[Q] WiFi with proxy - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I do realize that this is Android-related and not Atrix-related. Still Ill try asking it here anyway.
There is no proxy option for wifi connection behind firewalls. I have found several apps that do the trick but none of them support usr & pwd authentication on the proxy.
Any thoughts?

thanks if you reply me
Is this your own wireless network?
If it is, can you connect other wireless devices to it?
Most common issue is the device is not getting an IP, I have seen Netgear, Belkin, and D-Link routers/access points fail to issue an IP to WindowsCE devices for some reason, usually if you soft reset the router/access point, it will work for you.
If it's not your network, perhaps there is a proxy server or other gateway on the network, and you need to enter these settings into your device.
or if it's set to get dns by dhcp and the gateway dont give any dns
or if it's hardcoded to always use the isp gprs dns on all connections

[Q] WiFi access using proxy server that requires authentication

I would like to be able to use my tablet with my students at school. Unfortunately the district uses a proxy server that requires authentication to access their network.
I know the ipad has these advanced wireless settings built in. Is there anyway to add this feature to my G tab? I am currently running the stock rom 1.1 3588, but I have run the market fix.
Try wifi browser login. It works at hospital using Cisco pop-up that requires clicking accept button to activate wifi on web browser
This is a different type of proxy server that requires logon to even connect to the network.
Are you saying that you can't connect to the wireless access point because of the wireless authentication method being used by the school or are you saying you're connected to the wireless access point but now the proxy authentication is blocking you?

Solution to proxy

Those who are unable to connect to wifi proxy use autoproxy app it works very well
It also supports authentication server types supported are http socks and ntlm
I use Proxydroid due to its capability of enabling automatically when connected to specifics networks. It also supports NTLM. Maybe you can give it a try too.

[Q] Connecting to 802.1x EAP network

I cannot get my Evo 3D to connect to a wireless network secured with 802.1x PEAP MSCHAPv2. I know my login/password are fine. It just hangs on the "Obtaining IP address" and retries, but never connects. I used to be able to connect to the network, but it would have problems staying connected (would show it was connected, but would not transfer data). Now I can't get it to connect. I am able to connect fine using my ipod touch.
I've searched several places and have seen that not being able to connect to enterprise wireless networks occurs across many different android phones and has been a problem for many people for years.
Does anyone have any idea on how to get it to connect? I've tried the Wifi Advanced Config to change things and manually adding the network suggestions that seem to come up the most when searching this problem to no avail.

Wifi at my college campus is setup the same way, I had to use Wifi Advanced Config Editor from the Market (LINK) to correctly configure the settings for the network. The other way to do it is manually editing the wpa_supplicant.conf file in /data/misc/wifi, but it's much harder and easier to mess up.
Good luck!
Yeah, I've messed around with wifi advanced config, but haven't found any settings that work. It's weird because it used to connect. I've flashed the stock rom, my own rom based on stock, and the aosp based roms. None of them will connect.

You could try this
Open Wi-Fi Settings from Settings, Wireless & Networks If need be, write down the SSID of the 802.1x network (Case sensitive) Select Add Wi-Fi network Enter the SSID, select security 802.1x Enterprise, EAP method is PEAP, Phase 2 authentication is None, CA certificate and Client certificate are N/A, Identity is your RADIUS or Domain Authentication username, Anonymous Identity can be left blank, and Wireless password is the password to match your RADIUS or Domain Authentication password.
If you change your password you have to 'forget' the network and start again
Or you could look here

But it is for the network which is hidden. It will not be helpful if you create for visible one.
Try the "Leap WIFI free" app from Play Store
Try the "Leap WIFI free" app from Play Store. Its an app provided by a developer called "OneGuyInABasement".
I was having the same issue where I couldn't connect to the (802.1x EAP based) Wifi network at my workplace.
I configured the network through this app and now I can connect just fine.

Always-on VPN question

I am using a Nexus 7 running jelly bean 4.2. I have a vpn that I use which is working much better than 4.1 (no longer disconnects all the time). I am trying to use the Always-on VPN but I can't seem to get it to work. Perhaps I am mis-understanding the functionality.
Currently I am in the VPN section in settings. I see my VPN connection and it says Connected. If I click the options menus I see Help and Always-on VPN. When I click on Always-on VPN, it asks me to select a VPN profile to always remain connected to. The only option I get is None, which is selected.
Why am I not able to select the VPN connection that I have created (the one it's currently connected to)? Am I missing a step?
Thanks in advance. :good:
Same problem here...
I'm having the same issue. I wish Google would detail these things more thoroughly. YouTube is wonderful for this sort of thing. And gee they own it. Google, please use your resources.
I tried always on using a PPTP connection and wasn't given the option to select an always on vpn. Then I tried a L2TP/IPSec connection and was able to select it once I set the server address to an IP and provided a numeric DNS server. However, it doesn't connect. I keep getting an error about no network connection even though my wifi is connected. I have to set auto-on to none before I can use the vpn. Also, it still won't let me select the PPTP connection as always on even after providing the numeric server and DNS.
I'm using a nexus 7 and 4.2.

Same here!!!!!
Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7
Can anyone call to 855-83-NEXUS ? (I'm outside of USA)
In help article, it says:
Set up an always-on VPN
Some VPNs support an always-on mode that won't permit network traffic if the VPN connection stops working. This can be useful, for example, if you're moving between unsecured public Wi-Fi access points and want to make sure that your VPN connection remains active and secure. If an always-on VPN connection is lost, you'll receive a notification and won't be able to send or receive data until the connection is restablished.
Before switching a VPN network to always-on mode:
Get detailed setup instructions from your administrator.
Add the VPN.
Connect to the network and, after providing your username and password, check Save account information. This is required for always-on VPNs.
See above for instructions for adding and connecting to a VPN.
After you've set up the network and saved your account information:
From the VPN screen, choose Menu > Always-on VPN.
Select the VPN.
Touch OK.
A permanent notification keeps you informed of the always-on VPN's status.

I can't seem to get it to work either.. Iv'e set up an L2TP/IPSEC VPN with a preshared key up, and it connects fine. Everything works but the "always-on" feature...
Iv'e also tried to set it up with my wan ip instead of FQDN, + set one of my internal DNS servers ip in the config, but still always-on wont work.
I still just get the error in the buttom of the screen saying, that it requires both a server ip and a dns server. I've done that, so what the hell does it mean?..
Really hope i can get this feature up and running!...
EDIT:
I had configured the ip address in the name field instead of the server field
It still doesn't work though.. I can without errors set my VPN connection to be always on. But the only thing that happens is that the notification says connecting, and i lose my internet connection. And it just stays that way..

This still doesn't work for me using any of my Nexus devices. I've tried about 5 different VPN of different types.
I just noticed the same issue today on the 4/22 nightly of Cyanogenmod 4.2.2 for the i727 skyrocket. I've only tried with a pptp VPN.
Has someone solved the problem? It still says missing server and DNS IP...
Maybe they'll fix it in key lime pie?
Having looked at CYAN-682 again, it might not include the bug we are experiencing. https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-682
CYAN-682 describes seeing the "always on VPN connecting" message, which I have never seen since I'm not able to select a VPN at all.
The instructions say some VPNs support always on... What feature of a VPN server would allow this??
Will Never Work
PPTP is not supported as the encryption is too weak. Google deemed this so. Sorry!
grrrr google really pee me off with this stuff. i as the user should be able to decide what is secure enough and if i must have a lock on the device if i have a vpn installed.
dear google, i am not an f ing apple user so please dont treat me like one!!!
Got it working....
I figured out how to get "always on VPN" working by trying out...
Here is my conclusion:
1.) PPTP -> Not selectable,
2.) L2TP/IPSec PSK -> Not working,
3.) L2TP/IPSec RSA -> Not working,
4.) IPSec Xauth PSK -> Not tried, but i think it should work
5.) IPSec Xauth RSA -> WORKING:laugh:
6.) IPSec Hybrid RSA -> Not tried, but i think should work
I tried that using racoon ike...

I was also able to get it to work using IPSec Xauth RSA. Thanks!
You have to enter the IP addresses of the vpn server and the DNS server. Apparently only this mode of connection is supported on android.
