Hi to all,
i'm trying to connect to my work cisco vpn, but on foliomod1.4 i can't find ipsec like vpn on galaxy S.
i tried using one vpn but doesn't works.
Somebody can help me?
tnks
I don't know of any cisco VPN client for android, but you can tried to set a regular IPsec VPN connection towards a cisco concentrator, ASA, or IOS router. Are you using certificates or a pre-shared key?
IPSec is quite hard on CPU if you have a choice you can ask for a layer 2 VPN instead.
I use Android's native PPTP VPN connection to manage computers at my office or at my home if I need to do something when I'm not physically present.. If my phone is connected to the VPN however, and I tether my internet connection to my tablet, I can't seem to get access unless I make a second VPN connection from my tablet.
Does anybody know how to share VPN access to tethered devices? I'm sure its possible, just not sure how to make it happen...
possible solution see cross-link
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33749904&postcount=10
And why are you trying to do that?
I haven't tested vpn "sharing" , but it is simple to vpn with the tethered device to the vpn server. Wifi tether passes the vpn traffic fine.
I will poke around with it sometime.

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.
Hello
Before android 4 there was a vpn option which let you use l2tp protocol without ipsec, on android 4 google decided to remove it and force l2tp/ipsec
The reason for this is
The old l2tp connection are working solid while l2tp/ipsec is blocked in my country
Is there any way and by way I mean hack, app, settings .. anything will let me use l2tp vpn without ipsec?
Current android ver is 4.0.3
Rooted
I have a vpn provider PIA.
But that don't care much. The problem only occur on my android phones (4.4.4 and 5.0)
Problem: I am at home, when android phone connected to vpn, i can't access other computers on my local network (no chromecast, samba share and the rest)
It's not a problem of the VPN provider, because i also have my own hosted VPS with a openvpn server on it, same issue.
At home with vpn on
Windows 8 pc with PIA vpn client. I can still access my LAN (192.168.1.1 for example).
Apple iPad with Openvpn client: I can still access my LAN
Nexus 5 - android 5.0 (with root access) - PIA vpn client / OPENvpn / PPTP vpn: cannot access my LAN.
No firewall or any other protection app on my nexus 5.
Router: ASUS RT-AC68U
192.168.1.x network.
255.255.255.0 submask
My ow suggestion is that i need to add a static route on my android device or just the opposite -> don't push LAN traffic over the vpn. But how to accomplish this?
This is maybe the same problem?
Another link with maybe some information?
