Has anyone had any luck getting this to work on the N10?
The app says it connects successfully although I look at the activity on my proxy server and there aren't any incoming connections. I'm able to connect from any pc using putty or tunnelier, can't get this app to work at all.

Turns out it's a problem with the app itself. I ended up getting it to work with SSHTUNNEL which is a different t app. I'm going to write a guide on how to setup your own proxy server and client configuration on pc and android here soon.
It's really easy and a great way to secure your traffic and bypass annoying firewalls.

the best and easiest way that i have come across to this is TeamViewer. works flawlessly. you need to download on every pc you want to remote with...im sure you know how this works. Make an account save all the connections to your account log on from your phone and if the PCs are on and running TV you can connect to them.
Hey boys and girls, first post here =] loving the galaxy s2 (iPhone 4 convert!)
As the title states, has anyone found a way of remotely connecting to a network via 3g with the basic applications being WOL (wake on lan) and file retrieval?
Would be a very handy tool to have to remotely start/shutdown PC's as needed, not sure on the feasibility of creating such an app or if it is already in existence.
Regards,
Josh
I use WOL from Market. Waking up pc's over 3g is a bit of a hit or miss. It will wake up the pc sometimes. I had to make sure port 9 (did both tcp and udp to be safe) was forwarded on my router - in conjunction with a dynamic dns account also in my router settings.
I use a combination of 2x client from the market or teamviewer - they both work well. Teamviewer requires a server on your computer.

I'm trying to setup IPSec VPN tunnel from SGS3 with stock 4.0.4 firmware to Wathguard XTM firewall. Watchguard has official support for using IOS inbuilt Cisco VPN client so I was thinking I might get it working with Android too.
I was following Watchguard guide to setup IPSec for IOS (which url I cannot paste here) and basically settings are following:
Phase 1:
Auth : SHA1
Encryption: AES-128
PFS Group 2
SA life 1h and DPD
Pre-Shared Key
Phase 2:
Type: ESP
Auth: Sha1
Encryption AES-128
Lifetime 1h
No PFS
And in addition theres Active Directory authentication. SGS3 connects to firewall but I get "WARNING: Rejected phase 1 aggressive mode from x.x.x.x to x.x.x.x (no matching policy)" to firewall log, so apparently therese problems with phase 1 configuration. I've checked shared key many times, so I was wondering if anyone knows which auth/Encryption/PFS should be working on Android client and is there any pitfalls should one know?
I too am seeking a work around for the lack of official support for VPN on Watchguard devices. I have an XTM5 and a SGS3 with 4.04 on it. There is a discussion thread here (i can't post a link, so remove the space) http ://community.spiceworks.com/topic/221632-vpn-access-to-xtm-and-xedge-devices-with-droid-or-ipad?page=2#entry-1532015 that is covering the same topic, and apparently some have been successful, but I cannot get any of the VPN types to work. PPTP connects but no network communication. IPSec doesn't connect, even when configured as the directions for iOS explain... Any feedback on the subject would be helpful.
IPSec on Android ICS
Well, I finally got my Android Samsung Galaxy S3 (ICS) phone to connect to the Watchguard XTM 5 Firmware: 11.5.2 using IPSec. I followed the directions given by watchguard for connecting an IOS/OSX device. Then it was a matter of what VPN client to use. The default Android ICS VPN client under network settings would not work. I noticed that Samsung included a Third Party IPSec VPN client "AuthenTec VPN Client v2.5.1" (not able to find it in the Google Play store). This app did the trick with the default IPSec settings for Preshared Key IKEv1, with the Aggressive mode checked. My co-worker has the Samsung Nexus Tablet with Jellybean (4.1.1) and the native VPN tool works from that version, with default settings.
This discovery brings happiness and rejoicing to our entire IT team who all have Android phones or Tabs. I use 2X for RDP, (which works well), and "ES File Explorer" (free) for SMB file browsing. With these two tools I can do just about everything I did on my laptop. Anyone have better or more tools than these?
I have also tested IOS and Mac OSX 10.6.8 native VPN tool and they work well, as well as the original SSL client that has always worked.
WatchGuard should totally go public with this, many would benefit. It works great! (I wonder if there are some security holes that they are aware of that's preventing them from announcing Android support officially...)

Hello,
I faced the same issue for VPN connection to my watchguard.
Where could I find the AuthenTec VPN Client v2.5.1? Is it free ? Not avaiable from the editor's website.
Thanks for your return
It appears that the VPN client on the Samsung Galaxy S3 (USA, Verizon) is not available for other devices...
My phone connects fine, but I have many employees with other phones/tabs that may need this connection as well, so our IT team is in the process of testing out other VPN clients that we found in the google play store. Here is our starter list. We will report back here if we find one that works with our Watchguard settings. Let me know if you find one that works as well. Thanks!

I connected my sgs2 skyrocket to an x550e without problems though it didn't support encryption (gingerbread vpn is broken) haven't tried with my sgs3 (running ics) yet but might try tonight.

One of our guys got the Google Nexus Tablet with Android Jelly Bean (4.1.1) to work with the Watchguard XTM 5 - IPSec VPN.
He was using the Android built-in VPN client.
These were the settings he used:
ipsec exauth: psk
ipsec identifier: mobile
We tested all the apps that I previously listed and no success. It seems that some of them have a lot of settings, and maybe with more testing one of them might work... But I doubt it.
so after much testing, even with my new XTM515 (before i had a x550e - though i remember getting it working on that with no encryption....)
on my XTM515 i can get connected but cannot pass traffic....
i followed the steps on the watchguard document "Set up IPSec VPN connectivity from an Android device [Fireware XTM v11.5.x and higher" step by step.
now its time to play with it myself, if i get anywhere i'll let you know.
What im seeing is that i can connect, but no traffic is being sent (very few packets, if any.. i.e 1 packet here and there)
Opened a trouble ticket with watchguard and after a few days of troubleshooting still unable to get it working on a sgs3..
The official response now is that ipsec is broken on our phones..
WatchGuard was able to connect to my vpn with other android phones but they didn't have a sgs3 to test..
Then they sent me links of other people with other people having the exact same problem
Seems its samsung specific and not android specific. Not sure what samsung does to change ipsec... But it's broken...
With my ios device before I came over to the dark side, ipsec with the watchguard worked perfectly fine...

You need to generate it from policy manager..
Under vpn - mobile vpn - ipsec - press generate button
Also mobile vpn with SSL is not the same thing as ipsec and will not work

Hi Guys,
I have 3 android devices (xperia s, htc one x and a galaxy s3) connected to a wifi network. This is kind of a protected network and there is a firewall involved. Also the devices are getting IP via DHCP. The problem is that i am able to access web site via browser but when i try from the application, its showing i don't have internet connection. There is no proxy configured in this network. There is an IP filtering in the router which filters the IPs starting with a particular series. But the web site and the application which i am trying to use are supposed to use this IP series.
I've come across issues with internet connections on mobile devices. This might not work for you, but it has worked for me in the past.
I assume your devices detect all of the settings you need automatically?
If so, you may need to manually change some things.
1) Check your IP and make sure it's set right for your network
2) Check your DNS settings. Sometimes the default ones don't work properly.
Try:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
These are from Google's OpenDNS and have served me well in the past.
If all else fails, check the network itself.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply.. but as i mentioned earlier, the device is getting IP and other stuffs via DHCP. I am not allowed to configure something statically. It has to come via DHCP. But the interesting fact is that an iPAD in the same network is able to get internet in both browser as well as applications.
Hey, if you need to get settings via DHCP then you should talk to your network admin for the settings

I am getting all the settings perfectly.. hope haven't read my first post.. i am able to browse via browser.. the problem is with the apps.. that y am confused about.. i know this kind of a problem may arise when we have a proxy configured in the network.. but we dont have a proxy in the network.. in fact an ipad hooked up to the same network works totally fine..
Did you get your apps working?
Nope..still facing the same issue.. internet is available in browser. but not in the apps..
There is no problem with your phone. I am sure that changing your router will fix this problem. Try another router with your internet connection and tell me if that worked.
Press thanks if I helped you!
We have tried that as well.. The situation got little worse with the new router. Now Internet is not working with ipad as well. But it's working in browser for both ipad and android. Another thing I have observed is that the Web pages load blazing fast in a windows and blackberry but the same site loads very slow in android and ios. As I mentioned earlier, the network is having a high security with firewall and encryption. Is there any limitations for android and ios to work with these kind of highly secure network??

I think that the firewall is the main culprit. Try disabling the firewall if you can.

Ya.. even i feel the same... but its a secure network and firewall is a vital part.. so we cant disable it.. is there any known limitations for android to work with firewall or networks with these kind of setup.
Just mess with WiFi settings

Hi - I was experiencing this on a Galaxy Nexus with no SIM card only connected to WiFi - on a WiFi router that used to work.
The solution was to
1. Open up DHCP settings on the phone (Settings -> WiFi -> My Network -> Advanced)
2. Manually set them to something that's wrong.
3. Save.
4. Set DHCP back to what it was.
5. Save.
May not work for you, but for me, after about 30 seconds the app store and other apps started working again without having to do a factory reset or doing anything to my router/network.
Let me know if this helped!
I have had no luck trying to get my vpn to work on my g3. It will connect and run but after a minute or so I will be unable to download or upload any data. I use a paid vpn with unlimited bandwidth so the server isn't the problem. Its client side. It doesn't work from the app from the provider or manually from settings.
Does anyone know ofbany workarounds. The compression usually gives me moderately better speeds and I pay $30 a year for this service and I am now unable to use it.
Any help appreciated.

Try Cisco's Anyconnect. It's free. It works on my Nexus 7 and my G3.
In general, you don't need to connect through a third party app as android has a built-in VPN client. So try to use the built-in one and if you still face the stability problem, switch the protocols from pptp to l2tp or vice versa.
Also, make sure the network router/firewall permits GRE protocol 47 (You will want to find and enable a "PPTP passthrough" feature on your router that knows how to handle the GRE packets). In fact both port 1723 and GRE protocol shoyld be opened/enabled to establish VPN connectivity by using PPTP.
Hope it could solve the problem.
