Please help with VPN - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all. I have a samsung galaxy s gt-I900M phone and I am trying to make my paid VPN work on it. It's called VyprVPN and does work well on my pc and laptop but not on this phone. IT is a PPTP connection , and it will connect on the phone but as soon as I try to use the internet it just does nothing , I have been searching and reading all I can on this issue.
Does anyone know what I can do to make this vpn connection work ? If it matters i am on the bell network and have tried with 3G and with wifi and get the same thing. Thanks for any replies !!

Really ? Noone knows how to make a pptp vpn connection work on a galaxy s ?

That's not what u were asking. U were asking about making some obscure vpn work that no one has heard about. What do u expect. My pptp vpns with dd-wrt work fine.

obscure vpn ? Its just a regiular pptp vpn that works great on my laptop and desktop pc but refuses to work on the galaxy s. Like i said it connects but won't let me surf anything , for the first 2 seconds it starts to work and stops and won;t do anything again but stays connected. Its an issue with the android system not the vpn subscription , which is a popular one .
Did you do anything fancy to make yours work ?

FROM MY VPN PROVIDER ::
Thank you for contacting Technical Support!
We use public dns 4.2.2.2. So there should not be any issues with DNS. PPTP
is the only VPN connection we offer. Have you attempted contacting
Galaxys support to assure their phone does not have an over ride built in
or if one of your apps is causing interference? We have other users that
have gotten this to work as well as developers.

nope nothing special.. try turning off encryption..

from fbvpn.com :
android needs special settings, and its encryption has some bug.
we are going to setup a new server only for android phone
but it won't be very fast, not proper for watching video
and another thing, if you need to use PPTPVPN on android, your message is not encrypted.
The vpn's i have subscribed to all require encryption so when i turn it off , they wont even connect. Any suggestions for a vpn that will work without it?

all over wherever I search about vpn and galaxy s noone has any answers. its a dead end street , why cant we get someone working on this ? i would pay out of pocket to have the vpn working on my galaxy s
and i dont mean someone set one up in thier house with no encryption

VPN connection (PPTP)

Hi there. Please anyone if has info on this:
Have you ever managed to connect through VPN and PPTP on a windows VPN server? And if yes HOW?
I have tried thousand of times to set My work network settings and nothing...
Thanks in advance
P.S. It seems it tries the connection, on the server side i CAN see the connection established but from the mobile side it seems to drop..
have also had problems gave up in the end but would love to get this working, anyone got a top three list of best VPN clients
SO... its a telephone company GAME.. another one!!!
They DONT let VPN passthough..!!!!!!! If someone wants to connect with VPN to his office/home needs another packet to activate (Cosmote Greece) which costs the same as the internet connection!!! They just want our money!!!
If i try this connection (VPN) through wireless internet works just fine!!!

reverse tethering

Dears,
I just finished to setup my laptop to be an AccessPoint for my nexus.
I did this creating a new ad-hoc wireless connection.
It works! ...for browsing websites
does not work for market or app web connection...
I configured proxy settings to enable websites browsing.
If I try change proxy settings on my phone, obviously websites browsing stops.
Note I'm inside an office network now and I cannot change or control about network setups.
any idea why android market does not work with my setup?
does market need some "special ports" opened?
help me please....
Just download connectify. It's a program that makes your computer a WiFi hotspot. I use it to get internet on my x 10, and it works flawlessly

eh......
I already tried... bit my network card is not supported by connectify...
The same with VirtualRouter.
The only way I has some success is as described before (ad-hoc network).
Please help me with that market issue...
Could it be that it's blocked by your company? Like can you go to youtube on your pc?
Like i understand you are using proxy to connect the net so http is allowd and all the others are closed.
correct: proxy is only working for http access.
I have troubles also with google sync, gmail, youtube, market etc...
I'm only able to surf the web via browser.
Note that wih my notebook I have access to all youtube... so cannot understand why it works whit notebook but does not work with nexusOne...
maybe notebook and nexus use different protocols or services that are closed by the proxy.
Any idea to make my ad-hoc network fully open?
I'm having trouble getting connectify to work... it loads up and runs fine on my Win7 x64 laptop, but when I try to connect with the N1 it appears to be eternally stuck at the "Obtaining IP Address" stage before it finally times out and the network state is reported as "Unsuccessful". I've tried both pulling the IP from DHCP and manually specifying a static IP address on the correct network, and I have attempted running both Android 2.1 and 2.2.
Even when specifying a static IP, I still get the "Obtaining address..." status before it fails out.
Any thoughts?
for me too: both with ad-hoc connection, Connectify (@home) or VirtualRouter (@home) I have same issue than you.
Sometimes n1 connects the wireless network with no problems, other times it dont connect the network... Dont know the reason. Only I saw that if you delete the ad-hoc network and create a new one it works... It's boring, I know... but works..
also I saw that @home connecting in same mode than in office I was able to navigate market, youtube and all other programs that need an internet connection .
This to confirm that the problem I'm having @office is caused by some LAN restrictions (filters, firewalls and something like this)
Cool, I'll give that a go when I get off work I suppose. I've only got about another week or so here in Afghanistan, but while I'm here the only accessible internet is a wifi access point that passes through a fairly restrictive firewall/proxy before hitting the satellite internet. I'm able to bypass the firewall and proxy if I use an ethernet connection on my laptop (luck of the draw: my room in the tent is the one with all the networking gear ), and was hoping I could use this Connectify or VirtualRouter business to then extend that internet offering to my N1. So far, no luck. Maybe I'll fight with it some more tonight and get somewhere with it.
Off-topic: How's Padova this time of year? I spent about three months up in Aviano back at the end of last summer and fall... absolutely gorgeous country.
Maybe is useful for you to knwo ho I'm able to surf web using browser on my N1 (using win7).
3 modes:
- ad-hoc network (pc-to-n1) directly from network control center of win7
- connectify (using a virtual access point)
- virtual router (same as connectify)
@ home: LAN without filters or restrictions. I'm able to surf web, use youtube player, market etc.
@ work: LAN with filters and restrictions. I'm able to surf web only.
These are my tests. I hope you will have more luck than me.
OT: Padova is great in this period. Weather is hot (25-28°), summer is starting. Unfortunatly in these days we have some rain but our "sunny season" is already started.
I know Aviano, there's a US militay base. Are you a soldier? I'm a fan of the "soldiers world" (I played for a long time a free online game called "America's Army" )
Sorry for OT

Thanks for the info
And no, I'm not a soldier, but I work as a civilian geek/technician/engineer for a US defense contractor that builds air/battlespace control systems - like a glorified Air Traffic Control. I get sent for a few months at a time to different locations that we have our systems to support the soldiers and airmen who use them.
Needless to say, Aviano has been the best assignment yet

If you can use everything @home this isn't a fault of your setup. everything gets blocked by the proxy server. if you really want it you have to talk with the administrator, i really doubt that he will do changes to please you.
for now i think it's impossible to use them.
ok... thanks for the bad news...

I have the same problem (ok, with a Desire). No IP obtained. OS is Win7/64 too.
Did you have any success in the meantime?
I think the market actually uses https:// ... is that set up as well? Even if it is, the phone might reject it because of redirecting certificate issues...
You're probably better off setting up a VPN on your home machine, or some server outside the network. Then VPN to that on your phone for open access (Of course u can buy vpn accounts from various companies too.)
What kind of proxy is it? Socks? http? remember most don't support UDP, and may only support port http or https.
How do you get N1 to see ad-hoc wifi? I tried but wasn't able to using stock froyo...

PPTP VPN with nexus one

Hi all,
I've been trying to get PPTP VPN to work for my nexus one a while now. However, I always receive the "server hang up" error. I tried my university VPN last few months, and ProXPN service just recently. Both are set up and run just fine on my laptop. I'm on CM 5.0.8 and connecting using wifi. I've read somewhere that the pptp client in 2.1 is buggy. Is it still the case with CM5.0.8?
Thanks!
Any help at all?
I wish I could offer help but I can't. I am in the same situation with my work VPN. At first I thought it may have been that NAT-T wasn't enabled on the VPN server (since Tmobile connections to VPN seem to need that) but it wasn't the case. A co-worker of mine has a MT3GS unrooted and his VPN connects flawlessly. I am wondering if there is something in the HTC Kernel that makes it work better. Maybe you should check to see if NAT-T is enabled on your VPN servers? Good Luck!
**Update**
When you put in your username try adding a space to the end then immediately delete it. then enter your password as usual.

[Q] Sip over VPN not working.

I'm trying to get a SIP account working over a VPN connection on my GS, however it fails to register whenever I'm connected by the VPN. My company has an external PBX that's only accessible over VPN, and when I'm in the office on wireless (which is already connected to the VPN) the SIP account works fine. Does anyone know a fix for this? I searched the forums but didn't turn anything up.
I did find this though... http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=14043 which seems to be the exact issue I'm having, but the link with the alleged fix is broken.
Anyone got any ideas? Cheers!
The SIP service that comes with Gingerbread does not work over a VPN. Try using Csipsimple or Sip Droid, i can connect using Csipsimple over a VPN.
Thanks for the tip, I've tried CSipSimple, looks really good but still won't let me connect over the VPN. Tried on 3g and wireless, same deal, connection refused. Works fine when I'm not on the VPN. Is there some setting in CSipSimple that lets you specify a VPN?
firewall VPN
Hi! This is my first post here in xda-developers. I just wanted to pitch in and maybe get an answer to my problem as well.
I've been trying to use CSipSimple thru a Fortigate VPN with a 3CX PBX System. I managed to register it using a L2TP VPN configured both in the Firewall and my Android phone (btw, it's a Samsung Galaxy Y Duos, Gingerbread 2.3.6 Rooted). I can make and receive calls on my phone, but I have one very annoying problem: I can't hear the person on the other end from my phone. They hear me just well (with awesome sound quality), but I can't hear them.
Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?
BTW, regarding the topic above: have you configured your Firewall to accept the VPN users? And maybe check ports 5060, 8000-8020, 9000-9020 to be open?
