Has anyone been able to successfully re-compile a tun.ko for the captivate kernel?
Office still has old IPSEC group ID based vpn
Thanks.
[mods please move to development]
Trying my hand at building that module from the vanilla Eclair + Samsung code drop. Will let you know how it goes...
I used this tun.ko, installed openvpn with the openvpn installer from the market, and installed the VPN_Connections_v099.apk from code.google.com/p/get-a-robot-vpnc to manage the connections. I am able to connect to my cisco vpn concentrator with my captivate. Hope this helps...
where on the phone do we copy the tun.ko file?
I put mine in /system/lib/modules/ and openvpn in /system/bin/. I also installed openvpn settings from the market and enabled the "load tun kernel module" option and changed the "load module using" to insmod. For some reason it would not connect without this, I guess because the tun module is not being loaded correctly. Also you can manually load the module by typing “insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko” and check to see if it’s loaded by typing “lsmod” and you should see “tun 11088 0 - Live 0xbf195000”
This worked for me.
loaded it manually, not sure if it'll load automatically now or not, haven't tried it.
Can't get this working...
Do you have to start OpenVPN and manually load the tun before launching VPN Connections? Of course after all of these settings...
Still not working...
Okay, I can manually insert and load the tun.ko and installed the VPN Connections app to this version. Every time I try to connect, it INSTANTLY says 'failed to connect'. Any ideas? I have all the right things in all the right places...OpenVPN installed and configured (although I can't see how I need this with the tun.ko manually started and running). HELP! I really need VPN to work on this device or it is going back...
Great information in this thread. I have Busybox installed, Open VPN binaries installed and Open VPN settings installed as well as the Vpn_connection_99.apk file. One issue though!
HOW DO I MANUALLY DROP THE TUN.KO FILE INTO THE SYSTEM/LIB/MODULES FOLDER?
I tried to using Droidexplorer with no luck, so I copied it to the sd card and tried to copy paste it using Astro File Explorer with no luck either. How the hell do I get it into that folder? I'm rooted and running the JH7 captivate stock ROM.
I feel like once I get it in there, I can manually start the file and get this puppy up and going! I tried to put it into another folder and just point Open VPN settings to it there but it just won't work like that. It needs to be in the Modules folder!
Thanks in advance!
Ugh I've tried about everything and no luck with copying the tun.ko file into the system/lib/modules directory.
I've gained root access using adb shell and su commands and I don't receive any errors in the adb shell when I perform cp tun.ko system/lib/modules but it does not copy the file. I tried to chmod 777 the lib folder but was denied. I'm learning I may not have NAND unlocked for full root. I tried to manually start the module from my sd card but it won't work that way either.
Any suggestions?
EDIT: OK BIG IMPROVEMENT. I WAS ABLE TO WRITE THE TUN.KO FILE TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION IN XBIN AND POINT THE OPENVPN AT THIS. AFTER AN LSMOD CHECK I CONFIRMED IT'S RUNNING. CAN ANYONE HELP ME BUILD A VALID OPENVPN .OVPN FILE FOR CONNECTING TO MY VPN? IT'S A STANDARD CISCO ASA IPSEC VPN THAT HAS A GROUP NAME, GROUP KEY AND VPN ADDRESS.
Thanks!
Here is the link that got me able to install the module elsewhere for all you folks facing NAND issues and not able to install tun.ko in the system/lib/modules folder!

OK. I've got true ipsec vpn working perfect on the captivate with the latest jh7 build. Cisco asa 5500 is the device being vpnd through.

Is anyone doing anything new and/or differently than what's been described in this thread to successfully connect to a Cisco VPN Concentrator? I know October is only two months back, but a lot can change in two months around here.
Also, there was a question on page 1 asking about whether the tun module had to be manually loaded each time or not. That was never answered. Can anyone shed some light on that, please?

Give me til tomorrow morning. I have EXACTLY what you are looking for. Consider donating if it helps... . It does need to be loaded each time but in the video I point at 2 apps that will make loading it literally a 3-5 second process and not involve you having to use a pc to load it.

The reason I use OpenVpn settings is because when you restart the phone you have to reload the tun.ko and OpenVpn settings is an easy way to do that, it also fixes the dns after you disconnect from the vpn by going to setting and fix dns. The process I use to start the vpn is (starting from a cold boot of the phone)
1. I ALWAYS leave the check box in OpenVPN settings UNCHECKED (OpenVPN off) unless I'm starting the tun.ko after a boot. After the phone boots I open OpenVPN settings and check the box next to OpenVPN and wait a few seconds, then uncheck it. This loads the tun.ko and only needs to be done after a reboot.
2. go to VPN connections and click and hold the vpn connection you made to your VPN concentrator and click connect. (you should be connected at this point)
3. after you disconnect the dns on the phone may not change back automatically from the VPN dns servers, so go to OpenVPN setting and click setting and Fix DNS. You should be able to get out to the Inet again.
Cognition 3.04
Has anyone gotten this to work on the Cognition 3.04 ROM? I keep getting:
fatal:cannot allocate TUN/TAP dev dynamically
K, I don't know what I'm missing here. There's not word one about config files or their format in this thread but, as far as I can tell, this is a fairly worthless collection of bits without one.
I've reviewed the thread 3 times and searched the forums, where can I find formats for these mysterious conf files?
Some custom roms have tun.ko built in. I use Paragon RC6, based on speedmod kernel. To activate tun.ko I rebooted into recovery mode, chose speedmod tweaks and activated tun.ko, rebooted and installed OpenVPN Installer and OpenVPN Settings from the market. Then had to adb some symbolic links (google is your friend). After d/l'ing conf files from my commercial OVPN supplier and some editing the setup works very well.

If my ROM doesn't have tun.ko built in, is it possible to use from a different ROM?
Hi guys,
I'm currently running Paul's FR12 CMR.
I'm having a slight difficulty with my mobile network APN.
The configuration cannot be changed, and every time i attempt to set a customised APN based on my telco, it jumps back to an existing setting already embedded into the system.
There is no current way i could "delete" the existing setting.
Is there a way for me to remove it manually via CWM or root explorer?
And if possible, where and what?

I had the same problem, I've fixed with this app: http://goo.gl/pU4vr
This belongs in Development, but I'm not allowed to post it there because I have fewer than 10 posts.
Anyway, I have compiled together a nice package for putting OpenVPN on the Nexus S. It includes all the files necessary to use OpenVPN, including the tun kernel module, the OpenVPN binary, a dependency of it (liblzo.so), and a nice GUI to configure it. This should work on any rom that uses the stock 2.3.4 kernel.
Instructions:
1. Install the attached package via clockwork recovery.
2. Go to the OpenVPN Settings, and under Advanced Settings, check the box that says "Load tun kernel module".
3. Under "TUN module settings", set it up so that it loads with "insmod", and the path to the tun module is "/system/modules/tun.ko".
That's it! I tried to make this as simple as I could.
Thanks to the following people:
*NielDK for the tun.ko kernel module
*cyanogen for the openvpn binary and liblzo.so file
*Friedrich Schaeuffelhut for the GUI
So this would let me connect to an OpenVPN server like a WRT54GL running Tomato?
Trying it right now.. Just found this after trying to install / set it up myself.... Will let you know.
Hi SomePerson - I just installed your openvpn client and it works great!!
I've been meaning to get my openvpn server up and running and this was just the excuse I needed.
I installed, followed the instructions you posted above and dropped the keys and configuration in the appropriate folder and everything worked - first time CONNECTED.
Any plans to add a widget for the homescreen or "notification power widget" to make it easier to turn on/off?? That is my only critique for the moment - REALLY nice work - and Thanks!!
I'm running a Nexus S (i9020a) on the ZeRoXs Custom ROM (based on 2.3.4) on AT&T and connecting to an openvpn server hosted on a Linksys 610N running DD-WRT.
Oh - also needed is a notification bar icon to show when you are connected...I connected this afternoon and forgot about it all afternoon and wondered why my internet was so confused when I got home and on WiFi (and on my vpn network directly).
Thanks for the great app...works WAY better than the bundled VPN solutions in android...
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
Thank you so much, I wasn't able to get openvpn working until now but this works perfectly.
i have the nexus s 4g.. on 2.3.5.
is having 2.3.4 and stock kernel a requirement? im running stock 2.3.5 and the matr1x kernel. im a VPN n00b and this looks like just what i needed.. everyone had good results
Works for me too but the only problem... this version of the OpenVPN client keeps saying in the notification bar
"Username/Password required for configuration vpnname"
so I can't tell if it's connect or not...
I also noticed this version is 0.4.8test1 where as the one on the market is 0.4.7
did you modify this? because I also looked on the official site and only version I can see there is 0.4.7
thanks
Hi! This is my first message, sorry for my English
I have got a problem with this file.
I have Nexus S with ClockWork mod by Superatmel and ROM SuperOSR Gingerbread:
Android version is 2.3.5
I have flashed succesfully this OpenVPN .ZIP, the instalation was succesfully, the configuration is correct.
OpenVPN correctly connects to my OpenVPN server but I have not internet, DNS doesn't work.
Anyone have this problem??
THANKS!!
Solution:
Click on client.CONF, PREFERENCES, USE VPN DNS and on DNS Server put: 8.8.8.8 (Google DNS).
Enjoy!!
tks, very useful!
Thanks for the VPN.
openvpn
can't connect to server it says username password required but i already made a txt file to route automatically with my openvpn account.

Great job!
However, do you think it should work on Galaxy S2 with CM9?
Thx
Hi, I'm new to the forum and fairly new to flashing phones, although I fix computers so I was a quick learner.
Anyway, I have recently flashed my Galaxy Mini with the cyanogen mod I found in the galaxy mini developers sub-forum on this very site and come across a number of problems. Some of these I have fixed using my own best judgement and others, however I'm still having trouble "cleaning" the functionality issues.
For the record can I just say, I love the mod and my thanks and congratulations go out to all the devs involved. Well done!
So, my issues so far...
wifi issues - sometimes hangs on the obtaining ip address part
Android Market - installed both old and new versions (including the download link on the cm 7 thread) - installs fine then asks to create new account, I click ok and it closes the app
Creating sync accounts in settings - gmail, hotmail etc will not add (error: Setup could not finish. Unable to open connection to server
Downloading from internet - I have constantly been clearing the data and cache of the download app and browser and after a couple more downloads I have to repeat these steps. Anybody know a permanent fix for this?
Email: also not completing user accounts registration
I have searched and searched both this site and others for solutions to no avail. I love this mod and am very impressed with the tools included and my one wish is to be able to use it to the best of its ability. When I installed the update from sd card, my installed apps were also deleted (from the sd card), which I found strange, but thought hey, no problem if I can just download them from the market again right? But obviously since I cant run the market app, here lies my problem.
I hope there is a solution to this problem that doesn't involve reflashing my phone. I would be saddened to have to give up on this mod as I love nothing better than to get the most out of my phone.
Also just to clarify, I followed every step detailed in the CM 7 thread exactly as outlined and the flashing process was a pass for the cwm and the update completed successfully for the CM 7. I also cleared all data and wiped cache partition before and after each step as outlined.
Thanks for any comments/suggestions and I look forward to joining you on the forum.

No idea about wifi - not used it.
For market crashing, try this:-
Settings > applications > all > Market. Try clearing data from this.
You ought not have to create new account for everything. Creating /adding a single gmail account will work for email and market and address / contacts, google+, maps, etc.
Having to clear browser cache / data - I do not "download" much, but browse a lot - including the picture / video rich sites. Have not much problem, though occassional clearing cache / restarting the browser does help speeding up page loading. Probably has to do with low device memory. Did use other third party browser - like dolphon (opera is the reason I moved away from Nokia), but am back to stock html viewer now.

Thanks for your input. I managed to set-up gmail under the email app but it wouldn't accept my hotmail account (it used to before the mod)
I have lots of free memory on both the device memory and sd card. I also have plenty free ram. My phone runs like a dream now to be honest.
I have just tried an apparent workaround by installing youtube on the phone, however although I can use it no problem, when I try to add an account I get this - Unable to authenticate user (before it even asks me to input my information!)
This really sucks =(
I can't sync or download anything through market.
Also, I have cleared the data and cache several times to no permanent avail, as I mentioned in first post.

Wifi -issue...i have this sometimes.But even in official 2.2.1.And this issue is when reconnect at same brodband or at remebered wifi networks.I solve this issue sample.
-Turn of your phone Wifi,disconnect your brodband from power energy,wait 10 seconds,plug in againr brodband,wait him to load ~1-2 minuts,after reboot your phone turn on again wifi and manual connect to wifi.After auto-reconnect will work a wile with no issues.
For other sync email and contacts you need to isntall googleapps.zip via CWM at first run setup your Gmail acount.After no issue with others.
Also you need to make a correct install of CM and googleapps.zip.
1.)Install official 2.3.4 KPI using tools from samfirmwares.
2.)After install CWM using ODIN like in tj's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167750
3.)Install CyanogenMod via CWM
4.)Boot up your phone and disconnect from 3g network and connect to wifi
5.)Reboot phone in recovery and flash googleapps.zip via CWM.
6.)Boot your phone and setup gmail acount.
7.)add your acounts and sync.
If you make this you shall not have any kind of issues with acounts sync ,only sometimes with wifi.

Hi, thanks for your suggestions - I've been waiting all day for a solution like this. I already have cwm installed as I said in first post. I will try reflashing as a last resort.
However, I am trying your theory on installing the google apps zip file through cwm now and will let you know how it pans out. Thanks!
Damn. Always something goes wrong! Log from cwm ; Finding Update package>Opening update package>verifying update package>E:signature verification failed>Installation aborted. Grrrrr
Previous installations have been fine through the choose zip from sd card. However, on attempting another zip (flash 10.2) also doesn't verify either (worked before)
Whats going on?? I'm at my wits end =P

You can toggle "signature verification" in CWM recovery menu. (Not sure where exactly that option is - but recovery menu is not too deep.

All, I am using CM7 for Galaxy Mini 09102011 and I have ony one problem:
Somehow the MAC address of the Wifi device in the phone is changing every time I disable and re-enable Wifi connection. This was a problem, since because of that I had to disable MAC address filtering in my home network just to prevent myself always setting the new MAC address in my router's MAC filtering "white list".
What I observed that the changing part of the MAC address is always the 2nd half (meaning the last 3 pair of hex numbers)!
Does someone know a fix how to prevent Wifi MAC changing?
Some people say that the don't have this experience with the previous release of CM7 for Galaxy Mini (01102011).
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

I haven't noticed this kind of problem before with CM7 personally and I wish I had a fix for you. Perhaps it may be better to back up and try a reflash? Assuming you haven't already tried that of course!
Sorry I don't have any other methods but I noticed nobody is replying to your question!

Yes, this problem is not there in CM7 01102011. You can try flashing it after a nandroid backup. I had similar problem with latest (09 10) CM7 so I restored my previous backup and everything is fine now...
I'm trying to connect my KFHD to my home network so I can access files on my NAS remotely. According to my little device I have to download an app that is compatible with my network - which would be either PPTP or OpenVPN. So far the apps I've tried don't work. Has anyone had any luck connecting to a network via VPN?
I have the same problem , if someone could help I'd really appreciate it.
Have you guys checked around the original kf forums. Even though we are different devices they software is pretty similair.

Basically, yes.
So far all the references to VPNs in the original Kindle Fire forums are for subscription based VPN services. I don't want to use someone else's VPN service to get around country restrictions (which is what it seems most people are trying to do). I'm trying to access my own VPN server so I can access my own files on my NAS and to secure my internet sessions if I'm at an unsecured hotspot.
It seems that Amazon has disabled VPN support entirely (kernel level?) so I can't get PPTP to work. OpenVPN would work if I could find a TUN module that works with the device (have tried TUN.KO installer with no luck) and would have to install BusyBox. I don't want to mess around too much since we don't have recovery in place and I don't have my factory cable yet to try to do a restore.
I can get SSH to work but that doesn't protect web browsing. The only way I can find to use SSH as a VPN is by installing OpenSSH. I guess I'll try that as soon as I get my Raspberry Pi up and running - I'm right now using my NAS as a VPN server (not too thrilled with that scenario).
If I find a solution I'll post it here.
same needs here? any news with vpn client for android? only thing I found is https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5kb2VudGVyLm9uZXZwbiJd but " This app doesn't yet work Android 4.0"
Now that I have resurrected by machine I was able to test Feat VPN (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5mZWF0dnBuLmFwcC5saXRlIl0.). It's a client for OpenVPN . I was able to successfully connect to my network remotely. The free version posted above will only work for 1 hour per day. There is a paid version that removes the 1 hour restriction.

I'm trying to connect my KFHD to my home network so I can access files on my NAS remotely. According to my little device I have to download an app that is compatible with my network - which would be either PPTP or OpenVPN. So far the apps I've tried don't work. Has anyone had any luck connecting to a network via VPN?

I use es file explorer to access files on my computer via the wireless network. Is that what you mean?

Feat VPN is now free (without the 1 hour restriction) if you download it from their website. Go to "featvpn dot com" (I can't post URLs) and get the version for Android 4.x
Can't you use FTP mode in ES File Explorer and connect to your ip address?
I don't want to run FTP unless absolutely necessary. Plus, VPN access allows secure browsing at open hotspots and gets me around Amazon's "only in the US" prime video viewing when I'm out of the states.
I have OpenVPN working fine. No need for anything special. You just need to root and install busybox installer (advanced install with symlinks). Then install and run OpenVPN installer.
No packets with OpenVPN
I managed to get OpenVPN installed on my rooted Kindle Fire HD and can setup a connection to a AlwaysVPN server.
But I can't get any packets routed - so no traffic at all....
It's not a DNS problem - I have the same problem if I use bare IP-adresses. And the FixHTC option in OpenVPN doesn't help either.
Can you share your OpenVPN script file ?

I got it working now. I just needed so set symlinks for ifconfig and route to the busybox:
mount -o remount, rw /system
ln -s /system/xbin/busybox /system/bin/ifconfig
ln -s /system/xbin/busybox /system/bin/route
mount -o remount, ro /system
