate... but still the problem exists , i cant connect wifi and also Hosted Network is showing No (while i run a command in cmd prompt)
and one more thing while i used mhotspot also no use it is saying as the group or resource is not in the correct state to perform.
please guide me to enable wifi to my HTC one S android mobile also....

I am using it and the connection never drops

I have an international Samsung Galaxy S3 from Telcel in Mexico running the official Jellybean ROM, and from work I got a Lenovo ThinkPad T430. Sometimes the office's wifi will saturate and it won't let me connect, and this leaves me with almost no internet on the phone because Telcel's 3G barely reaches into my office. Putting the laptop on wi-fi ad hoc mode to give my phone connection from the corporate Ethernet is verboten.
Given this scenario, I was wondering: is there a way to share internet connectivity with my Galaxy S3 over, for example, Bluetooth or USB?
Hi there,

For a couple of days i'm struggling to find a way to access an openvpn network that will alow me to play some android games with my friends (as lan/wifi local network). The problem is ,all the vpn networks i've tried so far will block any ports that games will need to be open ,so will not detect any gameserver on the network. I even had problems runing mumble server voicechat (plumble for android) ,because the program can't connect to mumble server while vpn network is active (same for skype and other similar programs).
So my question is ,does anyone knows a openvpn server capable of sustaining games over it's network? or any other free solution to that ?! (we want to play local multiplayer games on android over internet -->friends in different areas)
Thank You !
Hi all
I've setup VPn tunnels to my office on my S9+. I've setup a PPTP from the built in client and IPsec and SSL from the Fortinet Client and none of them are working.
I'm sure that authentications are correct as I use same settings on my laptop running windows 10 and on a iPhone 7 plus.
Anyone with the same problem?
This might not help you exactly but there seems to be an issue with the stock ROM and VPNs. Adguard, which blocks ads via VPN, was also having the same issue and the devs have reported it to Samsung from what I understand. The fix will probably come during a later update since VPN issues are a bigndeal, especially for people who need to use their devices in a corporate environment.
My VPNs include one PPTP and one IPSec/PSK, and they both connect without issues on four different Verizon S9+ phones.

Hola
I just wanted to give you a heads up that Adguard dev's have figured out a temporary workaround to make the their VPN ad blocking features stick. You'll need to check their forums for the actual setting (or use their nightly release which has the setting enabled by default). I have this setting enabled and now I am able to browse ad free for the most part without issues.
I've just update the phone and it's now working yet. Besides that the problem is even worst because I can't even connect VPNs on my laptop if using the phone as hotspot.
I've reported to Samsung and I'm waiting for a call and a remote assistence but if I can get a fix in a few days the phone will be returned because this is a big issue for my work.

I used this functionality fairly frequently with my (Verizon) S8+.
I've just completed about an hour of testing with my (Verizon) S9+.
I tried the USB tether, the Bluetooth tether, and the Hotspot networking on the phone. In each case I established a network connection to the public Internet without issue.
The VPN connections from my Windows 10 system, however - using that S9+ connection - all fail now with one exception.
The PPTP, L2TP/PSK and IKEv2 connections (that all work[ed] with my S8+) will not connect using my S9+.
The one exception is the Microsoft-specific SSTP variant, which tunnels over port-443. That one will connect with the S9+ in all three networking scenarios - USB, bluetooth and Hotspot WiFi.
This seems to indicate that the new phone does not pass TCP port 1723 and/or GRE 47 (PPTP) and UDP ports 500 and/or 4500 (L2TP and IKEv2) through it's network tethering and the WiFi connections.
Bummer.
At least I can still use SSTP to get to my server resources - which is 90% of my VPN needs anyway - but the other connections are dead now.
Connections FROM the phone, using it's built-in PPTP and L2TP profiles to host networks, continue to work properly on the S9+ -- as they did on the S8+.

That is the Snapdragon version? Does it have a special ROM from Verizon or is the stock Samsung?
Maybe that is the difference

Stock Verizon (SD845 8.0) S9+ compared with a stock Verizon (SD835 7.0) S8+. I suppose the difference might be explained by going from Android 7 to Android 8, but I have no way of testing that hypothesis at this time.
(The last phone I modified was a 2013 Motorola RAZR. I've subsequently switched to using my phones as phones, rather than as a hobby. )
If someone has a different experience with employing a networked platform's VPN while using a similar phone in a tethered or hotspot configuration, it would interesting to know.
My own successes with the phone's built-in VPN (PPTP and L2TP) - as separate from the scenario described above -
apparently differ from those of others in this thread for reasons I cannot explain.
I'm in the same boat - a new S9 and can't connect to my work VPN when using the phone as a hotspot. It works fine on S8 and Iphones. Does anyone know how to fix this? This is a critical issue for me as I work remotely quite a bit.

I think there is no fix yet. I had someone from Samsung support connected to my S9 last Tuesday and they could not find anything so they escalated the problem inside Samsung but until now no further news.
S9+ work with IPSEC!

What CPU does it have? Is it unlocked or from what network/provider is it?

CPU - Exynos 9810 - 2,7 GHz, its on Croatian network - T-Com ( T-mobile ) - locked.
New update in germany : G960FXXS1ARD1
Maybe a good patch ...
My S9 unlocked (SD) can connect to my L2TP/Ipsec VPN but disconnects within a minute or so (even if the connection is under constant use.) I have another Anrdoid 7 device (and a Windows 10 laptop) that has no problem with the same VPN/router/WiFi combination and can stay connected for hours. I don't know how to escalate this with Samsung in a way where they just don't blame my other hardware.
