VPN help required - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have several android boxes which run Hola VPN, but my friend gave me his CS918 box to install it on it. This box will not allow me to run any VPN at all, it just keeps disconnecting all the time, even with a paid VPN I have on trial
Hola throws up a message about superuser access denied, but I do not have this installed on the device at all
Can anyone help me please?

I'm afraid, Hola need Rooting on Android versions below 4.0. It's because Hola's Android API is not available on older versions (Android 2.3.7 and below), so Hola requires Root access to handle these requests.
If you don't want to root your device, I suggest flashing your current router with DD_WRT firmware.
DD-WRT is a free open source project aimed at developing a Linux based firmware solution that removes the restrictions placed on routers by their default programming. Fortunately, it has the option of selecting different VPN configurations like: PPTP, L2TP or OpenVPN and Once configured, users on the network don’t need to enter a log in process when they need to activate the VPN. It just starts automatically, so any device connects automatically and easily, giving you all the benefits of using a reliable VPN service.
In order to check whether your router is DD-WRT supported or not, please check your router here : http://dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database
And here is a configuration guide that will give you better idea of how you can config it on your router.
Hope it could help.

Cisco AnyConnect

Looking for some help with the Cisco Anyconnect Client…
With TW the Client now loads and runs on the 10.1.
The issues are I can’t get the client to see the certificates. I installed the certificates through the Settings Location and Security tab.
According to the guide I should be able to see and select the certificates on the Anyconnect setup screen. I don’t see any certificates.
Does anyone have an idea on how to install the certificates so the client will recognize them?

Are you using an european 3G model?
Is the Anyconnect for rooted devices or just the samsung standard?
I installed the Anyconnect rooted version and I get the same screenshot. For my corporate network the certificate must be "automatic" but then I don't see any way to set the usergroup and password...
Cisco states that a tun.ko module is required

Silly question, but just to be sure, did you purchase and install the AnyConnect Mobile license on your ASA? You must have that for this to work.
We have it working in our office, no issues.

I have the US WiFi Only 16GB White Model. My tab is rooted and I have installed the Samsung version, not the root version of the app.
I'm going crazy with this application.
My tab is rooted (odin) and the client simply don't install

Yesterday I got same problem.
I just found this info in CISCO support:
"Rooting your device could void your device warranty. We do not support rooted devices, nor do we provide instructions to root your device. If you choose to root your device, you do so at your own risk.
The AnyConnect client download for Samsung does not work on rooted devices; you must use the rooted version of AnyConnect on rooted devices."
So as I understand if I rooted my stock GT then "Samsung (< SEP2011) AnyConnect" wount even install. and i need to use "Rooted AnyConnect" version...
AND ...
"Both a tun.ko module and IP tables are required. AnyConnect displays an error message informing you about what is missing when you attempt to establish a VPN. If the tun.ko module is missing, obtain or build it for your corresponding device kernel and place it in the /data/local/kernel_modules/ directory."
here is smth about tun.ko http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205353
does anyone got it working on GT 10.1 3G/wifi ?

Don't mean to resurrect a two month old thread, but Samsung AnyConnect DOES work on some rooted devices. I have it working on my Galaxy SII E4GT. I also have a GTab10.1 LTE, but it is still currently unsupported by the Samsung AnyConnect. :-(

Sorry for such a late answer but I too faced this issue. This is the solution:
Post #12. https://communities.cisco.com/message/76480#76480
I couldn't use Opera to open the link instead I chose HMTL Viewer in the list showing when I clicked the link. AnyConnect launches and it asks if you want to import the certificate.
I am using the Rooted AnyConnect version on my P7500.
Anyone get the Cisco anyconnect to install/work on a non-rooted SG tab10.1?

[Q] How to connect to VPN?

I'm not sure whether this post belongs here, but I have googled high and low and I have not found anything that directly pertains to my Samsung Galaxy S2 issue. And here at XDA, the VPN questions seem to be about private VPNs (not commercial).
I am currently running Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread.XXKG6
I follow these steps for connecting to a LT2P
www_dot_hopthewall_dot_com/wiki/wiki/Android_L2TP_Over_IPSec
And these for PPTP
www_dot_hopthewall_dot_com/wiki/wiki/Installing_personalVPN-PPTP_on_Android_Mobile_Phone
I have tried the PPTP and L2TP
Both fail to connect
L2TP yields:
"Unable to connect to network. Try again?"
But no additional error message.
PPTP however, seems to allow the connection.
I connected a few times.
I used pptp.sfo.witopia.net. as the VPN server
That seemed to let me connect a few times;
and according to hide-my-ip.com I had an L.A. IP
But now, when I try to connect, I'm getting an error message that reads:
"Server hung up. User name or password incorrect. Try again?"
But I didn’t do or change anything. I just tried to connect as usual.
I've tried
restarting the phone.
waiting a while.
Connecting with the computer (connects without a problem)
I tried connecting to the different VPN servers.
I also tried connecting changing the VPN server from URL to an IP address,
but that just tells me "Unable to connect to network. Try again?"
I am at a loss...
I have tried at home, on my wifi account...
The same one that my computer is on, but no dice.
The VPN service provider is also at a loss.
They said "...iPhones connect all day..." (talk about a kick in the teeth)
They asked me if I wanted to cancel my account and request a refund.
Nice.
Thanks for the replies.
This forums are always so helpful.
No, that's okay, don't get up. I'll get that.
A two part work around I found was:
PART I
Sharing the VPN Connection Over WiFi by Converting my Laptop into WiFi VPN Router. An article by BESTVPNSERVICE.COM
Using a Windows 7 machine with a Wi-Fi NIC
1) Click on your computers start button and in the search box type “cmd” and wait for it to appear on the menu.
2) After it appears, right click on it and select “Run As Administrator”.
3) When the Black Command Prompt Opens up, type the following command and press enter
4) netsh wlan show drivers
5) You will see something like the following image. If the ‘Hosted Network Supported’ (in the red square) say ‘Yes’, it means the driver is installed and if it says ‘No’, download the drivers.
6) Once it is made sure that you have the required driver, it’s time to set it up.
7) Type netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=test key=password. Following Screen would appear. (Devices will detect network SSID as “test” change it to anything you want. Moreover, ‘key’ is your password which in this case is ‘password’, change it to whatever you want, I would suggest you to not to use numbers in password)
8 ) Then type, netsh wlan start hostednetwork. You will see the messages illustrated in the snap shot.
9) If you see the message that the ‘hosted network couldn’t be started’, then your WiFi driver is outdated, the best way to update the WiFi driver is Run you Windows Update or download the latest version from its official website.
10) Now that we have setup hosted network, we will make sure that it is shared on public Wi-Fi.
11) To do this, click on your Wi-Fi signal buttons on the bottom right hand corner of your screen.
12) Click on ‘Open Network and Sharing Center’.
13) Then click on Change adapter settings.
14) Click on the Connection that has description of ‘Your Created VPN Connection’ and right click on the Icon to go to its properties.
15) In Properties, go to ‘Sharing’ tab and check on ‘Allow Other Network User to connect through this computer…’
16) From the drop down menu of ‘Home Networking Connection’, Select the connection which had a description of ‘Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter’/’Virtula AP’ or it can be ‘Wireless Network Connection 2’ as in my case.
17) Check on the ‘Allow other network users to control or disable….’ Option as well.
18) Click ok and you are all set to go now.
19) Connect your VPN and ask your Friends or Colleague to discover your VPN enabled WiFi Connection.
20) Now, whenever you will restart your computer, your Shared WiFi connection will be disabled. You will have to reenter only the following command in the command prompt to enable it again.
netsh wlan start hostednetwork (or create a custom batch file for this, if you want to avoid reentering the command every time).
PART II
If the wi-fi direct on your phone isn't discovering your freshly created network,
you may need enable Ad Hoc connections for it.
For that I looked at an article here; but instead of Root Explorer is simply used ES Explorer:
Download this version of wpa_supplicant
Like I said, I used "ES Explorer"
• use "ES Explorer" to mount /system/bin/ and make a backup of wpa_supplicant
• rename the current one to wpa_supplicant.bak and copy the new wpa_supplicant to /system/bin
• then we need to adjust the permissions on the file to:
ticked - All options in the read and execute columns; and write column owner row
unticked - write column & group row; write column & others row.
• change /system/bin back to read only
• disable and re-enable wireless
• now your adhoc wireless network should be listed with the other wireless networks and you can connect.
After this two maneuvers, I was able to connect my phone to my laptop using my laptop's internet access and thus connecting to the VPN.
I find that the order of network activation matters.
What I mean is:
First connect to the internet (router, modem, or however that may be)
Then connect to the VPN
And then activate and connect to the hostednetwork.
I hope this helps someone, despite the fact that you have to be within wifi range of your windows machine. It's not quite the same as being on the streets and connecting to your VPN -but Android can't [consistently and reliably] connect to VPNs. And since no one replied to me here it stands to reason that no one knows how to get Android to connect to commercial VPN services (not even WiTopia's tech support).

[Q] SSHD on tab, not able to connect

Hi!
I have tried SSHDroid, QuickSSHD and also Dropbear directly from the command line with logging to STD_ERR, but I am not able to connect to my GalaxyTab 10.1. Using nmap from WinXP I see the port, but it is filtered:
PORT STATE SERVICE
22/tcp filtered ssh
Using netstat on the tab shows that the connection has begun, but it stops with syn_recv and never get established. Using DropBear with logging it seems like no traffic is passed on to the server as no new log appears at the connection moment (or later).
The problem occured after rooting the device and has been persistent even though I have changed back to stock ROM and manager. Now I am using "recovery-cwm_4.0.0.4-sam-tab-10.1.tar.md5" and "Task650&Phantom_V5_Final.zip".
Using netcat I am able to send traffic both ways on the same ports.
I would really appreciate any suggestions on how to solve this as I have I feel lost without SSH
BR,
Henrik
It works okay for me with stock rom, rooted and SSHDroid. Set the superuser to grant automatic root permissions. Launch the SSHDroid and set - require wifi and password to yes.Check the port and make sure its 22 in the SSHDroid settings. Then start the server, you should see a confirmation saying the process is listening in port 22. You would also see a prompt stating the SSHDroid has been granted SU permissions. LEt me know if this helps!
SOLVED
Thanks for suggestions mango1122! I have for sure tried all those things too many times already But I got a breakthrough today by using the Overcome ROM and kernel (see galaxytabhacks).
Using this ROM, SSHDroid worked out of the box. I have unfortunately no clue why this works, but what made me try this ROM was this comment:
"For Custom roms: Be aware, I’ve put the wifi module right in the ramdisk (which is where it is on 10.1 stock). Please move over the modules folder in /system/lib prior to flashing, if this applies to you."
BR,
Henrik
Solved...again...
Update...had to take a long break as it didn't work when I got home from work that day in Nov...it was my home router that caused the problem, I guess combined with something in the Dropbear/SSHDroid application for Android 3.0 as there is no problem using SSHDroid on my smartphone with Android 2.3.3 on the same router. I assume it has something to do with the fact that it listens on tcp6?
Using another router solved the problem.
BR,
Henrik

Doesn't Multilaser M7 3g plus deserve a way to root?

Sorry if I'm uninformed, but I spent a few days looking for a method to root the infamous multilaser m7. A tablet with a very bad performance to install a virtual machine and at the same time super complicated in terms of compatible tools to improve its android 9. Has anyone experienced this problem, have any tips besides advising me to burn it or play In the trash?
My final objective is get remote access in this tablet without confirmation... none of most usable tools (Airdroid, Anydesk, teamviewer) work in this tablet without confirmation ou USB temporary confirmation every time the devise turn off or the tool updated. In respect of this last thing, I know that here isn't the best place to ask, but all help is welcomed.

AFAIK the 3 mentioned apps make use of a Wi-Fi connection and not of a USB connection. Once you are going to establish a remote connection this must be confirmed, will say the appropriate connection ID must get input.

I agree ... they use wi-fi connection, thanks to God for that ... what I said is that I need to connect to the tablet without confirmation, I need to leave the tablet in my store and just upload and configure it remotely. For this, even installing the Teamviewer and AnyDesk plugins, and activating the direct connection option of Airdroid using USB without root, it is still not possible to maintain a connection with that tablet (mind cracker multilaser m7). Better options for example using Airdroid would be possible if it were possible to root this infamous.
@criph
Because tablet is powered by Mediatek chipset you can try to flash a pre-rooted Android ( Custom ROM ) by means of SP Flash Tool or do it the hard way by flashing a Custom Recovery ( e.g. TWRP ), then flashing Magisk framework via TWRP and finally root Andoid by means of Magisk Manager.

Don't know if you're still interested.
Using App Ops you may grant Anydesk or whatever the ability to always accept external connections.
To enable App Ops on a device without root, you will also need Shizuku. Follow the instructions on the screen.

[Windows 11] Run VPN apks ?

Hello folks !
I'm new to Windows 11 and have been blessed with the new feature that allows us to install apks natively (well, with adb SDK).
Though, I've been trying to install a VPN apk, it works but there's an error when the app asks for VPN permissions. It says there's an error, and well.. it doesn't work.
Anyone tried/has a workaround ?
Big thanks !
If you're talking of WSA:
WSA shares resources with host computer's resources, so also the network, means you've to install on Windows computer a VPN what then get used.

Oh damn..
I was really hoping that using a VPN apk would be possible with this WSA ..
Thanks for your answer though jwoegerbauer !
Win 11 has an issue with VPN's. I use Surfshark and when I installed Win 112, it created a new adapter that it tunneled all my internet traffic through so that if I disabled the VPN, it killed my internet. I had to delete that adapter which was NOT easy to run without the VPN on (Works sites wouldn't take to whitelisting for example).
I think there was a point in the process where my traffic was blocked with the VPN on. It's crazy
