Has anyone figured out how to get OpenVPN working on a Motorola Milestone?
I tried to using the OpenVPN Installer and OpenVPN Settings apps from the Android Market but was not able to get it working.
Made some progress but still not working...
I've managed to install the OpenVPN binary to /system/bin.
Got a Motorola Milestone Tun.ko driver from, http://code.google.com/p/sbdtools/downloads/list. It's been copied to /system/lib/modules. I've been able to enable it using the insmod command in adb shell. Verified it was running with the lsmod command.
I've moved my openvpn .ovpn config files to my SD, /sdcard/openvpn folder. Started the OpenVPN Settings app, configured the tun and path settings.
Then I started my connection and was able to obtain an IP address.
BUT... still not able to surf to Youtube or other China blocked sites.
The upload & download stats appear to be not moving, even when I try to surf to one of these websites (up: 0.02kBps - down: 0.02 kBps).
Will continue at it for some more, but if anyone is able to help, that would be much appreciated.

Hi, same here.. I am based in China and have done the steps you mentioned... I can connect to OpenVPN but there is no traffic.. I subscribe to 12vpn and called the helpdesk, they told me it could be due to DNS poisoning.. but really doubt that.. I got it working like once the first time but never did again...

I've also installed open VPN to system/bin on the droid 2 running 2.2.19. My config and certs have been transfered to /mnt/sdcard/openvpn and I've also setup my config in the open VPN GUI (available on the droid market) to point to this directory for my config.
After launching the app and attempting to connect, I get an error message that the command was not successful (the error is a bit more verbose than that).
I did find another app on Droid market that got me a bit closer to connecting called openVPN settings. The error output on this app is much more verbose and aids troubleshooting better. I was able to workout all of the application problems, but my issue now is with the tun.ko module. It appears that the downloadable modules online are for 2.1 and prior as none seem to work with 2.2. I have the module copied to /system/lib/modules and the app (openvpn settings) has a feature that loads the module (either by modprobe or insmod, you can choose). My problem now is that the tun.ko module seems to be wrong as I keep getting the error "Fatal: cannot allocate tun/tap dev dynamically."
Have either of you come accross this same issue?
Hi, I have running OpenVPN without problems. I use OpenVPN Settings from market, tun.ko on /sdcard and openvpn binary in /system/xbin. Make symlink ln -s /system/xbin /system/xbin/bb. Both files are in this archive http://www.android-hilfe.de/attachm...openvpn-auf-dem-milestone-tun_und_openvpn.zip. Working openvpn.ovpn + CA files in /sdcard/openvpn. In OpenVPN Settings set up Load module using - insmod and Path to module /sdcard/tun.ko. And OpenVPN is working. If not, try run from konsole : insmod /sdcard/tun.ko
Motorola Light 2.1 ROM + JIT
On CyanogenMod 6 for Milestone you need only tun.ko. No openvpn binary, no create symlink. In OpenVPN Settings only set up insmod and path to tun.ko.

No worries ZS-Man, your English is much better than some people who are born speaking the language.
I unfortunately already tried loading the kernel module by command line with root (#) access and it gives me this error message:
insmod: init_module '/data/tun2.ko' failed (Exec format error)
I've tried many different versions of the tun.ko file available online. None seem to work with 2.2.20 OS (2.6.32 kernel)
Android version (2.1 or 2.2) is not important, only tun.ko must be compiled from same sources as kernel. You must search module for milestone2, or compile it by yourself from milestone2 kernel sources. Another nice app is Tunneldroid , it has log viewer - good for debugging openvpn connection.
help help help vpn issue
iam from a country that google does not support the market within
i installed the vpn and all works great market apps every thing but 3days later
the market wont open looks like the ip address from us has been blocked(internet sharing device located in us) and i was unable to open market again any way that i can chage the ip or howoften the company changes the ip address (cause its the same every time i connect vpn) or is there a way to use the vpn settings with another server provider than the freeopenvpn.com
where i can download another zip file with configuration to another server
help me please i ll die
hi. I installed CM6.1.2 for milestone (thanks doshaska) beta on my milstone (not droid) mainly because I really want to use openvpn .
However there seems no tun/tap module in /system/lib/modules (i first looked /lib/modules hoping modules lies in the normal linux module path) and also can't connect to the openvpn server with the default vpn setting program.dmesg says "Cannot allocate TUN/TAP dev dynamically"
Is the missing tun module the reason ? If so , any possiblity in the future that someone can compile the tun module for the CM6 kernel?
btw, I heard something about 2nd-boot . Is there any possiblity to run a complete new kernel avoiding the the damn locked bootload using the 2nd-boot?
PS: sorry for my poor english....
Hi all,
I'm trying to get VPN to work with nookie froyo 0.6.8 SD boot, but have no luck with it.
Does anyone have it working?
I have installed VPNC widget and with"check prerequisites" i get
Error: no access to TUN device!
Error: TUN device missing!
Error/Warning: kernel has advanced routing disabled - cannot track dchp ip changes during vnpc session
Sorry, the VNPC Windget will not work on this phone!
I got it working on emmc see here
Hello! I'm a newbie around here and in the Android land in general so please have mercy if I'm saying or doing something wrong here!
I just bought an S5570 and did an OTA update to 2.3.5 with kernel 2.6.35.7-perf-CL650682.
The problem is when I've tried to install OpenVPN. I've used the apps, got superuser, busybox, tun.ko installer, openvpn-installer and openvpn-settings.
I've loaded the module tun.ko manually (and moved to /system/lib/modules ), it loads fine, but when I cd /mnt/sdcard/openvpn and do openvpn client.conf the connection is established but then the phone restarts instantly.
I don't know what could be the problem, the module (tun.ko), the openvpn binary, or what? The client.conf file is fine, it works for my laptop so I don't think there's a problem with the conf file.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Ok, problem solved by flashing with emanoN v4
Hi, I can't run my Anyconnect VPN after i flashed the Rocketrom v22. i got a msg saying" A Tun/Tap driver could not be located. Please ensure a TUN/TAP module is compiled with your kernel or located in /data/local/kernel_modules/"
can anyone share a TUN/TAP driver for RocketROM v22? thanks
the tun.ko file is in /lib/modules
but you might have to move it to /system/lib/modules or something
dunno if it works tho
