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.

Has anyone tried this app for tethering their data connection? It's $6.99 and I don't feel like paying for it if it isn't going to work.
I've not tried TetherBlue yet.
I have tried EasyTether ($9.99) and PDANet (I think $23).
Both are free as long as you don't access HTTPS secured web sites.
Most email services require HTTPS.
If you need access to secured sites, you will most likely need to pay for something.
Good luck!
I'm using Linux so I'm searching for an alternative.
I don't know how much of a hassle it is(I've have yet to buy an app), but you are supposed to be able to get a refund within 24 hours for any app you don't want. Just wanted to make sure you knew.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
I wish this one worked
I have used http://code.google.com/p/proxoid/ on windows 7 and linux.
Its nice and free, but I have only used it as a proxy for firefox to go through, so it only really offers web browsing, but i did not get charged for any tethering.
Just wondering if there is an app out there that will allow me to connect to youtube or pandora cause my work's wifi blocks the use of these apps. I currently work at The Home Depot on the freight team and we are allowed to listen to music after the store closes as we put away new freight.
Home Depot is now putting wifi into all of their stores but the downside is apps like youtube and pandora are blocked and also their websites are blocked so we cannot access them.
Just need an app that will connect me to a proxy or someway get around these blocks while on wifi.
depends on how it's blocked, if it is blocking the IP itself, then you will have to proxy or something, and it it's just blocking by DNS, all you need is a manual hosts entry.
Google has free DNS servers u can use.

If your phone is rooted you can probably use tor to get around it.
why not just use 3G?

i thought about that but it doesnt seem to happen that much when you are in love with this phone lol
You can try using orbot. itll run your phone through the TOr network which has always been good and worked well with my schools wifi! you need to be on 2.1 though, i hear there are isssues with 2.2
http://www.torproject.org/docs/android.html.en
You can use the advanced settings on your wifi connection to enter your proxy of choice. You could set up your own proxy at home using several scripts and what not found across the web.
I would link you to some, but as an IT Consultant, I hate when people try to circumvent my settings to keep all the users safe, even if it's something that won't cause problems and in this case most likely they do it as they have low amounts of bandwith and 2 or more people streaming youtube music or pandora could bring the network to a halt for other users.

Are you someone who uses a free or modded/hacked VPN service & do you feel safe doing so?
I subscribe to tor***** VPN & proxy services & pay quarterly for a great rate. Tor***** is a paid service but offers things that I don't see mentioned in the free VPN provider apps. Tor***** is a zero log service that doesn't record what you do nor do they care, this is why I trust & pay them. Their speeds aren't capped either. This is not a promo, just a true to life description of who I use & why, you can research your own to use, I'm not pointing or guiding or suggesting anyone go to a particular provider. With mine You can use any ip address they provide whick is like ten in every country in the world (bit of exaduration) but they have 3000+ IPs in 50+ countries.
They even have stealth vpn mode which will allow you to connect, share, play, whatever you want even from oppressed countries like North Korea. Your connection can be seen but is encrypted and sent in a way that looks like normal legit everyday internet packages being sent/received as someone just casually browsing. You can even subscribe to a dedicated ip address in say the US so you can watch Hulu here in CAN. these ips aren't blacklisted I guarantee.
My question is do you think free VPN apps/services are free because the company wants to be kind? I have a sneaky suspicion that they are making money off of your info. I can't tell you for sure what they see or what the collect or track but I believe they track your sights visited, the content you prefer, your connection location, your ISP, & it could go as deep as banking info, screenshots, key logging, anything because all your data runs through them. They are a middle man. just because their a VPN company does not give them credit & honesty. They have to make money somehow & as the "free" VPN provider/middleman they can track, see, record, and sell your private info to anyone or any country or law enforcement and I believe this is how they fund their business, the selling of your info.
My point is Do you trust these so called free VPN apps because I'm seeing more & more popping up than ever and if they are free where are they making the money to stay up & running free. If you use free VPN providers what do you use them for? I figured vpn's were for privacy, security, & anonymity and I can't think of a valid argument for using a free VPN if it's for one of those things I mentioned.
Just trying to spark some Q&A on this topic because it is important to me and many others. I think free providers are keeping a lot in the dark & we as citizens with the right to privacy & freedom of speech need to know the truth about our online activity & the monitoring of it, especially if we are doing nothing wrong, just trying to protect our information that is sensitive to our lives, & the way we live. We have the right to privacy & I feel the free VPN providers are lying by omition, not all but a good many.
Any input or info or questions on this topic would be great. Let's see how many feel safe with free VPN providers & who did their research before picking one and what they found out. Also why they went with the provider they did.
Stay safe, Look for (VPN, ENCRYPTION, PROXY, ZERO LOGGING & READ USER AGREEMENTS FIRST) Please do your research I can't stress this enough.
Much love, Peace freedom & privacy!
nothing is ever free, it's just a fact of life for these companies to make money they have to do something or the cost of running all the servers would bankrupt them.
in general terms if you pay for a VPN with cash that is how they generate their money, obviously it's worth reading what the VPN claims to do and offer, some paid ones still track individual users and keep logs, but the vast majority don't. the same is true of speed, it's a balancing act between software and servers, if a VPN is running servers slower than your connection you are going to end up with a slower speed, the same is true of VPN's with few servers as the more load on the server the slower everyone will go, so it's all just about research.
as for region lock removal that is getting harder and harder it's why most paid VPN's can do it but don't advertise it, because places like netflix now have really good algorithms that can detect if too many people are connecting from a single server and will generally block the IP's so most VPN's using somewhat dynamic IP's can keep the regional locks off it is getting more and more expensive for services to keep so a lot are dropping advertising for it.
as for free VPN's, they have less security, they are public servers, the IP's are generally associated with toxic behaviour so often can be heavily blocked. also most lack true encryption and DNS masking so your ISP can still see exactly what you are doing, not to mention these free sites source their revenue through adverts, redirection and selling your info, including browsing history, they all generally keep logs and the first sign of trouble they will hand them over to whoever asks for them.
basically using a free VPN is like using free public wifi, yes it's there and does a job but ultimately you are going to want protection to stop other people connecting to the network getting your info or sending dodgy stuff.

Just a comment on your comment, you stated that...
the same is true of speed, it's a balancing act between software and servers, if a VPN is running servers slower than your connection you are going to end up with a slower speed, the same is true of VPN's with few servers as the more load on the server the slower everyone will go, so it's all just about research.
My response...
My provider does not cap speeds, that one big reason the free ones are garbage amongst other things. With The company that I use, I can run 150mbps easy & no issues. They have over 3000+ servers and for a cheap fee you can be guaranteed top speeds up & down where grabbing say a DVD or a 30min 4k video clip on a free VPN is damn near impossible.
Also you stated this....
places like netflix now have really good algorithms that can detect if too many people are connecting from a single server and will generally block the IP's
My Response...
That is true & also another reason to go paid is because, at least with my provider, the have many many dedicated IP addresses, so your guaranteed to be on zero ban/blacklists. After they banned they recycle them into the standard vpn's provided with the VPN packs, the dedicated streaming IPs before banned are bit extra coin/addon. I've yet to use one and be turned away from a streaming service where if your using a free VPN, good luck connecting to a region restricted service or even getting enough speed to stream in 1080p.
Random opinion....
Im just sick of seeing more & more free VPN services popping up, treating our privacy like its a joke, shoving ads down our throats & and offering very sub standard services. I've tested my provider well. Everything the promise is true & they are probably tops in true encryption methods & up to date security.
I'll post a few pics of what they offer (logos & details erased so I don't get called out as if I'm spamming or trolling for this, provider).... My regards, I enjoyed what you had to say, you had many valid points. Mine is free vpns have their purposes but their not security, privacy, speed, reliability, and so on. Basically they are just a way to change your ip address. A kids toy in my opinion.

ENCRYPTION:
Can anyone explain to me what the basic differences are between VPN (encrypted) and proxy5 (which I think is encrypted but not sure). They both allow you to hide behind an ip other than yours probably hiding & protecting your ip from danger/hacking/trackers and such, but why chose one over the other? A proxy is probably a public used address and VPN also, unless paying for a dedicated IP address. Which one is better and for what situations? ?
I would never use a free VPN Service, cause you never know for (100%) Sure, where your data is exactly. I use PerfectPtivacy, one of the best but expensive VPN out there. There feauture List is long if you are interested..here it is.
Multi-Hop VPN
Use Multi-Hop VPN to protect yourself from tracking and monitoring. In VPN Manager, you can create a cascade over four hops with the push of a button and thus connect up to four VPN tunnels in a cascade. Your data is end-to-end encrypted four times.
NeuroRouting™
NeuroRouting ensures that your data remains within the strongly encrypted VPN network of Perfect Privacy for as long as possible. A neural network and our algorithms constantly calculate the best routes for your destinations on the Internet. This happens dynamically - depending on the websites you visit.
TrackStop™
TrackStop is a filter that blocks content from untrusted or unwanted sources. Stop annoying advertisements. Defend yourself against social media tracking. Block harmful phishing and malware websites. Protect your children from inappropriate content. Individually adjust the filter settings according to your needs.
Stealth VPN
Stealth VPN is a method to counter against Deep Packet Inspection (DPI). In some restrictive networks and countries, it is used to detect and block VPN traffic. Stealth VPN masks the VPN packets and makes them look like regular HTTPS packets. Since this protocol is also used for secure data transmissions, most firewalls do not block it, and VPN can be used in restricted networks
Kill Switch
The kill switch functionality ensures that you are protected against IP leaks even if the VPN connection is interrupted. The Kill Switch prevents the connection to the Internet until the VPN connection has been reestablished. The automatic emergency disconnection is available in 3 different security levels and can be set conveniently in the VPN Manager according to your needs.
IPv6 Support
Benefit from full IPv6 support. There are more and more services on the Internet that offer their services over IPv6. But not every Internet provider offers IPv6 connectivity. With Perfect Privacy, you are automatically assigned an IPv6 address and can, therefore, use IPv6 at any time and anywhere in the world. Of course, the VPN Manager has protection that also prevents leaks over IPv6.
No Logs
We do not store any of your data. We have created our server infrastructure so that it is not possible to record data at all. The data, therefore, runs on ram disks to ensure that there is nothing left when a server is disconnected from power. If you are worried that a security agency could intercept a server while it is running, use a cascaded connection as mentioned above.
VPN Protocols
Perfect Privacy offers you a wide range of different protocols and services for your desired purposes. OpenVPN and IPsec for extra strong encryption, SSH2 tunnel for individual encryption, HTTP proxies and SOCKS5 proxies if you need extra high speeds, or forwarding a tunnel.

Sounds like a similar service in terms of what they offer, but I must say it sounds as if they offer a bit more if this is just a VPN package.
I usually purchase a VPN+SOCKS5 package. I use the socks5 on my android/Kodi tv boxes & VPN is set up through my router so all of our computers are encrypted. I must admit that I'm not up to date on encryption and I use blowfish as I've hear & read its almost as safe as they come. At my folks place I can bury my speed, cable net but at me & the wife's we are out in the country with 1 option. DSL at 7mb down & 1mb up so I think any company can handle that nitro speed haha.
If you don't mind me asking what do you pay for 1month service and what does it offer, strictly VPN? The service I get does VPN, SOCKS5/HTTPS Proxy, and Anon offshore email accounts. I'm not in need of any encryption on emails but VPN & PROXY are useful. How long have you been using your provider & have they ever gone above and beyond at any time of day/night for you?
Noob question here but is it possible to use VPN & PROXY at the same time? Just curious because some apps like OpenVPN let you add both but I've yet to see proof their bot functioning at same time.
Hope to hear back, I don't care if you mention your provider seeing as I'm basically spoon feeding my providers name. PM me if you want to know more but it sounds like your well looked after.
It's possible that a free VPN service is genuinely private. Companies may offer free limited services in an effort to recruit paying customers for advanced services. But it's hard to know.
If you don't need to conceal your home IP address from the sites you contact, then I suggest running your own VPN server at home (for example, using PiVPN on a Raspberry Pi). That's good for keeping your data and metadata private from public WiFi and from your phone carrier, and for keeping your phone location private from sites you contact.

Yep you are right. They offer in the overall package a bit more. One Big Point is, that you can log in in endless device with one Account. Means you have for example lets say 6 devices. So you can use this Service on all Devices with no restrictions or else. This was the Point for me to test it back few years ago and stay till this day there.
What i pay for 1 Month ? 12,99 Euro for Germany and it offers in my opinion one of the best Privacy tool out there with all feautures in it from my First Posting. And the Option to use cascading over 4 Countrys is simple amazing. With 256Bit aesc encryption you go Safe in internet. But Overall you get the same package as u from your vpn Provider. Just with a few extra things. But if you hardley need them is your opinion.
You mean with my Provider my Internetprovider ? Thats Unitymedia fornaly known as KabelBW with 400 Mbit Down & 10 Mbit Uploadspeed. Nothing special but useful for large Filesharing etc. I also have full speed day and night, with and without vpn. It slows nothing Down cause most of their vpn Servers like Amsterdam has 5000MBit..so you can surf and load in internet like without vpn. This is the second Big point for me, cause most vpn Provider are slow in speed in my opinion.
Yes you can use VPN & Proxy in combination but would recommend to use vpn only. Another time..its in your usagecase if a Proxy gives you more security or not. Not in Every case a Proxy is good to go..
I hope i answer your questions right cause my english is not the best overall. If something is unclear or you want fourther Information pm me or Post in here. I would say you a few tips about encryption & stuff but im not Sure if you already know the things around encryption.
My personal opinion is don't use a free VPN service. I personally use Express VPN for the last 3 years or so and love it. Use it on my laptop, home computer, and phone.

Free VPNs will only get you doomed. If free VPNs were to rely on nobody would have been paying for paying subscriptions. The free ones are by no means to be relied upon when it comes to security and anonymity. Also, you would never find anything about their log policy. These providers can be the ones assisting law enforcement agenices to you. I know people who received DMCA notices for downloading copyright content using free vpns. So please restrain from using free vpns and educate others too. No money is too big when it comes to your privacy and security.
