I'm connecting to my home VPN via the VPN settings. But I can't have a consistently active vpn. If I check consistently active vpn checkox in the VPN settings the connect button will be grayed out (disabled). Without this checkbox activated I can connect to the VPN without issues. But if I lost the VPN connection I would go into VPN settings again an need to connect it manually again.
Why it the connect button disabled if I check the consistently active vpn checkbox?
Has nobody this problem?

Occasionally I want to connect to a WiFi network that doesn't have a decent DHCP service. I can connect to the AP but I do not get an IP number, DNS server and so on.
Is there a way (an app, maybe) that allows manual configuration of a WiFI connection?
I'm running UrukDroid on Archos 101IT.
Under advanced wifi settings you can manually configure your connection. No need for a special app.

Is there a way that I can connect via VPN to my work's network, but only have it be used for apps that require that pipe? ie, not have all data go over the VPN.
Ex. On my Win7 machine, I can setup the VPN and uncheck the option to "use this as default network connection", so that i still keep my normal internet, but anytime I reference a network address, it properly uses the VPN.
Anything like that for Android?
Hello,
I run a firewall at home with a openVPN Server. My phone runs CM11. My purpose is to use the VPN connection all the time for all internet access so I can use my firewall .
In my openVPN Client app I can chooese between two modes when phone goes to sleep:
1: pause VPN and use direct internet access
2: pause VPN and do not use direct internet access
Question: is there no chance to use permanently the VPN connection? When the phone is in standby it should also use the established VPN connection. If tunnel is paused and I use option 2 there is no internet connection while phone sleeps. So also no messages are coming in, no mails are checked and so on. But option 1 is against my purpose to use for 100% the VPN connection. Is there any solution for my purpose?
Wanna give it a new try.
This idea shouldn't be so bad as I think
I can connect to a pptp connection but when i click on the connection from the status bar it does not offer me the option to disconnect.
If I go into the vpn settings menu I still dont get an option to disconnect. I have to disable wifi and disable data. This was a dirty install from jas3.0 any ideas why vpnservice is not creating dialog?
Looking for a way to automatically connect to a VPN whenever a I connect to specific WIFI networks. If it matters I currently have OpenVPN based options & TorGuard but I'm completely open to others. Ideally this VPN session would close whenever I disconnect.
Yes, I could leave the VPN up all the time but I'm just looking to secure my first hop (work & public networks) and not worried about cellular data snooping and my own personal WIFI.
