VPN traffic not working in Browser - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello All,
I've have a debian server configured as a PPTP server. I configured my phone to connect to it.
It seems that it connect ok and EVERY application works through the VPN excep the browser.
Market, gmail, news and weather, maps.
I tried both the stock browser and dolphin hd but neither of them work.
strange thing is when you open the browser and start typing i get search suggestions so there is traffic going through but when i try to select a search suggestion or go to a webpage it just sits there.
I have torrentdroid installed and i can connect to my local home server when i'm connected to the vpn so the VPN is working....
does anyone have any suggestions?

[Q] Contivity VPN on x10

Hi Guys,
I have been trying to find a VPN app to connect to a Nortel VPN Server. I use the Contivity VPN Client on my computer but can't seem to find an equivalent client for Android.
I have looked around and not found anything that allows that connection.
I would like to use the VPN client to connect to the network and then use the e-mail client to connect to the mail server.
If possible, i would also like to use a RDP client to connect to the computer on the network.

[Q] Wifi with login redirect

I bought my gtab about a week ago and have it running nicely with Vegan. I had some trouble with the market but thanks to this forum got it working
Here is my last real problem. I work at a hotel. We have wifi for our guests which redirects you to a login page when you open your browser. It does not require a password you just have to click a button to accept the terms. Until you do this you have no internet connection. I can connect and even pick up an IP address but it will not go to the authentication page thus no internet. I have tried manually entering the URL for the login page and have also tried the IP address for the login page. I have tried setting a static IP with he correct gateway and DNS addresses. I have even tried the wifi web login app. Nothing works.
Any ideas how I can get this working?

I assume you've tried installing different browsers?

I have tried the stock browser, Dolphin HD, Firefox, and Fennec. I am going to try Opera today. Has anyone had luck with any particular browser?
Hi,
I think some systems like hotel-provided WIFI work by setting a proxy into the browser. If that is the case with your situation, it may require a different kernel, plus an app. Search this forum for "proxy", e.g.:

Okay dumb question of the day. How would I determine if this wifi connection uses a proxy or not?
When I connect from my computer and run a tracert the first hop is the gateway and the second hop is always 192.168.50.1. Would that be the proxy?
I am Currently connected to this wifi with my laptop and I am not behind a proxy. I tried installing the Kernel referenced in the link you provided and also installed transproxy according to the thread still no go.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can get this thing to connect. My wifi indicator is on shows I am connected but no internet.
I've had my gtab connected on hotel wifi, and similarly on airport wifi. If I recall, the redirected confirm page opened in a second tab in the background but was not put in focus. I had to manually switch to citing the TnT browser. If that's not it also look for a floating frame within the same window. I've seen this show up way off to the side, really had to scroll around to find it.
Just checked this no go. I am getting the unable to connect page on every browser I try. I did not see any other tabs popping up either.
Okay so I sent an email to the tech support for our wifi network. They responded and said Adnroid devices have trouble with DHCP because of their network and that it should work if I set a static ip. Now the problem is how do I set a static IP in Vegan. I have tried the app Static IP and it doesnt' seem to wan to work.
Nevermind just figured it out.
Okay for those that are interested or may search and find this thread later. I never would have guessed that would fix it but using a static IP address solved the problem. Thanks to those who tried to help

Not able to access the browser other than default browser!

Hi,
I am not able to access the wifi throgh uc web or any other browser other than the inbuilt one. When wifi is connected ,it is showing that unable to connect or the page cannot be displayed. Please tell me the process for accessing wifi for any browser for my Galaxy S2.please help me..
Check to see if you have a proxy set. I had to delete one to get full function.
Thx, but problem doesn't seem to be related to proxy.

[Q] What's the best wifi proxy app?

Does anyone know of a good app for setting different network/proxy settings per wifi connection? I need a proxy setup for one wifi network and not for another but I don't see anyway to make that setting permanent in UnNamed ROM so time for an app.
It would be great if the app also had per-app proxy settings or intelligent features like FoxyProxy.
I use Auto Proxy for the WIFI at my office. It lets me set it so that it will only connect to the proxy if a certain subnet.
Thanks. I'm actually watching that thread currently. It looks promising but it has one major problem for me.....no proxy.pac support yet.
Any other programs?
There seems to be a solution to the .pac issue here
Thanks for the link. That helps determining what happens in the pac file.
I've tried Autoproxy and ProxyDroid using what I found in the pac file but neither is working quite right for me. They say they're connected but then I'm unable to actually browse anywhere through the default web browser or Dolphin HD. Market place also doesn't work.
I pinged the server name from my computer where the pac file says it's going and got the IP address. I then used the IP address from the pac file to fill in the host destination and port info. It's weird because it says it's connected but traffic doesn't flow. There isn't any authentication that I'm aware of so I'm stuck on what to try next.
Does anyone know of a good external proxy that's safe and reliable that I can do some testing with?

Knips178, try the newest version of Autoproxy. If your network is on a windows domain, it may be using your domain username and password as NTLM authentication, so you can also try that with the IP address you extracted from the proxy.pac

[Q] Market and Other apps not working over wifi?

Hi frnds,
I am having prob. with my college wifi. THe college wifi is 802.1 EAP secured network. So after connecting to the wifi. When i open the browser the browser first open the university's login page where i have to enter my username and pass.
And after clicking on login then i can open any site using the browser only.
But when i open any other app like market it does not connect it shows not network connection.
So the problem i think is that before connecting to the net, the wifi first verify the user identity. That can be done only in browser but entering details but not in case if market.
Hence does anybody know a method by which i can verify the wifi for the whole phone and hence can use any app on it.
Many college WiFi networks are configured not to allow second party apps (for example Android Market) to exchange data via that netowork. U would have to ask your network supervisor on your college if the "blocking second party apps" is true.
The proof, that the WiFi is working correctly is, that u can open any other site via the phone browser.
If u are willing only previews of apps in the market, try to connect to the market site via the phone net browser :]
