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?
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!!!!!

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.
Is there a way that I can connect via VPN to my work's network, but only have it be used for apps that require that pipe? ie, not have all data go over the VPN.
Ex. On my Win7 machine, I can setup the VPN and uncheck the option to "use this as default network connection", so that i still keep my normal internet, but anytime I reference a network address, it properly uses the VPN.
Anything like that for Android?
So I found an app that will allow you to create a WiFi Hotspot in infrastructure mode and not ad-hoc. The phone itself needs to be rooted in order to bypass your carrier's network authentication and set itself up as a WiFi Hotspot setting, but any devices you are trying to connect to the Hotspot will not have to be rooted. The name is WiFi Tether Router and is in the play store. It is a very very useful app. The encryption works lol and so many other things as well. You'll just have to see for yourself! I was able to use it successfully on a my non-rooted Asus tablet connecting to my rooted 4G LTE phone. Worked flawlessly and I didn't have to change hardly any configuration settings, only just the network ssid and password and the channel, but other than that it was great. It also has a data monitor to show data sent and received and total amount of data used, along with managing the clients connected to the Hotspot. Enjoy!
Hello,
I run a firewall at home with a openVPN Server. My phone runs CM11. My purpose is to use the VPN connection all the time for all internet access so I can use my firewall .
In my openVPN Client app I can chooese between two modes when phone goes to sleep:
1: pause VPN and use direct internet access
2: pause VPN and do not use direct internet access
Question: is there no chance to use permanently the VPN connection? When the phone is in standby it should also use the established VPN connection. If tunnel is paused and I use option 2 there is no internet connection while phone sleeps. So also no messages are coming in, no mails are checked and so on. But option 1 is against my purpose to use for 100% the VPN connection. Is there any solution for my purpose?
Wanna give it a new try.
This idea shouldn't be so bad as I think
