Anybody out there successfully doing IPsec VPN on a windows mobile device ?
I'm having a devil of a time getting anything working.
Thanks,

OK how about IPsec VPN with ANYTHING [email protected]#$?

Well, I finally got my Android Samsung Galaxy S3 (ICS) phone to connect to the Watchguard XTM 5 Firmware: 11.5.2 using IPSec. I followed the directions given by watchguard for connecting an IOS/OSX device. Then it was a matter of what VPN client to use. The default Android ICS VPN client under network settings would not work. I noticed that Samsung included a Third Party IPSec VPN client "AuthenTec VPN Client v2.5.1" (not able to find it in the Google Play store). This app did the trick with the default IPSec settings for Preshared Key IKEv1, with the Aggressive mode checked. My co-worker has the Samsung Nexus Tablet with Jellybean (4.1.1) and the native VPN tool works from that version, with default settings.
This discovery brings happiness and rejoicing to our entire IT team who all have Android phones or Tabs. I use 2X for RDP, (which works well), and "ES File Explorer" (free) for SMB file browsing. With these two tools I can do just about everything I did on my laptop. Anyone have better or more tools than these?
I have also tested IOS and Mac OSX 10.6.8 native VPN tool and they work well, as well as the original SSL client that has always worked.
WatchGuard should totally go public with this, many would benefit. It works great! (I wonder if there are some security holes that they are aware of that's preventing them from announcing Android support officially...)
can you share sir what app you used for us to use? i have and S3 also and we have a Watchguard XTM 5

The only available client that I have been able to get work is ncp vpn client with a mobile user ipsec tunnel to connect to my watchguard x515
Ran trial for a week and just pulled the trigger.. Very happy.

Re: Proxy support on android
Is there a way to route all the traffic down a port so that it goes through an ssh tunnel? i can use connectbot to create the tunnel, and using the anycut method to access the proxy settings. But only the google browser uses these settings, and it only seems to apply when using gprs not wifi.
Is there a relativily easy way to route the traffic down the tunnel so that for instance secure browsing can be accomplished over unsecure wifi connections?
thanks

I would love to know this, too.

There's VPN support built into most Android ROMs... try that.
Thread moved to Q&A.

Would that route everything over the tunnel, including browser, Google Calendar app, third-party apps, DNS, etc?
Need to set group namem for my VPN connection.
Doesn't look like android supports this.
Anybody know where I might find info?
I use the VPN software downloaded from the Market. And the setup of GroupName and GroupPwd you can refer to the bleow settings.
IPSec ID =GroupName
IPSec secret = GroupPwd
For more details you can check the below link:

That would work, if you have root.
Donut appears to only support L2TP/IPSec VPN (RFC 3193).
It looks like you are trying to connect to an implementation of Cisco-like VPN which would require a Group name and Group Password. Donut does not appear to support this yet.
Like binchen said, you can use the Android port of vpnc and as scoob said, this does still require root.
Luckily I have root, so that shouldn't be too much problem.
Thanks!
i have a root
but i got force close immediately

wht is that how to use it????
well..
it is in the Wireless settings section. i guess you should use L2 IPSec.
briefly: have to set up a VPN server/connection point at home or wherever, and you'll connect to that from anywhere given that there's an open outbound port to the internet where you are currently. than a connection will be built up creating a "tunnel" through which your packets will be transferred to the VPN host where itt could be routed and NAT-ed to the internet unrestricted.
adding IPSec or other methods of encryptions will make your connection secure.
i've never tried it on my phone but since its based on linux it must be the same way as at desktop system.
you should check documents and howtos on the internet and check for apps at Market if the androids builtin is not satisfying!

Use Froyo by Laszlo it supports proxy over wifi
I've been running different builds of Cyogenmod7 for quite a while & I can't get VPN (PPTP or OpenVPN) to work through the Cyogenmod settings or with 1VPN. I can, however, get it a VPN to run with OpenVPN Settings (from the market). However, OpenVPN settings is a bit of a pain since I have to enter in my username/password everytime I connect.
Anyone know how to either have OpenVPN settings remember my username/password or know of a rom that works with 1VPN?
Thanks!
I gave up on trying to get VPN to work, ended up being more of a pain then was worth it. I instead setup an SSH server on my Home computer and connect to it using ConnectBot app. Using Port Forwarding in the app I can access pretty much whatever I would of wanted to on a VPN like VNC, SMB, Upnp Media Server, ect... Everything done over the SSH is Encrypted as well so you could use it even on an Open/Public WiFi connection without fear. Only thing I have yet to try to do is forward Internet Browsing over the SSH connection, would probably require me to setup a Proxy server on the PC.
