I've searched many treads and also put up a few posting in the past.
I know Anyconnect is not available for the Xoom/Andriod OS at this time, but has anyone found an "easy" way to connect to a Cisco VPN system.
I was able to install certs as needed and tried a few workarounds, but no luck.
This is the a must have for me and I know a lot of others.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for the response...
Couple of questions
You mentioned rooted? Did you change kernel also?
3g or Wifi model? (I have Wifi)
When you say VPN connections, do you mean a app or the stock connect in the system?
Did you tranfer your certificates to the Xoom?
Sorry for all the questions. I've had a Gtab since November and just picked up a Xoom after holding out for a month.
Glad I made the purchase.....

I should mention the Cisco VPN I'm connecting to only uses grou passwords
I'm using the 3G model, and it is rooted with the tun.ko module available from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=972550&highlight=tun.ko.
VPN Connections is a root app available from http://code.google.com/p/get-a-robot-vpnc/

The problem is, that the VPN Connection with anyconnect is totally unstable and with all the other Cisco VPN-concentrators its the same problem. That is the result of how android is programmed. i Tried to get a stable cisco-vpn connection on a nexus one, nexus s and optimus speed. All failed. You had to copy a tun.ko file, specific for the phone. then you where able to connect to a normal cisco vpn concentrator (not anyconnect concentrator). but that worked only once. every time after that, the vpn connection was so unstable i could only get it up for some secounds. thats why i bought an iPhone as smartphone and use the xoom as tethering.
what i want to try the next few days is, connect with the free iOS Any-Connect / VPN protocoll on the iPhone and then tether my xoom to use the same connection there. dunno if it will work

So far, that is the only way I can get a "connection." However, there does not appear to be any traffic going across the connection and VPN Connections hangs when I try to disconnect. Any suggestions? Thanks.
I've also had no luck connecting to my work VPN. We use Cisco Anyconnect and SecurID. The Cisco rep has been saying a client is in the works but nothing so far. This is the only think keeping the Xoom from really being a laptop replacement for me. Sucks.
Agreed!

I can't connect either but my setup is a little different. I log into Cisco SSL VPN Service through the website, which requires UN/PW/Group. When connecting for the 1st time on a device, it downloads and installs the VPN client. Through this method it performs:1)Platform Detection; 2)ActiveX; 3)Java Detection; 4)Sun Java; 5)Download & 6)Connected. But when signing in using my Xoom it hangs at step 5(Download). It displays a link, Linux i386, but it does nothing when clicking on it. Does anyone have this file or know a way around this?
The problem is google wont allow cisco into the kernal. The app is done at Cisco, but google is holding up the show. Cisco also has a new light weight vpn client that is more of an on demand app that will work with Jabber. (which works on xoom, i have it loaded)
What is the name of the light weight app that works on the Xoom?

if you flash the tiamat kernal and install the tun.ko you should be able to use the updated VPNC to connect just fine. i use my SecurID with this same setup and tunnel in daily for work. it sure does beat carrying a laptop around.
Also, Office chat is a office communicator app if your work uses it. basically i never have to carry a laptop around. I also use evernote. Onenote is great but evernote stores in the cloud and syncs to my phone, laptop, and xoom instantly will no setup necessary. Try it out.
Thanks for the tip Holsum. My Xoom isn't rooted yet but I'll investigate for my NexusOne which is already rooted and I'm very familiar with hacking on it. I'll give your suggestion a try and see if it helps.
When I run the vpn widget and test prerequisites it says that it doesn't have root. I am rooted running the newest tiamat kernel and the superuser app popped up and allows me to grant the app root... any idea why it thinks it doesn't have root?

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!

When you put in your username try adding a space to the end then immediately delete it. then enter your password as usual.
I keep reading that this is possible on the hero, both with and without rooting... I know this is a noob move, but will anyone forgive me and point me to the right forum to accomplish this?
Go to the Market and search for Easy Tether. There is a free app and paid app.
tried that, but it doesn't make the phone into a wifi hotspot... unless i'm missing something...
AFAIK, the only way to do what you want is to root and use this app, Wireless Tether for Root Users

+1 this is the only way that I have found. And Btw this makes a wifi tether via ad hoc and therefore is not an actual hotspot. Think tether not router.

Yeah, it's not infrastructure mode, but you can still connect multiple devices at the same time. Some devices won't connect to ad hoc though

Since I have only ever connected one device at a time to my phone, how much slower is the internet connection when more than 1 device is attached at the same time?
Two works ok, but three surfing at once seems to push it

What if I use my linksys router as a repeater or repeater bridge?
Hell I will try it tomorrow and let you know. I have dd-wrt flashed on my router and I can change my wireless mode to anything. i also have 2 separate wireless reapeters.

Yes, that should work in theory. Don't know if it matters or not but our devices run wireless tether in ad-hoc mode, not infrastructure

I know, but I'm hoping that my router will detect it.
I saw a post on the Incredible boards that they got their wifi tether to work in AP mode... is that not possible for us?
also, I've connected up to 5 devices to my phone at once and it doesn't go too slow as long as my phone has a decent ev/3g signal.
I have a rooted Bionic and I have paid my $30/month for the official tethering capability. I can get my laptop and Xoom to connect to the Bionic and get an IP address. However, the Xoom and Laptops cannot get access to the internet. Pulling up a browser on the phone shows that there is an active 4G internet connection.
I was at Motorola today and was able to try some of their Bionic's and I was able to connect to them from my Xoom without issue and get on the web.
So my main question is, does anyone have a rooted Bionic working with the official Verizon HotSpot?

I have been able to get it working rooted with deblurred 1.6 1.7 and 1.8. I also connect my Xoom to it as well.
Strange. Looks like the phone is not giving a DNS server to my Xoom or laptop. When I configured the DNS on the laptop to be 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.8.4 I was able to get a connection. And it was FAST! 10M down and 3M up!
So how do I fix this? Anyone?
I'm paying for the hotspot too and have no issues with my Bionic. The hotspot works great for me with 3 different PCs, an Eye-fi card, and a Viewsonic G-Tablet. I'm on stock, rooted. Something is definitely wrong for you, just call Verizon tech support and they'll help you with the issue.
If you have to goto the store, be sure to unroot your phone before going in. It's best to avoid getting your account flagged for rooting.

The alt server is 8.8.4.4, for your xoom and your laptop, try renewing your lease. May have a stale IP.
Missed that, Thanks for catching the DNS mistake. Changed to 8.8.4.4

Do u have masqed crusader installed on ur Bionic? Had the same issue w/ laptop and iphone connecting via the bionic mobile hotspot. Masqed crusader caused the issue for me, flashed the rom and was good, minus the troublesome app..

I did have it and thought it might be the culprit, so I told it to undo itself and then I uninstalled it. Might not have completely gotten out of the way, huh? I started this thread after I had uninstalled it.
I don't want to have to deal with reflashing back to stock just to get DNS working, hopefully there is another way. I'll contact the app author...
I also have this issue. I've just been working around it by staticing the DNS servers...
Issue solved
I grabbed /system/bin/dnsmasq from a Nandroid backup and replaced the version that Masqued Crusader left around and now everything is back to normal with tethering. The developer was very helpful in debugging this.
Hopefully a new version of MC will preserve the original dnsmasq.

I have the exact same problem, but I wasn't thinking ahead enough to make a Nandroid backup before installing this Masqued Crusader thing...arrrg!
I have a custom ROM based on the official 2.3.5 ROM (3.12.405.1) and the HTC WiFi Hotspot application doesn't work. The app starts and wireless devices can associate with it and lease IP addresses via DHCP but they can't access the Internet. I think its a NAT problem in the application because I can resolve names from my PC as the phone is proxying the DNS lookups - i.e. open a command prompt on my PC and type 'nslookup www.google.com' and I get valid answers. If I try to access the Internet with the browser it fails.
I have downloaded android-wifi-tether and this works as long as the 'Routing Fix' is checked in the settings. I was hoping not to have to have this alternate WiFi Tether application and use the integrated one.
Just tested USB Tethering and the results are the same - i.e. PC gets an IP address and can resolve names but can't access the Internet. I assume this is something fundamental in the NAT/Routing being done by the phone?

Really weird... Sounds like your mobile data connection is down. (I'm sure you already checked that)
Flash some other ROM with same base and try.

I can access the Internet on the phone when its running so I know there is connectivity. As I say I think its something fundamental with the NAT/routing on the phone - I am not sure how to debug it further?

I am not sure why but this fixed it for me:
http://androidforums.com/1734672-post32.html
I assume with Orange the WiFi Hotspot App uses this 'Consumer Broadband' connection and not the default 'Orange Internet' connection. I was tempted to delete the 'Consumer Broadband' APN and see what happens, a job for another day though as I need to use it at the moment.

Hi guys,
I only noticed it recently, when I have VPN session running on my mobile, I lose the access to my home network and can't see Chromecast. It only started when I upgraded my HTC One to KitKat, it was not an issue before. Is there a setting or something obvious that I am missing here? I am running OpenVPN app, but also tried the commercial one HMA with the same problem.
Hope someone can help.

Usually VPN clients have the option to not route certain traffic through the VPN. Configuring to not route Chromecast through the VPN should leave Chromecast visible unless there's also some multicast discovery being filtered out by the VPN as well.
I had to go through a very advanced setup on my firewall to get the cc to cast on my same network but use the VPN at the same time..
Hint: ISP redundancy.

The way I did it was have two routers - one with a Roku and the other a Chromecast. The Router with the Chromecast has a US DNS and the other stays as a Canadian address. Works well. Though I do occasionally forget how it is set up. But between them I can work around most Geo Issues.
