Hi,
I've been holding back this question ever since Kitkat (4.4) hit the phones.
How come it's not possible to connect to any devices within any lan when connected to a VPN service? It worked fine pre-kitkat. I've been holding back on upgrading for long while now but I couldn't resist any longer.
I've noticed that it's possible to WoL (wake on lan) though. Why is that? Is there a way to work out being connected to a VPN service and still discover other devices on the current LAN?
Best regards.

Hello,
I am searching for apps who can wake on LAN my wireless PC by using my HTC Legend device (through internet connection). Is this possible? What apps are currently the best in the market? Thanks a lot for your advise.
Rgds, Marvon
I'm normally using this one:
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.mafro.android.wakeonlan
and sometimes this one:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.benfinnigan.wol
But you have to check, that you can open UDP Port 9 on your Router on the Broadcast IP (x.x.x.255) and add a DynDNS Domain if you dont have a static IP.
If you have a FritzBox you cannot open that port that easily but there is a nice App for that:

Hi Fabi280,
thanks a lot for your reply. I am completely new to this. WOL is enabled in the bios but i cannot find the wol settings in my wireless WMP600N network card). Do you have a manual available how to set this up and let it work?
tchuss,
Marvon
The Solution is pretty simple.
There is no WOL with WLAN, actually there is but there aren't much devices that support that Technology. So lets say it just works with a LAN Cable plugged in.
A Device that has Wake On Lan enabled doesnt shut off the Network card, so its always connected, even if it is off (and its connected to power).
LAN doesnt consume that much power, as there is always power on the LAN Cable.
WLAN consumes much more power than LAN and is often used on Mobile Devices which are using Batteries
Hy, can anyone help me with this:
I have made my pc to wake and everything is working great, but after some time it stops working and I cannot wake my pc anymore... Anyone knows what is the problem? I tried to set up lease and everything and I do not know what is the problem...
In my android app I have:
ip address: 86.xx.xx.xx
mac addres: CB:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (from my pc)
and port: 9
in router I have pre-assigned DHCP IP Address (192.xxx.x.xx) to MAC address.
If I turn off my pc, I can turn on my pc with the app, but after some time it stops working...
any help please...
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
I have searched and googled and have come up with just my &#[email protected] in my hand.
My kid is trying to get his phone to connect to the LAN at his school. He has all the information right, but whenever he tries to connect, he gets a notification "trying to avoid a poor connection", then it drops the connection. I'm pretty sure it is because we can't get our android devices to connect through the proxy, so the phone drops the Wi-Fi in favor of 4g.
Is there any way to be connected to both? He needs to connect to the LAN to access information within the local intranet.
4.3 on a galaxy s3
Hello XDA,
I have an android device: it's a stick connected to my TV, running android 4.1 rooted. The stick is an MK808B, if that means anything to anyone here. The stick is connected to my TV's USB so that when I turn the TV on, the stick boots and when I turn the TV off, it shuts down completely.
I am looking for something that automatically connect the stick to VPN when I boot it. I would preferably use VPN over L2DP, although I'll take PPTP if there's no other option. I can't use openVPN because my ROM's kernel doesn't have TUN. There are two ways to approach this: one way is to connect it on boot, another way is to connect to VPN when the stick connects to a wireless network because my stick is stationary and always connects to the same wi-fi network.
Any ideas on how to get this done? Thanks all!
Sorry for bumping, but does anyone have any ideas?
Hi,
I have a wireless router that allows me to plug in a Hard drive / SD Card etc. It can be a bridge to another network or an Access Point etc but can also just be a LAN without an internet connection allowing access to the connected devices.
This works perfectly on my Nexus tablet / PC etc, however, on my Mate 20 Pro, the connection is unstable to the point of not being able to use it. I get a notification saying the WiFi connection doesn't have an internet connection I press connect anyway and from there it keeps dropping and reconnecting the connection.
If I plug the router into a network point and give it an internet connection it works perfectly on the Mate 20 and any other devices.
I think this is some clever connection manager thing Huawei is doing to try to connect to the internet but can't find a way to stop it. I am going travelling and wanted to only take the router and my phone however it is looking like I will need to take my tablet too to use it for what I need.
I've searched and searched the internet and here for clues but nothing so I am hoping someone has an idea.
Thanks
Andrew
