Hello,
i have a Question to the standard Android VPN Client because i cant test it:
- If i connect my VPN after i started my Smartphone,- what happens when my mobile Data Connection lost? Do Android perform an auto reconnect to the VPN when the data connection is restored?
Greetings,
Blade
The basic client will lose the connection and not reconnect.
But you could look for apps which do auto-redial.
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.

Hello,
I run a firewall at home with a openVPN Server. My phone runs CM11. My purpose is to use the VPN connection all the time for all internet access so I can use my firewall .
In my openVPN Client app I can chooese between two modes when phone goes to sleep:
1: pause VPN and use direct internet access
2: pause VPN and do not use direct internet access
Question: is there no chance to use permanently the VPN connection? When the phone is in standby it should also use the established VPN connection. If tunnel is paused and I use option 2 there is no internet connection while phone sleeps. So also no messages are coming in, no mails are checked and so on. But option 1 is against my purpose to use for 100% the VPN connection. Is there any solution for my purpose?
Wanna give it a new try.
This idea shouldn't be so bad as I think
Hi, I want to block all apps from accessing internet via firewall on my phone and allow internet connection only via Wi-Fi tethering for my PC. Which system app/apps should I whitelist to have internet access on Wi-Fi tethering?
Some of my Android 11 devices with Always-On VPN apps ignore VPN tunnels when in Sleep Mode, even though "Always-On" and "Block Connections Without VPN" are enabled in Android Network & Internet settings. Local DNS resolver logs show that Android Sleep Mode WiFi activity includes Android devices attempting to resolve Google domains, such as google.com, connectivitycheck.gstatic.com, and play.googleapis.com outside of VPN tunnels using WiFi-assigned DNS resolver address instead of VPN-set resolver address. The same devices do use VPN tunnels in Sleep Mode when receiving email and other internet data. That means that VPN tunnel connection persists and isn't dropped in Sleep Mode.
It is almost as if there is a forced Android-set VPN Split Tunneling that can't be configured in any VPN apps. The same behavior happens with all VPN apps and protocols, but not on all devices. Disabling or enabling Battery Optimization for VPN apps makes no difference.
Some say that Captive Portal check is the issue, but none of following ADB Shell Captive Portal commands resolve this issue for me:
settings put global captive_portal_detection_enabled 0
settings put global captive_portal_server localhost
settings put global captive_portal_mode 0
settings put global wifi_watchdog_on 0
settings put global wifi_watchdog_background_check_enabled 0
pm disable com.android.captiveportallogin
This behavior is similar to how Android devices use carrier/SIM-card WiFi calling that also bypasses installed VPN apps and exclusively uses IPSec 3GPP ePDG tunnels to make/receive calls and/or SMS/MMS. Only app-based WiFi calling (WhatsApp, Viber, Skype, Telegram, Signal, etc.) and other internet apps can use installed VPN app tunnels.
There is definitely no way to tunnel carrier/SIM-card WiFi calling through installed VPN apps, but is there a way to prevent Android devices in Sleep Mode from trying to connect to google.com, connectivitycheck.gstatic.com, and play.googleapis.com outside of VPN tunnels? Connecting to those Google domains outside of VPN defeats the point of using a VPN!
