Looking for a solution to what seems to be a common PPTP VPN complaint. I understand that Google does not like PPTP. I have it setup on a Cisco router and it seems to be working great. My issue / questions is, I need an application or advice on how to get the connection to auto reconnect when it drops.
Due to company policy I have not rooted my HTC one running 4.4.2.

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..
Hi.
I want to connect to a vpn server by PPTP.I can connect to the server over 3G,but It doesn't connect over WiFi.
Sometimes when I turn on Fly Mode,it connects,but this happens sometimes.Also I'm sure that vpn server is up and running.
But there's no problem when I want to connect to that server by L2TP/IPSEC with PSK.
My Phone is Galaxy S3 running Android 4.0.4.
Please guide me how to fix this problem.
Thank you

As ridiculous as it sounds, this is a known bug in ICS.
It may (or may not) be fixed in JB (you'll have to ask someone else).
However, as ICS allows you to use third-party VPN protocols, there are some great OpenVPN clients in the market, if your VPN provider supports it. This is the solution I had to accept
Both CM10 as well as the leaked JB ROM from Samsung fix all VPN issues for me.
I just did a PPTP connection with my router running DD-WRT and didn't have any problems. The only problem that I did have is that once I am connected I can't disconnect without doing a reboot which could be a problem with CleanROM 2.0 that I am running. At any rate it, it routed all of my data through the VPN.
I can connect to vpnreactor servers with PPTP just fine, but trying my DD-WRT box is always unsuccessful. Hopefully with stock JB it will work for me.
The OpenVPN client from PLAY works great when connecting to our Cisco 527 router at the office. No worries at all to setup and use.
Using the Citrix receiver works well through it as well. AWESOME
Hello,
So basically, after upgrading to Jellybean my tablet was running kinda slugging so from what I read, a hard reset may be in order. Before the reset, it was connecting fine to wifi at my corporate environment, it was just a little lagging. After the hard reset, I am unable to connect to 802.1x with PEAP authentication and MSCHAPv2. It just scans and scans, authenticating then scans again and finally with "avoided poor internet connection". Never the "authentication failed" or Unable to authenticate, just avoided poor internet connection. I am sitting next to an access point so I know its not poor.
I know that there is an option to disable (uncheck) the Avoid Poor Internet Connection in Jellybean because I am running a CyanogenMod 10 on my Evo and it connects to our corporate environment fine, so what else can I be looking for? I know that there is a bug listed in the AOSP bug tracking site (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=34212) and there is a supposed patch already implemented, is it possible that Asus did not patch this?
I really need to get this tablet to connect to my corporate environment as I am part of the team that is working on implementing VDI and need it to connect to our wireless. Any input is valuable.
Thanks
I've posted this in the HTC forum for my mobile and realized that this may be more of an Android directed inquiry.
I've been able to use Wifi Tethering (from Google Play) (version 2.0.7) to successfully connect a Motorola Xoom to my HTC One X mobile via bluetooth. However, when I connect to my VPN service with my mobile, I no longer have active internet access with the Xoom. The bluetooth connection is still active but when I try to surf the internet the browser just hangs and then errors out. I was wondering if there was something I could do with the DNS settings with the VPN service or IP routing on the mobile to fix this issue.
Can anyone provide a little direction on where to begin troubleshooting this issue? I've Google'd this issue to death for the past four hours and have had zero luck finding anything regarding VPN's and bluetooth tethering. I have found similar issues with WiFi tethering but I believe that protocol works differently. I could be wrong though!
My X1 connects reliably to all manner of wifi hotspots, using DHCP, but since upgrading to 4.4.2, it cannot connect to the Brocade equipment here. As far as the Brocade is concerned, it seems to see no DHCP requests. Anyone seen this kind of problem before? Or have a fix?
