Copy the credentials certificate(s) to tablet's /sdcard (internal memory) or /sdcard2 (external SD memory card; what I do) directory. Go into tablet's Settings. Select Security. Under CREDENTIAL STORAGE, select Install from SD card.

How Can I provide that file ??? where to download if I may?

You get the credentials certificate(s) from your VPN service provider.

True, PPTP VPN connection does not require credentials certificate(s). @wenshaowang, I hope you knew that.
If the VPN service provider offers L2TP/IPsec VPN connection (faster, more secure than PPTP) and you want to use it (I do), most times, credentials certificate(s) are required. Some VPN service providers only require a IPsec pre-shared key which you just simply type in during the VPN configuration. The VPN service provider should have a download link for the credentials certificate(s) or display the IPsec pre-shared key on their web site. If not, contact the VPN service provider via e-mail and ask them to send the credentials certificate(s) or IPsec pre-shared key to you.
Also, check the VPN service provider's web site for instructions for configuring PPTP or L2TP/IPsec VPN connections with regard to their service and Android.
If configuring and connecting the VPN service still fails, read THIS web page, particularly Comment 203, and THIS web page. That is about all the advice I can give on VPN connections.

No, I did not say changing from PPTP to L2TP/IPsec will solve the problem. What I said was L2TP/IPsec is faster, more secure than PPTP.

It doesn't makes any sense , my vpn with pptp connection works fine with my tf101 and galaxy nexus with same config and same wifi and after this stupid update the connection not working with sony s , why I should change any thing to have vpn connection works , how can I contact with sony to resolve this stupid bug?!!!!!

I've got the same **** after the last update., it was working fine before, Sony should do something about it as soon as possible,
What could we do guys?

How to fix VPN in new "beta" Cingular ROM

this ROM uses internet sharing and when I try to use my Cisco VPN dialer... it craps out and says VPN sub-system not avail. It worked fine before through the modem settings..... any suggestions to get it working??? I am at a loss.
and its kind of driving me crazzy because I really need the VPN (but not willing to give up the all the nice enhancements with the new rom)
MetalSiren
P.S. I removed the auto detect on PIE and when I used internet sharing I can surf the web just fine... I dont get it.

Same issue with other VPN clients. The client is not binding to the PAN adapter. I'm looking to get this to work with Check Point client. I'll let you know what I find.
I'm having the same issue... just tried connecting to VPN using cisco client and it hangs up, I tried switching my to TCP (instead of UDP NAT/PAT) and avoided the hanging issue.
Any idea what the port would be if you want to use TCP??

TCO is right. Your VPN software is not binding to the PAN adpater. I don't know if there is a solution to it.

Cisco VPN now runs as a service.... so I dont think a binding would be needed... would it?

Most client run as a service. They still bind to existing drivers....per Cisco:
you must have Administrator privileges to install the VPN Client on Windows NT and Windows 2000 because these operating systems require Administrator privileges to bind to the existing network drivers or to install new network drivers. The VPN Client software is networking software. You must have Administrator privileges to install it.
The problem is with binding to the driver for the PAN adapter. Still poking around to make this work
Any news on how to get VPN to work with AKU 3.X?? is there a way to install the old wireless modem program, so that we can at least have a work around while a solution is developed...

Any get VPN working with DCD 3.2.5?

Has anyone got VPN connectivity working with DCD 3.2.5? I have been trying for hours with no luck. Every time I try to connect I just get the generic unable to connect message (VPN Server problems. Verify your username and password..... I do know its not a user name / password issue. I set the VPN up and administer it. Its a ClarkConnect Community Edition Firewall Router 4.3.
I can however use the phone with Internet Sharing and connect to the same VPN end point with my laptop. I know the VPN is working.
Any one have any experience with this?

I'll be honest. I haven't really tried yet, but I am interested in getting this working myself, as I need to set it up; in addition to somehow getting this damn thing to connect to my school's network - which it has refused to for many weeks now.

Did you try using the kitchen and enabling the Enterprise IPSEC checkbox? It's the first item on the list. I assumed this was for those who needed VPN connections, so have not used it myself personally.

yep you need that for IPSEC vpn, but PPTP vpn would work without it.

PPTP VPN works
Here is what I did:
Configured the VPN connection.
Create a nework exception for a valid DNS name or use wildcards:
*.myvpnconnection.com
Anything you go to in that domain will use the VPN. IE seems to be the only thing that will initiate the connection.
It sounds like you might have something wrong on the server side.

I just setup mine to use the vpn into my office and it worked slick as "stuff"... but we use a MS VPN server with AD...
I'm able to use VPN on 3.2.5 (stock, not cooked in kitchen) It works, but often time I have to soft reset before it will let me connect. Windows even suggests it... I haven't figured out a way around this when it happens, other then to soft reset.
Also I'm having a problem where VPN locks up the phone if I leave it connected, and the phone goes into lower power mode. It won't wake up with power. I have to soft reset.
Lastly, I'm trying to figure out the fastest way to actually launch the connection. It seems horribly buried / inefficent, the way I'm doing it:
I'm going to Start -> Settings -> Connections Tab -> Connections Icon -> Under the VPN Connection hitting "Manage Existing Connections -> VPN Tab -> Selecting the VPN Connection and "right clicking (hold until context menu pops up) and hitting "Connect".
Anyone know of a faster way?
Thanks in advance!!
PPTP and L2TP work fine here. I do have an issue where if I leave the connection live and the device goes to sleep it doesn't wake up and requires a soft reset. It's been like that for a number of revisions. Other than that it works fine.

[Q] OpenVPN Routing Problem

Hello
I have installed OpenVPN and its logging on to the vpn and is visible on the network list BUT I dont get any connection to another client in the vpn. I tried to ping another client from my SGS2 and from a client to the SGS2 but its always a timeout. I tried it with the phone and serveral wireless networks.
So I think it could be a routing issue but I dont have a clue how to see if thats really the problem and if its true how to fix it. I read some other posts and maybe it could also be a tun.ko problem but the SGS2 with 2.3.3 should already have installed it on the software, so I'm not sure how to see if thats ok. The Busybox is installed at /system/xbin. So does anybody have an idea how to find out whats actually the problem and how to fix this?
Thanks for your help!
Manolo
It's not clear to me if you tried connecting through your mobile data plan. Did you also tried that?
What is the IP that you are getting when your are connected to the VPN?
If it something like 192.168.1.* Then that's could be your problem. If the WIFI your are on, also gives you an ip adress as 192.168.1.* then that causes the problem. Either change the ip range of your network to 192.168.10* (just an example) or the ip range of you VPN.
ps can you post your VPN server settings?
Do you mean my own ip or the ip that i have in the vpn?
my own edge telekom ip is 10.219.127.35 and my internal vpn ip is 10.10.0.22
I can't post my vpn server settings because i got some key files for the vpn.
If you have installed installed this .zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16182571#post16182571
Then all you need to do is download openvpn settings from the market. And run in.
If you already did these steps, then the problem lies probably with your server and I need the server config. I don't need the keys of course
Thx!
How does this update work? I see no instructions on the post. Is it just to copy on the root folder?
Ah yes... I found how it goes and its working perfectly!
Thx a lot!

[Q] IPSEC VPN PSK+XAUTH on ICS?

Has anyone tried using an IPSEC VPN connection - type PSK with XAUTH to connect to a VPN?
I've used the settings I've entered on iphones, ipads and with numerous software VPN clients, both Windows and Mac. I simply cannot get it to connect.
I've looked at the logs on the firewall - The SA and username look correct, but it still says that there is no match found.
Has anyone tried this or any other VPN type with any success?
Thanks!
This is a known open issue (bug) - no. 23124
Sucks.
Thanks for the info! Wish it had been better news :-D

vpn server on android mobile

hello lads, I am interested in making Android application that can be use as VPN server, any tips where I can start from ? Is it possible ? I have not see any good topic about this in net
I just wonder why you consider an Android app as a VPN server.
Is it just a portal for a specific LAN? Or do you need a general VPN server for encrypted internet connections?
Even if you can implement basic functions of this VPN server, don't you worry about its concurrent & load capacity as a 'server'? ......
Its definitely possible but you'll have to likely root the phone first.
I turned a rooted Android phone into a VPN server by using the Linux Deploy app and UNIX tools "busy box app" then running CentOS on Linux Deploy. I installed SoftEther VPN Server on CentOS through SSH on the phone.
I wrote about it in a forum. If you google "Turn a flashed to verizon phone into vpn server" it will come up in Aspkin forum and you can see me work through it.
This way is 100% free and SoftEther will tunnel straight through a firewall using port 443 unlike any paid app so you can leave the phone hidden anywhere connected to WiFi and as long as you use SoftEther Client and the DNS host name to connect to the server. It wont work if you use a openVPN or L2TP/IPsec client without opening ports on the router of the wifi connection, or the server IP address (which would be a local ip if connected to wifi hidden somewhere).

Thank you for your reply. I just want to make a VPN server that uses a mobile network and accepts connection from 1 device(concurrent or load capacity or encryption does not matter). It is a small part of my application and not for commercial use. so, everything is possible, to root a device or another way to do my goal.
