My problem:
I need to be able to connect by VPN back to my production network. The VPN connection is to a Cisco PIX 515e. Since it's not an ASA appliance Anyconnect does me no good.
My Question:
To install VPN Connections, which I understand works well with a Cisco device, I need to root the Tab. What gotchas do I need to look out for in rooting the Tab? What advice can you give? Are there other options to connect to my PIX other than VPN Connections?
Because of my IT job I have used just about every device out there, but this is my first exposure to Android and I don't want to brick the thing.
I too, would like to know this, as I am also using a Cisco PIX 515e.

I have gone through the steps in the development post for [Module] tun.ko for stock 2.6.32.9 (for openvpn/vpnc/etc), http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013513. I am still unable to connect to my companies Cisco VPN router. I have rooted my Atrix and confirmed that tun.ko is running. Every time I try VPN Connections, it will not connect with no response after an attempt. I have also tried VPNC Widget which tells me "0:unexpected operatorError: root access missing! Waringin:'Advanced Routing' feature missing - VPN Conectivity might be lost after a while"
VPN access is all I am missing to get RDP working, at least I hope as I can use it on my home domain with my Windows server.
I am somewhat new to Android devices, other than tinkering with my old AT&T Tilt with Android 2.2 on NAND. Any help to resolve is much appreciated.
I am still unable to connect through my company's VPN. I have found out that we use a Cisco 3000 Concentrator. If anyone else has had luck with this model, I would like to hear about it.
I had a lot of issues getting mine to work too..
After hours of hunting and lots of logcats later I figured out VPNConnections is very picky about your busybox version. Something to do with the output of the ps command.
Check this thread (Mostly my last two posts on page 5): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13859822
Cliff Notes version:
I got it working with VPN Connections .6, Busybox 1.17.1, and the tun.ko posted by rozzco in that thread.
BB 1.17.1 is available from Stericsons BB installer under alternate versions.
If you need the APK for it or the VPN app lemme know and I'll post it.
FWIW, I never got VPNC widget to work. I had your same error,
I tried your suggestions, using the specific versions. Still no luck. Look at logcat, it appears to attempt to connect but ultimately finishes with "process stderr: no response from target".
scoob8000 do you know what VPN device through which you are connecting? I don't know if it is a issue with the Cisco VPN 3000 Concentrator we are using. There was a mention of retiring the device, but they do not know when or with what it will be replaced.
Did you try this one?

That is the VPN Connections app scoob8000 has mentioned.

From memory I think it's juist a old 26xx series router.. (Don't quote me on this lol)
It almost sounds like your at least hitting the network. Can anyone try to see your attempted connections on the concentrator?
Working IPSEC VPN Client for Cisco VPN Concentrator
I know this is an old thread, but thought I would post an update anyway.
I recently started looking for a VPN client I could use with our Cisco VPM Concentrator, and ran across the one mentioned in this topic, VPN Connections. I installed it from the same link also posted by lhurtado earlier.
I think this may be a newer version than what was available at that time, though. Either way, I've got it working without any issues, and I'm able to VPN into my network, and use RDP without any issues.
I did try this on a non-rooted Asus Transformer TF-101, and it did not work. I only got a "Failed to Connect" message in VPN Connections. I'll have to see if I can find the logcat mentioned previously for any information on why it is failing, but I'm guessing the stock Kernel/ROM does not have tun.ko.
Here's the specs on what I've got:
Acer Iconia A500 (rooted), custom ROM (Taboonay 2.2) and Kernel (HoneyVillain 3.4)
BusyBox 1.19.2
VPN Connections 0.99
2X Client
Cisco VPN Concentrator 3005
Hope this helps someone else who is looking for a VPN client that works with the Cisco VPN Concentrators.
As long as your kernel support tap/tun configs, you can use the VPN Widget. I use it with our cisco equipment at the hospital I work for. It works like a champ! You will need to get your information to get it to work properly but its the only one I have found so far to work out of the box (with the proper kernel).
As for the OP, being this is an old thread I sure he gave up- however if he was trying to RDP using the hostname, that is not possible (without hackery). Always use your IP until we have CIFS support. NetBIOS name are not resolved on a linux platform without it. I use RDP/VNC with my VPN over 4G almost daily.
Beating a dead horse
OK...First off, thank you to everyone for looking into this.
I'm a Network Engineer that has the pleasure of supporting a Cisco 3030 VPN Concentrator from the stone age. For those with Iphones we just give the Facutly/Staff the IPSEC/PSK and use the native VPN client and all is well.
The Androids (which I'm a die hard fan of) don't work....UNTIL version 4.0.x arrived.
There is an app called VPNCILLA (or for those rooted VPN WIDGET) that works with the old style concentrators. VPNCILLA has a 10 day trial, but afterward is a $4.95 one time fee.
They both work flawlessly and are easily setup.
Just wanted to pass the word in case the one person in the world out there is still trying to get it to work (like me).
Thanks

Hi
I have updated the Tab to Touchwiz today.
I read that Cisco VPN was meant to be available - and yet I can't see it.
Am I missing something?
Do I need to download from somewhere?
I tried AnyConnect ...is that the one?
It does not seem to work with our VPN Setup
M
I'm with you. I don't see a Cisco VPN app, and the native VPN seems unchanged.
I downloaded the one from the market and it worked. It is listed as Anyconnect. Tab 10.1 is not listed but it works.
Does it only work with certificate mode? Our VPN is set up with group password
Our network at work uses Group Secret IPSEC Cisco VPN with RSA Secure ID cards. I'm currently lead tech on the IPAD2 project to get all our executives using IPAD2's. We got them working without the anyconnect software using the built in Cisco VPN on the IPAD2. It connects faster than anything I've used before. Flick VPN on at the switch and it's there as soon as you put in the password. Very slick.
I was hoping for something similar on the Galaxy Tab just so I know it works. I'll download the update over the weekend and give it a shot early next week.
Once we get that working, I'll just have to get Citrix connectivity going and I'll be laughing
Did you look under Setting>Wireless and networks>VPN

Hi
yes I checked under the VPN settings - but they do not seemed changed since the update. Nothing seem to match the credential I need to input like a group password authentication
i can confirm also that its not there :/
Dang. I was really hoping TW had this as advertised. I can't connect to a lot of university services from home without AnyConnect. Part of the reason I picked up the SGT10.1 was to read PDFs I downloaded from EBSCO for my research.
Cisco AnyConnect for Samsung devices is the VPN that was referenced as being supported after the update. It's an SSL VPN client. If you are using IPSEC then I think you can use the native Android VPN.
From my understanding, SSL needed deeper access to the OS in order to function and that's why the TouchWiz update is fixing it... because somehow TouchWiz has access to those areas of the OS that were locked. It already worked if you had root... same deal I guess. Deeper access.
Please keep in mind the following:
To use the Cisco AnyConnect, you will need to download the app from the market. Once you do this, you must make sure your ASA has the AnyConnect Mobile license on it. If it does not, you will not be able to use AnyConnect on your Tablet.
I have it working on mine, pre-TW and will test it after I install TW.

And I had it from the market from before and can tell you that after the TW update
it's able to ping our VPN server properly and properly prompt for login details. Now to get IT to enable the license for access....

Moving to Q&A
I tried almost every VPN app for my new Samsung 10.1 4G LTE, and I was never been able to connect my ssl server. I can do it through my iPhone using anyconnect but not from my tablet. Some of the Apps say it is for "Rooted" type. I am new here. and I don't know how to root my Tablet to access my SSL site. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cisco Anyconnect works "natively", I mean, without rooting, in Samsung devices. In my Tab 10.1 I routinely use Anyconnect for vpn to my company's network.
I tried Rooted AnyConnect. I also tried Entree AnyConnect Compatible among others as well, but I couldn't get them to work.. I had no problem with my iPhone. What is the name of the App you are referring to?
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
Hello
I need to connect to my companies network using the Cisco AnyConnect VPN client. At the same time, I also need to use my companies web proxy, when I wish to access the internet and even some internal sites.
Would anyone know, how this can be configured on rooted Nexus 5 or 7 devices (with OmniRom) and on a Note 3 with stock rom, all using Android 4.4.4?
I do know that I can set a http proxy in the Wi-Fi connection settings and also for the mobile data connection. But this does not seem to have an effect, when I connect to the VPN.
Well…? Any ideas how to set this up? Would be quite a blast - company is actually considering buying iPhone 6 Plus… :crying: For rather obvious reasons, that's not my preferred solution
Thanks a lot,
Alexander
