I tired to connect to different vpn serves and using different protocols includingPTP with encryption, PPTP without encryption, L2TP/IPSEC PSK and none of the were successful. I can connect using PC easily.
I called samsung and the support guy said it hasn't any problem. But after I investigate on web I notices that many people have the same problem. Do you, I mean galaxy tab owners, experienced the same problem and can anybody solved that?

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
Hello
I'm unable to use a VPN connection with my SGT.
When i connected to my VPN with PPTP there is no data going through.
When i try L2TP, the connection never goes up.
Everything is working fine with other devices (PC, Mac, iphone)
It seams there is an issue with the vpn client.
Are you aware of these issue and or workaround?
thanks for you help
Nobody knows what is the issue ? I ve read that there is a problem with the vpn client
I have had a Verizon GT and now have an AT&T GT. I could never get the VPN client working with the Verizon unit and it worked the first time with the AT&T unit. The firmware is different (and I believe, later) on the AT&T model. I believe there is a problem that appeared in early firmware and was fixed at some point. I haven't seen a fix, but I was able to find third party software that worked with the routers that I need to connect to. Sorry I can't help more.
I have a vzw tab that was connecting with no problems over vpn until the last vzw patch. now it doesn't work...tun.ko loads fine and the vpn says connected but ifconfig never shows any tunnel interfaces and it doesn't work.
I may have to revert to a pre-update and finally bite the bullet and install a custom rom. such a pain in the ass.

I am running a wifi only (GT-P1010) with stock FROYO.UEKC6 and the 2.6.32.9 kernel and I cannot connect to a PPTP VPN either. Is there even a rom that works with this thing that will fix it? I was hoping to stay mostly stock with this device but if VPN doesn't work I have to do something. That's the main reason I bought it.
Strange thing is that it works fine on my Vibrant and has for a long time. Though I can also connect to my Ad-hoc AP on my phone unlike a lot of other people I have seen posting.
Hello, PPTP VPN is working fine here with a euro gsm gtab. Stock rom + overcome kernel.

The wifi only models are different from the gsm and cdma models.
VPN issues are related with the firmware you are running, so I'd suggest you if u got a GSM tab, flash the rotor JMI which known for working with VPNs.

Are there any roms that work on the wifi only tab that has vpn running on it? It is stupid that Samsung has not fixed this on a tablet. I really need to find a solution.
Samsung Support refuses to respond about vpn problem
I think VPN problems are well known by Samsung. I have emailed Samsung support twice inquiring for my registered Galaxy Tab wifi version and they have not responded so I'm considering returning the tab and getting an ipad. Apple support is first rate. Samsung won't even respond!
The pb seems to be from the froyo.
It may be fixe with android 2.3

Lets try this:
Check whether your laptop can get an IP from your wifi.
I. YES
- Turn on wifi on your note.
- Go to Applications -> Settings -> Wifi settings.
- Look down at Wifi network.
- Touch into the name of your wifi then choose "Forget network".
- Turn off wifi on your note.
- Turn it on again.
- Enter the key and see what's happen.
II. NO
- Check your router configuration.
If you hav have enabled mac protection on router, reset it.

Hi,
Laptops x3 and other peoples phones can get onto WiFi ok, both at work and at home, my Note Will connect ok to the BTFON / BTOpenzone (off of the same routers) with no problems again both at work and at home. We have changed nothing with the routers (BTHome hub 2 and BTBusiness hub at work).
Can you advise what to check with the router as all seems to be in order for all other WiFi devices, it's just my Note that is having a fit and wont connect?
Many Thanks

Hi, Re mac protection, the routers auto set up and I am unaware how to check re mac protection. I cant understand why has my Note decided to stop connecting out of the blue?
I have similar issues.
I have setup a WIFI hotspot and all my non-Android devices can login without any issues (Notebooks x2, iphone3, iphone4, ipad), however my Note and my Blade (all running 2.3.6) and an Acer A500 Tablet (running Android 3.1) cannot connect.
The android devices see the hotspot and will attempt to get an IP, but most of the time will not succeed.
Any suggestions?
I'm having the same problem with the "stuck at obtaning IP address" problem.
Just got my Note 2 weeks ago and am still not able to connect to the internet using wifi.
I can't connect to my home wifi nor starbucks nor any other public wifi. When i use static address, i was able to connect to my home wifi BUT could not use the internet. I really do not know what to do...PLEASE HELP!!!
I too have experienced this. Running stock 2.3.6 + root. happened with lots of different routers. Usually solved with power cycling router & note wifi. Very annoying.
I think (personally), it has nothing to do with the Note at all, BUT on most samsung smartphones...
I read somewhere that Sammy's phones have a weak side in detecting and connecting to any wifi device...
I personally tested this also with my Note, side by side with my friend's Nokia, a Blackberry and a Galaxy Nexus as well.. both Samsung phones stucked at "Obtaining IP address..." for some time, while the two phones (Nokia and the blackberry) connected thru wifi with ease... no problems at all..
I have same problem periodically at my sister's house, especially when a lot of other mobile devices using the router. If you google the issue there are many with same problem.
Simplest way to solve it for me has been to unplug & then plug the router back in. Rather annoying.
I had same prob with my galaxy tab... Forgetting a network won't help..
Nor there is fault of router...
Google this problem you will find results with solutions for xda only... (did the same but don't remember the link)
Al t bst!!

I am on note2 BT homehub2and having identical issues. Did you get a fix?
Hello guys,
I have a Galaxy S III Mini (i8190) with the official 4.1.2 ROM installed, i never installed a custom ROM on it and it was never rooter so: never modified,
The problem is that it is causing General internet Disconnects when it's connected to the WiFi. Not only the internet stops working on the phone, but also on all devices connected to the same router the internet drops.
I searched on several forums for a fix and some people suggested disabling "WMM" in router settings which works (the internet is stable); But i find WMM to be a very good feature and i want to keep it enabled.
I have also tried different routers and definitely the problem is not the router.
So i came here to ask anyone here to please! give me a real solution, that works with WMM enabled on the router.
Thank you for the will to help,
Gabriel
I experience continuously dropping wifi connections on my s3 mini while other devices have no issues
Hope flashing a custom rom will solve this...

I still need help with my problem if anyone is able to help.
I just changed from DSL to Cable Broadband and I'm having a rather peculiar problem. Most of the time I get time outs from hosts using my Samsung Galaxy S4 Active SGH-I537 phone while my other wireless devices work fine (Win Laptop, Ipod). My phone works well on WiFi at work, but it's not getting along with my Arris (Model: TG862A) Cable modem. I haven't updated the custom phone's firmware (5.0.1) or anything. I can ping sites and other devices in my network, but a lot of times can't access websites. I have even thought if it was the DNS server and I have changed to Google's DNS Servers and entered the server's IP address, but nothing. I get brief moments where everything works fine and then it's gone.
Just wanted to know if anyone has had a similar problem.
