[Q] Contivity VPN on x10

Hi Guys,
I have been trying to find a VPN app to connect to a Nortel VPN Server. I use the Contivity VPN Client on my computer but can't seem to find an equivalent client for Android.
I have looked around and not found anything that allows that connection.
I would like to use the VPN client to connect to the network and then use the e-mail client to connect to the mail server.
If possible, i would also like to use a RDP client to connect to the computer on the network.
any suggestions?
thanks guys

i tried vpn client in my droid still cannot connected to vpn nortel.

Android Mini-PC - help me please !!

Greetings to you all !
Recently i bought an Acer Iconia A1-810 (wich i rooted second two) and a Android Mini-PC QuadCore S400 (Cozyswan). The reason i bought the MiniPC is that i need some small computer as a web-server in my car to provide me two things:
- offline large and detailed maps (very usefull when offroading)
- media server when camping
Now...the MINI-PC must be a server, with an fixed IP address (192.168.1.200 let's say). It also must be some kind of on wi-fi hotspot, for the multimedia server purpose, but has to keep same fixed IP (as gateway) - but i cannot manage to configure it. Also, cannot find an web-server that has "auto-start" feature.
Please note that when offroad, i dont have any kind of internet connection.
So....how can i make that MiniPC to serve those purposes:
a. file server, wich must have "auto-start" feature with a static IP address ?
b. to behave like an wi-fi router
c. if it is possible to manually assign an IP address to the MiniPC, is there any software that can provide me some sort of "remote desktop connection" to the MiniPC ??
Sorry for my poor English and thank you for your input
Chris.

[Q] VPN Hostname Problems...

Not positive this is the best forum for this, but here's an issue I'm having:
I utilize an IPSec VPN to connect to a "work" network to get access to a specific internal website, however, once on the page, further links from the page go to a shortened hostname ("servername" instead of "servername.domain.dom"). For some reason on my devices (GS5/Kindle Fire HD; 4.4.2 and 4.4.4) have no problem finding the page utilizing the "servername.domain.dom" but they show "website cannot be found" when it switches to just the hostname. This is annoying as each link I follow beyond the main page I have to edit the URL to.
My computers at home (Win 7 and OSX 10.9), my iOS devices, as well as our Android 4.4.2 powered tablets at work (stock android VPN app, same webpage shortcut on the home screen) all have no problem following the switch to the shortened hostname. My iOS devices have been tested on LTE/Wi-Fi; the work tablets operate on Wi-Fi (NOT the network it VPNs to) and 3G/LTE. My personal devices (all) are on AT&T, "work" devices are on Sprint
What am I missing here? (I setup the tablets @ work, thus I'm really at a loss for what I'm missing to do on my personal stuff)
Unfortunately I have no control over VPN settings/protocols... I'd love to figure out why this is happening only on my devices...

[Q] Is it possible to host a proxy on your android device?

Hi
Just wondering if anyone has been able to configure there android device to act as a proxy?
This may seem a silly request, but here in the UK, they have started filtering websites.
I now use my mobile to browse most of the times as the ISP Courts have not reached the Mobile providers.
So to avoid me going back and forth between devices, am wondering if its possible to just host a proxy on my
Android device.
So when using Cellar data (Not on WIFI) i can use the proxy on my android, In my PC browser, to continue browsing without restrictions?
I have paid for the app Server Ultimate pro, But can i for the love of god, Configure it to work as a proxy would.
(Keep in mind, i have installed Squid and configured on a couple of VPS)

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.
