[Module] tun.ko for stock 2.6.32.9 (for openvpn/vpnc/etc)

Compiled from the recent kernel source dump. Loaded just fine into the stock kernel, /dev/tun device created. I haven't had a chance yet to test out openvpn, but will later today.
Also, now that there's a tun/tap driver for the base android system, it should work within the webtop environment as well.
Enjoy.
EDIT: Tested with OpenVPN from the Market (Installer and Settings apps) and works fine.

I will be watching closely. I need vpn badly!

Where does the file go?

I put it in /system/lib/modules, but it can go pretty much anywhere if you're using it with the openvpn settings app, since you can specify the path that insmod uses.

I put it in /system/lib and it works fine with VPNC Widget. Thanks!

What exactly does this do? I hate to sound like a noob

It gives us the virtual tunneling network interface so we can use openvpn.

I owe you a beer sir. With the past week to other good people in xda forums, I owe three beers in total.

Oh crap, I need root for OVPN and I upgraded to beta release. Oh well, time to SBF to stock.

Great find my friend !!! will this module work only on the android side or can it be worked in with the webtop side too ?

Instead of using the android openvpn binary, you could use one compiled for linux arm within the webtop and it should work just fine.

1. lsmod shows tun.ko
2. VPNC set to enable VPN
3. Unable to ping any resources on the remote network. VPN says never connected.
Any thoughts on where to go from here?
This is a Cisco VPN I am connecting to.

Run a logcat either from adb shell or through ConnectBot/Terminal Emulator on phone and see what vpnc is doing during connection.

Tested and verified this works perfect with my Atrix connecting to an ASA 5500 Cisco appliance using IpSec. I made a video that will help people trying to understand all this. Just go to youtube and type android vpn. I'll be one of the first 5 videos and it's a 2 parter.
Thanks OP! I was looking for this back when I got my ATRIX and had no luck.

That's my exact scenario and mine also works flawlessly.

I'm getting a connection, but no traffic is flowing through it. My laptop can connect though. Nothing returns a ping on the other end.

Kernel
Does any one have the module for kernel 2.6.32.9-00005?

Try out the attached. The vermagic should match your OTA kernel exactly.
EDIT: Attachment removed (not working)

Getting -1 Unknown symbol in module

Can you post the last 20 lines of dmesg after trying the insmod?

[Q] Getting OpenVPN to Work

I currently pay for a VPN service called Hide My Ass and it works nicely on my computer. I can use it on my Bionic but I would like to use OpenVPN. I installed from the Market the two OpenVPN Settings and Installer and copied the config files to the SD card. I found it here http://hidemyass.com/vpn-config/ Now for some reason when I try to log in to the VPN it won't connect. If anyone has any input on how to make this work I would appreciate it.
Thanks.

You need a tun.ko kernel module, and based on the word kernel and the locked bootloader I don't even know if that module would even help in any way.

I think this kernel has tun built in... I use vpnc all the time and it needs one too.

OpenVPN will not work with OpenVPN and OpenVPN settings because there is no tun.ko kernel module. Tried this myself and nope, it's not going to work. There might be a way if there is a talented dev out there. I know that the boot has to be signed but I don't know about kernel modules. Beyond the module itself will the kernel even allow you to start a module anyway?

[Q] openvpn in sumsung Tab

Good Day ,
I have sumsung Tab , OS:android . I would like to use VPN client I will be thankful if you can help me , because I installed openvpn and busybox but i do'nt realy what procedure to follow to configure the VPN , can you advice me ?
many Thanks

What ROM are you using? Depending on the ROM, you may already have the option to install the VPN settings from the main settings menu. (Menu > Settings > Location & Security > Install from SD card). Once your ca is installed, setup the VPN under wireless and networks.

Specifically for openvpn'
Download two apps. Openvpn installer and openvpn setting.
Install them both.
Run the openvpn installer and accept all defaults.
Run openvpn settings and choose your certs folder.
To launch (connect) you just need to run openvpn settings and tick the connection you want to open.
I have been using it on overcome from and aokp ice.
Good luck.

Hi Priyana, what's the 'verts folder'? I was told to creat a openvpn folder under the SD root, then what the file/files should I copy to that folder?
Thanks,
Tony

The cert folder is just a folder where you need to have your config file and your vpn keys/certs
Speak to your network admin. You can't just have a vpn without a server. So the server owner need to give you the necessary certs to access.

Ok.... I dont have that kind of service. What I need is to set up the VPN so I can access with Facebook or Twitter and so on...sometimes even for Gmail..... There are 4 countries in the world cant use them I am luckly living in one of those So, I applied an account and password from www.daili99.net, according one webpage, but last step it says 'copy all the configration and certification to this created folder' I cant figure it out....
So would you give me any suggestion to do? PPTP? tried but didnt work very well...
---------- Post added at 05:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:39 PM ----------
Tried PPTP and L2TP, both of them would not work. Says 'Server hung up. User name or password incorrect. Try again?'
---------- Post added at 06:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 PM ----------
Basicly this is what I have:
Server: 209.141.63.60
DNS: 8.8.8.8
and my account, my password
Those are the information I was given to set up PPTP or L2TP but both of them wont work.

Ok I have set up my VPN, www.vcupone.com
I downloaded openvpn-ca.cer and clein-free.ovpn
I have copied both of them to SDCARD/openvpn,
Now when I turn on the openvpn, (check the box), then it could find Client-free.ovpn, it becomes 'resolve' but only in 1 second, then becomes 'wait' ....
wait for ever....
Could you please let me know what's wrong with that?

[Nook HD+] VPN setup issues

Hi there,
I'm a student and need to use VPN on my Nook HD+ to get access to the exclusive resources of the university like electronic library, etc. The university VPN service uses IPSec, IPSEC TCP/UDP with Xauth method, and it has a group name and group secret. I've searched the playstore and the only two clients which support this feature are VPNC widget and openVPN, but they both have issues I cannot solve. VPNC widget could not start properly and reports error saying that my TUN is not installed properly, so I downloaded tun.ko installer to install the tun according to my android OS and kernel versions, but the installer says the file downloaded is not compatible. The openVPN requires CA certificate for the IPSEC TCP/UDP feature, which I don't know how to set up (sorry for the novice I've been). Could anyone who knows how to resolve the VPN issue please share some insights, thank you very much!

First, are you rooted? Have you enabled 'unknown sources?" Running CM or stock?
Second, there was a discussion of VPN elsewhere, try searching, it may help.

The reason VPN doesn't work, with the exception of PPTP, is because it doesn't have tunnel module. That mean the tun.ko need to be compile for the Nook HD+ and put it on the device(symbolic link to the right directory). The module may still need to be manually loaded every boot, idk.

Thanks mate, really appreciate your help.
I'm running CM10 build 121230, so I guess it's rooted. I'll try to find that thread, thanks.

Thanks for your reply.
the database of DroidVPN has a tun.ko file for 4.1.2 and kernel 3.0.31,just as mine, but it's for Nook HD, not HD+. Is it tedious to compile a tun file? do you think I can do it myself?

[Req] tun.ko for stock kernel?

I'm looking for a tun.ko module for the stock kernel, so I can use DroidVPN. Does anyone know where I can find this module? Or can one of the devs around here compile one for us?

Using OpenVPN Settings and it doesn't requires additional tun.ko. Is says "TUN device is at /dev/tun" and works fine! Just need to install OpenVPN binary using OpenVPN Installer.
Maybe you should just make some configurations?

Ah, apparently it's baked into the kernel, so we don't need a module.
