I have been having trouble connecting to my work VPN with the G-Tablet. I have since tried going to ZPad 3.0 in hopes this would fix the issue. However, no luck. The VPN server is reporting an event error of 20209.
After a few hours of looking on other forums it turns out this have been an issue since Android 2.1. They have either intentionally left out the encryption module from PPPD or it was forgotten in the build. The 'fix' is to copy the PPPD file from a version prior to 2.1 (Android 1.5?) and save it to the System/xbin directory. However there is an argument over if should go into system/bin for 2.2.
Does anyone have more information on this - or better yet a fix/update? Any help on this would be appreciated.
which ROm are you using
stock ROM doesn't have VPN at all.

I'm using ZPAD 3.0 ROM at the moment.
I have narrowed it down to a problem with the MPPE 128 encryption. I have found a PPPD that is supposed to fix the problem (see link below), but I don't now how to get it to the system directory. How do you mount system as R/W?
Alternate PPPD:
H***://melko.hiljanen.com/~qvr/android/ppp/
Root explorer will allow you to mount it that way

Ditto!!!!!!!!
Tried your link, getting the same error I've seen in the past:
Code:
pppd: This system lacks kernel support for PPP. This could be because
the PPP kernel module could not be loaded, or because PPP was not
included in the kernel configuration. If PPP was included as a
module, try `/sbin/modprobe -v ppp'. If that fails, check that
ppp.o exists in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/net.
See README.linux file in the ppp distribution for more details.
I think(?) we need a customized kernel with ppp. So far, we have NTFS and CIFS support that's been added by some of the devs, here.

No luck. The PPPD file didn't make a difference. I guess I should not have been surprised. The L2TP connections are supposed to work so I may try that tomorrow - if I can convince the network admin to make the changes on the vpn server.
The lastest info I have been able to collect on this issue is that it has been known at google since 2.0 was released. They were having a problem keeping a connection using MPPE 128 over PPTP so instead of releasing something that did not work right, they removed support for it until a later date. Said date has not been determined.
I will keep you posted as I find out more.

I came across this too. Since the ppp directory exists under system/etc I have made the assumption that there is support for it (at least under ztab 3.0). In order to check using the method above we would need a terminal app or some other way to run the commands. If there is a way to do it natively I am too new to know.
Any devs willing to tackle this issue?

No luck. The Net Admin decided it would be too much work just for a tablet test (and his iPAD VPN work just fine thank you). Anyone willing to try a L2TP test?
I have tried L2TP in Vegan with no success. used my android phone to verify settings and it works fine from there.

Ok so that is 2 ROMs down:
TNT Stock - No option
Vegan - Not functional
Just need TNT light and Zpad Clean v3.0 tested. I'm suspecting that it will be no for both. This is starting to creep higher on my list of needs. Does anyone know of a ROM VPN works in?
I confirm that the advent vega rom has the same problem.
Unable to use vpn.

Do you need tun.ko/kernel support for this stuff? Clemsyn compiled that into one of his kernels - check his thread in the Development forum out, and give that kernel a try with the Vegan ROM, that might get you closer.

That could be worth the check. I would like to see a list of exactly what his kernel supports before I try though.
[EDIT]: Checked change log. VPN module in kernel not mentioned.
Looking over the list of known issues at Google, this problem has been known for a while. The fact that Google hasn't addressed it worries me a bit. It is possible that since phones are the largest part of their OS client, VPN isn't a high priority. They may be waiting for the open source community to solve their problem for them.
Was able to get VPN working
YOU WILL NEED TO HAVE ROOT AND BUSYBOX INSTALLED. PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP IN CASE SOMETHING GOES WRONG.
1st you will need the new kernel found at the below address.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=903505
2nd you will need to insert the tun.ko included in with the kernel into /system/lib/modules/2.6.32.27-cyanogenmod folder on the tablet using root explorer.
3rd you will need to install the latest version of vpn from
http://code.google.com/p/get-a-robot-vpnc/downloads/list
4th install a terminal emulator and then you will need type the following commands
su (press enter)
cd /system/lib/modules/2.6.32.27-cyanogenmod (press enter)
insmod tun.ko (press enter)
You should now be able to connect on VPN.
there is very easy installation get and run vpn frome purevpn........

Sorry for asking this noob question, but is this VPN fix only for Cyanogenmod, or will work with others, such as TnT Lite?
I'm running TnT lite and there no's VPN setup option.
tnt is missing the vpn shortcut
use VPN Show
Kazuyuki Eguchi/Tools
found in android market to access the vpn menu
i have used with sucess on most roms open vpn and open vpn settings
with out problems just by install them and setting it to auto run at start
with install to xbin and create a folder on internal sd "openvpn"
then place a vpn.conf file there
then connect this cause an error but causes super user to give it root rights
after that all my vpn,s work with out going near openvpn

I am running the wistilt kernel and not the most current RIL but one of the new RIL from the original RIL thread, but I am not sure it really matters as long as you are using an autobuild version or testing variant of it.
I will caveat that the native Android VPN will not work for my company because it uses Cisco IPSec with Group Name and Password on it. The IPSec in Android is some weird variant of IPSec that is not compatible with Cisco systems. This is a known problem in Android.
Here is what I did. I downloaded VPNC Widget from the markethttps://market.android.com/details?id=com.gmail.mjm4456.vpncwidget It is a simple Widget that is a one-click VPN start/stop.
I then had to get "tun" running on our build. I found it in /system/lib/modules/ folder. I went to Terminal Emulator went to root by typing "su" without quotes. I then type in "mknod /system/lib/modules/tun c 10 200" then I type "modprobe tun". If you get any kind of errors about not finding the file just go "cd /system/lib/modules" and try again. I forget if I had to do that or not.
Once I did that and set up the VPNC Widget with all my info it logged into my VPN, and I was able to set up my Microsoft Exchange server for email, and I was able to use a VNC app to remote into my work desktop.
I thought I might have to add some info into the conf file, but actually it works even after reboot. Maybe some of the developers can tell me why that is, because I was under the assumption a reboot would reset everything again.
Anyway just an FYI. Thought I would help some people wanting to VPN.
On many Linux systems, device files in /dev are created by udev. In our case we might have fixed device files, not sure.
It's odd that you mknoded /system/lib/modules/tun - usually you mknod stuff in /dev/...
Weird...
However what may have happened is that once the device file was mknoded, it stays in the filesystem, and the module autoloads once the device exists.

I agree most things I see using mknod are in /dev/, but the tun file was not in that folder for me, so I searched for it, and that was the only place I found it. I guess that means that our build wasn't meant to support VPN originally even with the built in Android VPN stuff showing on it. I don't have a home VPN or I would try the Android built on VPN to see if it works now. Although I am thinking about setting one up, but I don't even have a desktop right now so it would be worthless until I get a NAS or desktop on my network.
Which reminds me if wistilt2 has added iptable support into his kernel yet. Off to investigate!
Update: See saturn_de's thread for more modules:

Asus failed big time with their ICS kernel. Not only did they leave out the tun module, they also left out several other required options.
After a lot of trial and error, I've found all the modules necessary to connect to VPN, at least using IPSec XAuth PSK mode with my employer's setup. It may or may not work for you.
Root is required. You can find the compiled modules attached. There is a _readme.txt file inside with instructions. Let me know your results!
Thanks to sklid for his initial tun.ko. If you're looking for cifs.ko, you can find it here:
CIFS kernel module for ICS.
Reserved, or something. Although I can hardly imagine actually needing this.
They also left out the ability to properly use the Battery setting for anything other than system processes - can you fix that in your kernel
Oh & can you fix the ad hoc network issue while your at it
Edited: I wished init.goldfish.sh would work. Anyone knows which script got called at startup?
I modified your instruction a bit as my shell script. It does not work if I tried with the ICS VPN - IPSec Xauth PSK. It works using VPN Widget from market.
You can copy the attached file into /etc and set executed permission for it via Root Explorer. When you need vpn, open terminal then execute it after becoming root. Then setup your vpn widget to connect.

Is this the app you're talking about? VPNC Widget
If so, it may be something that vpnc supports but the built-in racoon doesn't. I wonder how your VPN is set up differently from mine. Could you post the logcat output (filtered by racoon) from when you're trying to connect using the built-in VPN tool?
I Thanked you for your effort and excellent documentation, but unfortunately my Prime reboots as soon as it completes Phase 2 negotiation. Can post gory details tomorrow if you're interested. Hopefully your work gets the attention of the devs at Asus!

This VPNSecure? Maybe. I've used a PPTP VPN in Gingerbread on my phone before. I don't think ICS has built-in OpenVPN support, though, so you would have to use these kernel modules with the third-party OpenVPN Installer - assuming it still works with ICS.
If you decide to give it a try, let us know if/how it works.

Damnit so close. Just tried, got all the way through but when I tried to connect after typing in the passphrase this is what I got:
Wait..

Get config..
FATAL: Cannot allocate TUN/TAP dev dynamically
My prime appears to connect fine but when I try to access any data over the connection it restarts.
Connection via the widget above works perfect tho!

Strange that multiple people are having restarts. I wonder if there's something in the vanilla Android kernel that doesn't match up with the Asus kernel, or something missing in my modules. It might just be a bug in Android, though. The VPNC Widget totally bypasses a lot of the built-in ICS VPN pieces and uses its own stuff instead.

TUN is already enabled in the stock kernel that comes with Asus 9.4.2.15. It may not have been in earlier Samsung kernels before that. So, you shouldn't need to load that module.

Hello, I've been trying to follow this guide at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385577
My phone has CM 7.2,busybox installed too.
Entering
Code:
busybox ifconfig
in terminal (not in su) gives me the local loopback address, and when I turn on my wifi, it shows my wifi card details too. (It's named tiwlan0 though)
Anyhow, since ifconfig needs to be run as root, I get ifconfig: applet not found after I enter following commands:
Code:
$su
#busybox ifconfig (and anything starting with this)
So it looks like ifconfig runs fine without su but is not detected at all after I make the switch to su. And since the line of code that changes the MAC cannot be run without su(then I get - SIOCSIFHWADDR: operation not permitted), I am stuck!
I tried other methods such as and similar to the one on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343695
where, after editing some configuration file, one could change his MAC address. Is there any such known file/method for the LWW?
Thanks!
Simple Tutorial to spoof MAC address
So I finally figured this out and it actually works for the purpose u needed, I will write down step by step guide, and write me if you need some help
1. You need your XMP to be rooted, with SU intalled, busybox installed and with terminal emulator app
2. Open terminal emulator app, and type: su
3.Allow terminal app to have super user access
4.Now type: busybox ifconfig (with your WiFi on)
5.Locate the text on the left side "wlan0" and in that paragraph locate HWaddr, write down this address just in case.
6.Now turn your WiFi off
7.In terminal write down this: busybox ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 0A:1B:2C:3D:4E:5F (remember 0A:1B:2C:3D:4E:5F is only an example, you should follow the pattern: number, letter, number letter an so and on, for this process to work).
8. Turn on your WiFi, And your MAC address should be the one you created (you can check that by typing in terminal: busybox ifconfig)
And ther you go, you spoofed your WLAN MAC address, tested by me in a simple tutorial, hope it helps
---------- Post added at 01:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:52 AM ----------
In your case step 7 should be like this:
7.In terminal write down this: busybox ifconfig tiwlan0 hw ether 0A:1B:2C:3D:4E:5F (remember 0A:1B:2C:3D:4E:5F is only an example, you should follow the pattern: number, letter, number letter an so and on, for this process to work).
I'm running Real ICS r5.1 by the way, and now heywire works just perfect. In step 7 tiwlan0 should be renamed as the name the card shows when you first run only ifconfig, take that as an advice.

No, it doesn't work. Like I mentioned previously, everything is seemingly installed(SU,busybox,terminal- iam on CM7.2 anyway) but in su mode,
Code:
busybox ifconfig
says ifconfig: applet not found. Am I the only one with this problem? Also, I'm not sure I should replace my terminal with the one from the market.(read somewhere that it does some replacement stuff; don't want to re-flash again soon)
Code:
su

Of course change example address to yours. It works until reboot.

Why dont you try this, reinstall busybox via google play, with the app by Stephen Stericson, then you open the app, and grant BusyBox super user access, later you use terminal app and try my process, if not, then try the process posted by pikpok, see if it works and tell us
Problem with busybox probably...

Yeah, busybox probably was the problem with CyanogenMod 7 (which has a different version of busybox than the one that came with MIUI 2.7.27). Maybe it hadn't been installed right somehow with CM7..
Anyway, it does work!:victory:Thank you!

Hi,
Just done a factory reset and upgraded to r5 , this is a UK tablet, region changed to US and flashed. I then rooted using Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v13 . After several try I got it working, but I had to use a signed VPNfaker to accomplish this.
So now I want to use a VPN, before I used OpenVPN, this worked perfectly, now it fails to connect. I get the error - Running on Sony Tablet S (nbx03) Sony, Android API 15. Your image does not support the VPNService API, Sorry
I tried to use OpenVPN Connect , getting the error due to a know bug in this version of android it is not possible to gain permission to open a VPN Tunnel.
So last attempt using the built in L2tp/IPSec option, with this I just get a timeout error. No Connection.
So was it the rooting method damaged or changed something with VPN or is it this version US R5 ?
Anyone got VPN working on US R5 ?

That was the second option I tried. I enabled the VPN service, then selected the VPN I want to connect. It initiates the connection then stops after a second with no results in the log file. Did you try any of the other VPN apps that don't require root, OpenVPN Connect (I think US Market only) or OpenVPN for Android, this work really well on my Xperia S .
How did you root your Tablet ?
Did you do the incremental update or full install ?
I flashed the full update and basically used the same method like you. I also had to sign VpnFaker.apk for my Swiss tablet... I don't remember any issuses installing OpenVPN (OpenVPN Installerhttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.schaeuffelhut.android.openvpn.installer, OpenVPN Settingshttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.schaeuffelhut.android.openvpn). Interestingly, no tun.ko module is required.
I quickly tried the apps you suggested and which don't require root. But they didn't work for me in a quick test.

Ok, so tried re-installing busybox, tun.ko, OpenVPN settings and OpenVPN installer however still it's not working. I am thinking the problem is deeper than this though. The built in VPN options L2TP/IPSec and PPTP are both failing to work. I just get a time out error. I have uploaded a section of the catlog if someone could have a look at it.
I am still stuck with this problem. I used AIO tool to setup boot loop protection and then re installed the full R5 on top of the old installation. I didn't do a factory reset though, I don't have the time to re install everything.
And still the problem persists.
I am unable to create any VPN
Anyone any ideas ?
ok. Factory Reset.
Factory Reset, reinstalled R5. Titanium Backup restore and still no VPN. I give up.
Sorry to hear that... for more information about the initiation process of your VPN, you could try to start the openvpn binary in a terminal as root with an increased verbosity level... just to see at which step the process actually fails

would that give me more or the same as a logcat ?
Could you give me a quick idea how to do this in terminal ?
Well, I am not an expert, but your logfile was just little use for me...
Steps for running openvpn in terminal:
Open terminal
Type 'su' to get root
Change to the directory with your profiles using 'cd PROFILEDIR'
Type 'openvpn' for getting all command line options
To start a connection type something like 'openvpn --config PROFILE.ovpn --verb 3 '
I couldn't test this with my connection because I haven't figured out how to pass my key for my certificate. But I think this is the way to go.
