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.

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...

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.

Posted here, since I believe this is a general and not device specific issue.
So, I have set up a VPN server on OSX Lion Server edition.
It is using l2tp with preshared key and username/password for login.
i(beep) works fine and connects. Laptop works fine and can connect.
But...
1. When Iam on local network (same IP segment) I can connect using Android native l2tp VPN connection setup with PSK and user/pass.
2. When I try to connect from external (3G or other WiFi net) I am unable to connect.
3. When I enabe native tether on Android device, and connect i(beep) to the Android AP, I still am able to connect from i(beep).
These three steps tells me it is not a carrier issue, and possibly an Android issue.
Did anyone experience this (and even better.....did you find a solution)?
Kinda like the l2tp connection for security, and also Lion natively does not supply pptp connection.

I am trying to do the same thing, I havent got the VPN to function yet though but I think its a router issue among other things. I bought a domain name and I am using that with dyndns to help simplify the ip change issues... I am getting a new router to test here next week so hopefully I'll have a better idea.
However now I am worried I'll run into the same issue as you!! lol... Its been a while since you posted, have you found a solution yet?
No. Didn't find a solution, but you might be correct in assuming its a router issue. Have a Netgear myself, and those have had quite a few issues.

I ended up getting a new Airport and it has pretty cool setup integration with the Server / Airport Utility, however I still cannot connect with the VPN connection.
My initial reason to set this up was to use PLEX... AND this actually works very well if I setup my connection through the PLEX connection settings.. but I still can't get it to work with the Android VPN setup.... (tested 3G and WiFi)
..also I cannot get the VPN to work with a Windows PC... tested a Mac (hackintosh) and it worked instantly...
so I think its a Mac thing maybe... Since PLEX is working... I am happy but would still like to get the VPN connection working properly. I suspect I'll need to call Apple about it though
I am also have a similar issue.
OSX Server running 10.6.8
L2TP VPN and PPTP services running
My iPhone and laptop can connect just fine. My HTC One X and HP Touchpad (CM9) can not. Both say the address can not be resolved. The server is sitting in the DMZ and if I enable the web server both devices can resolve to the default welcome page just fine.
1. It isn't a DNS issues since they can connect via the web
2. It isn't a port issue since other clients can connect
Is there some dumb setting i am missing in the VPN setup?
Thanks

OSX Lion Server L2TP VPN and ICS not working
Hey guys.. I got PPTP to work to OSX Lion Server by making sure PPTP, L2TP, and IPSec forwarding were enabled through my router.
Also, make sure to check the VPN logs in /var/log/ppp/vpnd.log to see why it's not connecting..
I cannot get my Evo 3D to connect to a wireless network secured with 802.1x PEAP MSCHAPv2. I know my login/password are fine. It just hangs on the "Obtaining IP address" and retries, but never connects. I used to be able to connect to the network, but it would have problems staying connected (would show it was connected, but would not transfer data). Now I can't get it to connect. I am able to connect fine using my ipod touch.
I've searched several places and have seen that not being able to connect to enterprise wireless networks occurs across many different android phones and has been a problem for many people for years.
Does anyone have any idea on how to get it to connect? I've tried the Wifi Advanced Config to change things and manually adding the network suggestions that seem to come up the most when searching this problem to no avail.

Wifi at my college campus is setup the same way, I had to use Wifi Advanced Config Editor from the Market (LINK) to correctly configure the settings for the network. The other way to do it is manually editing the wpa_supplicant.conf file in /data/misc/wifi, but it's much harder and easier to mess up.
Good luck!
Yeah, I've messed around with wifi advanced config, but haven't found any settings that work. It's weird because it used to connect. I've flashed the stock rom, my own rom based on stock, and the aosp based roms. None of them will connect.

You could try this
Open Wi-Fi Settings from Settings, Wireless & Networks If need be, write down the SSID of the 802.1x network (Case sensitive) Select Add Wi-Fi network Enter the SSID, select security 802.1x Enterprise, EAP method is PEAP, Phase 2 authentication is None, CA certificate and Client certificate are N/A, Identity is your RADIUS or Domain Authentication username, Anonymous Identity can be left blank, and Wireless password is the password to match your RADIUS or Domain Authentication password.
If you change your password you have to 'forget' the network and start again
Or you could look here

But it is for the network which is hidden. It will not be helpful if you create for visible one.
Try the "Leap WIFI free" app from Play Store
Try the "Leap WIFI free" app from Play Store. Its an app provided by a developer called "OneGuyInABasement".

Hello,
I just bought a new mobile 2 days ago: Samsung Galaxy S3 (International version GT-I9300)
I usually use an Ad-hoc connection network to browse internet from mobiles or another wireless device.
Now, with the new samsung device, i am unable to setup a static ip address to the mobile phone. Can someone please help me?
Note:
I already went through settings --> About Device --> Status --> IP Address marked as unavailable.
And
Settings --> Wi-Fi --> Advanced --> IP address Unavailable
I read on google, we should have had "enable IP address" and i cant seem to find it.
Other useful information: Android version: 4.04
Kernel version: 3.0.15
Thanks for helping in advance.
Kind regards
Takeur
Long press on your connected network and modify. You can only set static ip addresses individually for each network.

Like we both said, once the network is connected, in the list of wireless networks, long press the network and select "Modify".
You cannot set a static IP where you are looking. This would affect all wireless networks and also your carrier network. You would NOT want to be able to do that

The problem: the network never gets connected, as it needs a static IP first.
I understand the long press/ modify network. Even if i do it and configure the AP's IP, i cant setup the IP of my phone still.
Anybody who have the same phone as me, has he had more success please?
You don't need to actually connect. Scan so you can see it in the network list. Try to connect. As soon as you try to connect, even if it fails, you can then long press the network and modify it.

I just set the ip as follow: 192.168.1.30
The gateway is set to 192.168.1.1
Still there is no connection possible.
Cant help there.
Same problem here! Anyone found a solution?
I set the password, I enable Show advanced options, I set the static ip, gateway and DNS BUT the "connect" button(if I make my first connection) or the "save" button(if I chose modify) are greyed out on both cases!
does anyone know why?
p.s. I have done this with success in my Galaxy S2 with ICS!

Try changing your network prefix length to 32/24/16 or 8.
I had everything filled in completely and correctly except I left the length to 24 and the connect button was staying grayed out.
Once I changed it to 32 from the default 24 the button lite up and I immediately connected.

Simply pathetic.
People r making petitions as far as i no. Thanks a lot guys for helping out.
I have this problem too. I had my home WiFi with Static IP configured on my S3 a couple of weeks ago. Then I come back from a vacation, just to realize S3 forgets the WPA2 key to my network. "No worries", I said to myself, and tapped it in again.
Then I set IP settings to Static IP, but the IP address/mask/gateway/both DNS fields are all greyed out! I can't enter anything. This is ridiculous!
EDIT: Forget it guys. I'm stupid. It wasn't greyed out, but it was displaying an input mask in a grey colour. Ugh. Everything's ok.
My WIFI Fix Note 2
Ok, So here was my scenario:
I was unable to connect to my work wifi with hidden SDID and Static IP. Everytime I went to put it in, it wouldn't connect and then my wifi would turn off.
I had to find the app called AT&T Smart Wi-Fi. I turned off the wifi via this app.
After I did that, I went back into my settings and turned on the wifi under the settings dialog and not with this Smart Wi-Fi app. Then it finally let me connect, I managed to goto advanced settings after I was connected added my static IP and was good to go
Good luck everyone!
Hi all,
Does FoxFi work for WiFi tethering when NOT yet rooted, on Dinc 4? Anyone actually tested it? I'm between this and the S III, and tethering will be one of my uses. Since VZ locked S III I think I may get a Dinc 4.
Thanks for any inputs!
I have the Dinc4g, and have not rooted it just yet.
I have been trying to get FoxFi to work. My laptop will connect to FoxFi and receive an IP address via DHCP with no problem (using WPA password). I can successfully ping the phone while connected, but can *not* get out to the internet. I may be rooting sooner than later, as I too need to tether on occasion. In the mean time, I will be settling for a USB tether..
Edit: FoxFi does appear to work if you use the Proxy option (requires the FoxFi add-on). I was able to browse using FireFox after setting up the FireFox network settings to use the Proxy.

Absolutely 100% same issue here, connects, grabs an IP instantly, but it cannot browse out. The proxy-add on gives me instant web access when configured, but obviously I cannot use any other services over the proxy (like RDP, Ping, VPN, etc.) It seems almost like there's a firewall or routing issue on the phone on the NAT side of things. I can ping the gateway (192.168.43.1) but cannot route beyond it.
Can't grab IP
I'm using a Motorola Atrix HD and I can't seem to get my Nexus to grab an IP from FoxFi, even with the app.
working for me right now: FoxFi Addon, Firefox set on 'no proxy'
My friend has a Galaxy Player 5.0 and he can connect to other WiFi Networks(It can connect to our school's network, the public optimumwifi network, etc.) but his house's. All the computers in his house can connect to his Home WiFi. His network name shows up on the Wireless Networks list on his Galaxy Player 5.0. He tries to connect to it. He types in the right WiFi password. It says "Connecting", then "Obtaining IP Address" and then right away, it says "Disconnected". Then when he sees it on the Wireless Networks list again, below his network name, it says "Disabled, secured with WPA/WPA2 PSK" His router is a Belkin G Wireless 957B73 and all his computers in his house can connect to it, but his Galaxy Player. I tried to help him via Skype ShareScreen. I thought it was because of some setting on his router. I told him to go to 192.168.2.1(His Default Gateway) for the Belkin options and stuff and I don't know what to do from there. I'll keep checking thread and will try to reply ASAP to your post replies if need be.

Do you know if he has MAC filtering enabled? if he disables all security does it do the same thing?
You can have him try and clicking on "forget this network" on the droid and then try logging in again

I'm not entirely sure what MAC filtering is, but I'll do some research on that and tell him about it. I'll also tell him to try different option with the security. Thanks!

Every device has a unique identifier called a MAC address, in the security settings you can enable MAC filtering to only let on devices you have listed connect to the network. chances are he dost have it enabled (most people don't use it)

The Galaxy Player 4.0/5.0 have a ton of issues connecting to Belkin Routers for some reason (it's a known issue). What you have to do is create a static IP for the player in the advanced settings. Go to Settings -> Wireless and Network -> Wi-Fi Settings, hit the menu button and then hit Advanced.
After that select "Use static IP". Now you may have to call Samsung to help you with this part since we all have different settings, but I believe your
"IP Address"- should be set to the one that is shown above, however, the last number should be changed a number that's between 2-255 (don't use the same last number )
"Gateway"- is the IP of your default gateway. On your PC (Windows 7) go to "Network and Sharing Center" then click "Wireless Network Connection Status" after that click "Details" and Look for "IPv4 Default Gateway".
"Netmask"- most likely 255.255.225.0, or 255.255.225.1
"DNS 1"- Is the IP of your DNS Server. Again on Windows go type "Run" in the search bar, then type in "cmd" and press enter a black box should pop up. Paste this "ipconfig /all" without the quotes of course and Look at where it says "Ethernet adapter Local Area Connects:" It should be the last one and say "DNS Servers"
