VPN w/ Watchguard

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

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.

[FanZhang]Wifi Helper [May 11 update]

Hi All,
I've made a program supporting all originally supported wifi protocols as well as WPA/WPA2 enterprise protocols. This program can be used to set up connection with wireless networks using enterprise protocols.
What you need to do is to select proper protocol/authentification methods. Provide certification files if you have them. You can put certs files anywhere in your SD card. Then click OK.
You need to disable your wifi and re-enable it. Root is required.
Please visit my blog for more updates: http://fredzhung.blogspot.com/
** THIS IS NOT WELL TESTED, But works for Purdue University. (WPA ENTERPRISE WITH THAWTE_PREMIUM_SERVIER certs.)**
[UPDATE MAY-11] 1.0.2 RELEASE
ADDED SUPPORT FOR AD-HOC!
Added support for memorizing all configurations.
Need some test.
[EDIT] v0.2 RELEASE.
fixed a bug connecting to open network.
added support for anonymous indentity in EAP
added help/about
added input validation
changed icon

If this Wifi Helper doesn't work with your company's/school's wifi settings, please provide me your wifi setup so I can figure out what's wrong.

There seem to be a bug that first time run will hang. Close the program when the "force close" window pops up. Then run it again. Add the program to superuser list when asked.
This seem to be a bug for all applications requiring root access in android 1.5. I tested with terminal emulator and it has the same bug as well. Something is wrong with superuser program.

The app is uploaded to Market. Have fun!

Using this to access wifi on campus
Hi
I am a novice at all this root stuff so my questions is straightforward
a) If i buy a G1 (not rooted etc) and install this application from the market, i should be able to access my campus wifi? This is one reason why I am still using the iphone (unlocked on tmobile).
b) Is this likely to work even after the 1.5/cupcake transition that seems to be imminent?
Thanks
ps I am at LSU and here are some of the wifi details for the campus:
http://grok.lsu.edu/Article.aspx?articleId=8198

Hi, if you buy a g1 from store, you need to root it first before using this app. totorials for rooting your phone can be found on the sticky threads.
After you root your phone and use this app, you should be able to connect to your campus wifi. This is the purpose of this app.

May 11: 1.0.2 is released. Available in market

Hey zhang!
Great work, but i am having problems getting the ad-hoc to work.
It's been setup on my laptop and i have tried w/WPA & open to no avail.
The phone does not seem to detect the network.
I'm running 1.5 JF ADP.
Any thoughts as to what i might be doing wrong?
And thanks for the ad-hoc capability, been waiting on that one
Sean

Hi Sean,
I've been doing experiments with adhoc, I am not 100% sure adhoc will work. I will keep trying.

Great, great, great job!
I'm gonna buy the pro one, just as a "thank you"..

It seems it won't even detect my adhoc network
Hi. I use the free version (will buy it if it actually works) but I can't seem to even detect my adhoc networh. I use the ICS on XP laptop. I setup an open network with no encryption for the test but the G1 doesn't detect it (it sets it up and says it's unavailable, thus allowing me only to "forget" it). Do I have to change anything else on my device (for example the tiwlan.ini) so my device actually shows those elusive adhoc networks. Has anyone actually succeeded to setup properly an adhoc connection on G1 ever with any kind of software or is it like the UFO - we hear it exists but we've never actually seen it?

I cna't get it to work on my university's WPA2 Enterprise with a 'GTE CyberTrust Global Root' certificate (with extention cer).
I'm using a Vodafone Magic

I am also having a problem with a WPA2 enterprise setup.
It is a eduroam network.
On my computer I have entered the following setup in wicd:
encryption: PEAP with TKIP/MSCHAPv2
identity: my username
password: my password
In the wifi list (in the android system menu) the eduroam network shows as "Not in range, remembered"
I have another problem with the app itself: "Modify configurations" does not work. This makes it a hassle to try different encryption settings.
I know the network also works with PEAP with GTC, but don't know how to set that up.

Where did this go? It's no longer on the market. I can't find it anywhere!

Yeah, I was looking for this app and can't seem to find it anywhere. It disappeared. Does anyone have the apk?
Boogy

Try WiFi Buddy...free and works great.

All you had to do was go to his site...

[Q] Global Proxy Settings for wifi networks.

Hello there,
As we all know our Samsung Device does support Proxy Setting for wifi networks but it only works for default android browser. Is there any way that I can use the Internet behind the proxy setting through out the phone (including google maps, gTalk, etc etc) ?? Has anyone here has done it?? I have tried many apps like ASProxy, Transparent Proxy, ProxyDroid, Http Proxy Settings but none of them worked.
Secondly what is iptable module?? does our phone Samsung Galaxy S I9003 has that iptable module? I have froyo XWKB1 firmware. Some of the apps require iptable module to be on the phone.
Many people claim that they are able to use pxoxy setting through out the phone with all those third party apps but not me. Please do reply

Type opera:config in opera mobile url(not in opera mini)
You will find lots of options there including proxy. But i never used it.
BTW this is not development related question.

sorry for that, this is only forum for I9003 and I am depressed for that. I dont want peoples who own different phone answering this because I have searched hundreds of forums and blogs, those people claim that they are able to use Proxy Setting with the help of third party apps but not me ... This is only forum where all the I9003 owners hang out. Yes The method that you specified also works. I am also using it but I want to use android market, gTalk, Maps and all the apps.
Greetings

Root your phone and use proxydroid, that thing works globally, has context sensitive profiles and other features...

Oh! yeah! I have rootem my phone deodexed, applied CWM for XWKB1 also but that application didnot work for me. I have a query, have you tried the proxy settings in galaxy i9003 itself or any other phone? the proxy of my college is 192.168.1.100 and port is 3128 but I am not able to run it through out the phone.
Regards,

I use this program on this phone and my Galaxy Tab successfully with the proxy server at my work place. I use XXKPH with CWM by Skin and root through CWM method using leo's zip. You should be able to find these around here if you want to replicate my config.

Have you tried Orbot? It's not exactly what you want but it's a tor proxy :
Orbot is an application that allows mobile phone users to access the web, instant messaging and email without being monitored or blocked by their mobile internet service provider. Orbot brings the features and functionality of Tor to the Android mobile operating system.
Orbot contains Tor, libevent and privoxy. Orbot provides a local HTTP proxy and the standard SOCKS4A/SOCKS5 proxy interfaces into the Tor network. Orbot has the ability to transparently torify all of the TCP traffic on your Android device when it has the correct permissions and system libraries.

I'm almost sure we have this module in our kernel.

Solution for global proxy problem on Android devices
Hi all,
I found a setting that worked on my device. I believe it will work for almost all other devices running at last Android 3.3 as this is a requirement for the app SandroProxy. Note that no rooting of the device is required. Try the following steps;
Install SandroProxy
Add your WiFi authentication parameters to SandroProxy. Details such as the domain, user name, proxy address and password.
On your WiFi setting, long press on the SSID and select the "Modify network config". This can be found under Settings>Wifi>[SSID]
Under proxy, type "localhost"
Under port, input the port beign used by SandroProxy, default is "8008"
Thats is
Enjoy

Is there a Way to make CC work with a VPN??

Hello
I have a App which is blocked by my ISP
When I install a VPN the app works PERFECTLY on my PHONE , however CC does not work, (im guessing its because the VPN chnages my IP so cc cant recognise it )
What can I do?
Is there a way to modify the VPN so e.g it makes THAT SPECIFIC APP use e.g US IP BUT EVERYTHING ELSE is normal ??? or am I lost in la la land??
Thank You very much! Would SOO Appreciate it and give a small reward if someone could find a way to solve this puzzle

I don't think that VPN will work with an unrooted CC. And even with a rooted its not really possible I guess.
The people here are using special DNS Services combined with some magic stuff inside their routers (redirecting Google DNS for Chromecast to another DNS which unblocks Netflix for example in Germany).

People do make this work, but it can be a bit tricky, and you might find it beyond your technical ability if you are not very experienced with routers and networking.
The Chromecast and the app casting to it have to be on the same local network so that the app can see the Chromecast. An app using a VPN when the Chromecast is not will put them on two different networks, and the app won't see the Chromecast. If you are going to use the VPN, then it has to apply to both of them. Since the Chromecast has no support for VPNs, you have to set up the VPN in your router. Not every router can do that - typically only routers with optional firmware like DD-WRT. If you have this support in your router, you'll need to look up the instructions in your router's documentation.
If your goal is to get around geoblocking, then other alternative is to use a DNS proxy service instead of a VPN. This can also be a bit tricky with the Chromecast. Since it doesn't allow manual DNS settings in the device, you have to do it using your router. It's even worse with North American models because they are set to use Google DNS by default, so you have to block or redirect Google DNS to force it to use your DNS settings (apparently this does not apply to the just-released European firmware). The details of this method are given in other threads here, so I won't repeat them. You'll need to subscribe to a DNS proxy service (not the same as a VPN, although many VPN companies also offer a DNS proxy service).

TAB S2 LTE. How to make it to forget obsolete Networks

Hello dear fellows.
I've updated my S2 LTE today through OTA from version 5.0.2 to version 6.0.1.
While in 5.0.2, I contacted Samsung about a procedure to make the S2 to forget obsolete networks, since the usual method does not work, because networks not in range are not shown!
Except for another guy asking the same question (somewhere), I didn't found anything in the net about this issue, I don't know if people already realized the problem... (seems all people is quite busy getting root and/or the new firmware).
So, Samsung told me the feature is not available, that I should backup with Kies and do a factory reset! UNACCEPTABLE!!!
I wait for the 6.0.1 hopping that the problem was solved in this version, but NOOO, they MEAN it. IT IS NOT available!
So...
- Does anyone one of you manage to find a way to make the S2 to forget / delete old unused networks?
- Does anyone find acceptable the actual status quo of the problem?
- Is there someone with a reasonable explanation for this feature being removed from S2 firmware? (At least some explanation I can swallow)?
Thank you all.

I think it's just sloppy thinking from the developers. Of course one should be able to get a list of known/saved WiFi networks and delete from the list accordingly. I can do it on my Nexus 6P running N preview 3. Maybe this app can be used to achieve this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mdroidapps.wifimanager
One should also be able to see the password for saved WiFi networks without having to be rooted. Yes, it's a security risk but Windows and Linux let you see the password in clear text.
Android still have a bit of maturing to do.
And while we're at it - what I really want is being able to change DNS servers while on mobile data. When limited to your carriers DNS servers you are unable to connect to DNS blocked sites like in example some torrent sites. I would like to set my DNS to my Raspberry Pi running pi-hole and get DNS adblock even though I'm on mobile data. But this is only possible using a VPN app.

Thank you for the reply.
I've tested the app "wifi manager". It did not work as expected!
- The app indeed show the list of all networks even the ones not in range / obsolete.
- The app indeed allow the 'forget' procedure.
I use then the 'forget' procedure in a old network. The app says "wait....", but after that, the old network is still showing in the list no matter how many times you apply the procedure, no matter if you close and reenter the app. That means, the app is useless for the purpose to delete old networks, at least in the Tab S2 device.
I don't know it this issue is just a developer's sloppy thinking, or if this is Samsung stink over all of us. I think it is the later...
Sorry I do not know any way to change connection DNS the way you need, or any other way for that matter.
Still looking.
