[Q] Tethering thorugh VPN? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm starting school soon, and I'll have access to a VPN that uses Cisco anyconnect software. If I connect to the VPN using my phone, will tethered computers be routed through the VPN, and does the VPN cover all ports and data? I want to run the VPN client on the phone, not the PC.

ATT 8525 Internet Sharing And Cisco VPN

Hi
I update my cingular / att 8525 with the new rom that replace the wireless modem with the internet sharing. The internet sharing worked fine.
Some time when my home high speed internet goes slowly, I use my 8525 as a wireless modem to connect to my work computer via Cisco VPN version 3.66.
After upgrade to the new rom that uses internet sharing, I cannot connect to my work computer as before the upgrade. As soon I run the VPN Client, and the VPN do all registration, I not longer have internet access. When I run Remote Desktop to connect to my work computer, I got an error that I can't find the computer. If I open the internet explorer (IE) to go any site, the IE can not find any size. If I disconnect the VPN connection and repair the internet sharing I can browse the internet.
I contact the HTC support with not result. I want to know if someone that has not upgrade the rom yet, can send me the wmodem files from the windoew directory to see if I can get the wireless modem working or if some one has any correction options.
Regards,
Gilberto Fres
The latest Cisco VPN client (v5.0) fixes this.
I installed the Cisco VPN version 5 in work computer to test. I disconnect from the network and create a bluetooth connection between my 8525 and the PC. I got internet access thru the phone. I launch the VPN and the VPN connect to the network. I check for internet access and was still there. The only problem is that when I ping any computer in my work network, I dont get any reply. I still can't connect to any computer in my work network, but this time with this new version of VPN, I'm not losing the internet.
If posible to get the WModem software that is the wireless modem instead of internet sharing?
Regards

Sounds like a bug that was in the Beta v5.0 client. Are you connecting to a Cisco VPN concentrator? I'm using a 3020 w/o issues on the production client (has official Vista support).
My laptop runs Windows XP however..

Possibly because DNS isn't working thru the VPN client? Can you ping or RDP by IP address?
Or, do the hard coded proxy settings affect VPN? Have you tried disabling the proxy?
Hi
The version of the Cisco VPN is 5.0.00.0340. I'm connecting to cisco 3000 server. If I trying to ping any computer on my work network after the VPN connect, gave me time out all the time, but I could connect to the internet using the Internet Explorer.
Playing with this yerterday, in the control > network connection, I pick the property of the connection made by the 8525. I went to the properties. In the Advanced tab I click the option "Internet Connection Sharing" to see if the VPN work and I received a message that the connection to the internet can be lost. I lost the connection and went back to the property dialog box. When I click the Advanced tab, the all "Internet Connection Sharing" section not longer showing up in the "Advanced" tab.
Right now the phone connect to the PC, but I don't have any internet in the PC. How I can disabled this "Intenet Connection Sharing" when this doesn't show up in the Advanced tab of the network connection properties?

I've got the AKU3.5 ROM loaded on my 8525 but I've not tested the Cisco VPN client with it. My responses have been based on my TyTN which runs my WM6 ROM. I'll pair up my laptop with the 8525 later today and test.

Did you test your 8525 with the Cisco VPN Client?
Gilberto
Forgot about it.... I'll be home in 2hrs & will test then.
also: are you tethering via USB or Bluetooth?
Testing complete. Tethered my laptop to my 8525 using USB. Connected to my 3020 concentrator with Cisco VPN client v5.0.00.340, logged in and successfully browsed to our internal-only (RFC1918 CIDR block) intranet portal site.
I am using IPSec over UDP (NAT/PAT).
Looks like the 8525 Internet Sharing/v5.0.00.340 client combination works for me.
Sleuth255
Our company concentrator is the 3000 not the 3020 that you use for the test.
Look like I have to wait to HTC release the update to WM6 and lockely if the will include the DUN package in the update.
I got the VPN connect but can't sent and received any package thru the VPN. I still have internet browsing capability, but I can't ping any computer in my work network.
Thank Sleuth255 for your information.
Gilberto
are you also IPSec over UDP?
hey all, does anyone know if there are any free/opensource vpn client WM5/WM6 software? I've tried Antha and Bluefire VPN. I had great success with Bluefire VPN but a license costs $79. Antha was just a bit too unstable.
Any recommendations?
I'm not aware of any that can do 3DES other than the two you mentioned. Let me know if you find one!
Sleuth255
Yes is IPSec over UDP.
Gilberto
can your shar VPN software?

[Q]ADHOC Network (PC client shares ICS with ADHOC on mobile)

Greetings!
Is it possible (is there an application for it maybe) to create ADHOC network on android mobile phone that DOES NOT share mobile's phone internet connection? PC client with internet will connect to mobile's phone access point and share its internet with the phone!
My situation is as follows:
I have a PC with Win7 Ultimate! Modem that connects to the internet is Huawei cable ADSL (non-wireless). It is configured in BRIDGE mode and set in windows to share its internet connection! I have integrated WiFi - AP b/g card on my motherboard.
I have configured the ADHOC network with WEP encryption on my PC, so my other devices (laptop and my mobile phone, which is HTC HD2 with ANDROID ROM) can connect to my PC and have internet access!
THIS CONFIGURATION, for some reason, DOES NOT work. My laptop and my mobile phone, who are clients, CAN'T CONNECT to my PC ADHOC network! They can detect the network, however they get stuck at "acquiring network address".
My laptop has Win7 Home Edition, so, I have created ADHOC network on him with WEP encryption. Both my PC and my mobile phone, CAN detect the laptop's access point and CAN CONNECT TO IT! My PC (client) then shares his internet connection with laptop (AP) and my mobile phone (client)!
So, in order to have internet through WiFi with my phone, I have to turn on PC and my laptop.
Since I can't connect with my mobile phone on my PC's ADHOC network, I want to try the opposite. I want the mobile phone to be an ADHOC access point WITHOUT internet connection, and my PC will act as a client WITH shared internet access!
Is this possible? If yes, is there an application that can do this (other applications on the market, for example: Barnacle WiFi Tether can create ADHOC network, but WITH internet sharing... I need without)!

Android VPN + Tethering

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.

[Q] Cannot use work VPN when tethered to S4

I noticed recently that I cannot connect to any VPNs from any device connected to my S4 through wireless tether. This has probably been a problem, I just have not needed to use it. I am not using any third party software for tethering, but I am using HyperDrive ROM.
I CAN connect to my home PPTP VPN from my phone, but connecting to the same VPN through a computer or tablet tethered to that phone fails. I also tried connecting two different laptops to my work VPN (SonicWall SSLVPN) and in both cases it says it cant reach the host. I did verify the host was available and I can even ping it and even connected to the VPN through my home wireless.
Is there a VPN pass through option I am missing somewhere?

I have the same but it just started happening on 8/9. I've been using my work VPN for over a month and now its just either disconnects after a few seconds or can't connect.

[Q] Run tethered data through a VPN connection

On my phone I connect to a VPN connection, this woks great on the phone but when I tether to my iPad the iPad's traffic will not be ran through the VPN. (I would have to manually connect to the VPN on my iPad)
Is there a way to make tethered internet route through the devices VPN connection?
Thanks.
Technically, it's possible but it might depends on the VPN client you use.
In my case, F-Secure Freedome (a VPN client) is running on my Note 2. I have Note 2 tethered to an Ubuntu machine and an Android tablet. My tablet and laptop post a Germany IP address, while I am on the other side of the ocean.
Make sure that your data plan allows tethering.
Make sure that you are on the cell network. However, USB tether to Wifi VPN on the phone works a bit better. I keep my connection dropped when going all over over the air.
Depending on your flavor of Android your mileage may vary
Note 2 and the tablet are running 4.4 (CM 11 nightlies), Ubuntu is on 14.04.
