OpenVPN?

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.
(and sorry for my english )

OpenVPN
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

[Q] OpenVPN @ 2.3.5 - reboots phone

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

Openvpn on note?

Does anybody use openvpn with abyss kernel (3.6 in this case)? I have never used openvpn for Android and when I activate it, it gives me the error message below:
"Failed to load tun module. Device node /dev/tun/ or dev/net/tun did not show up."
I have the certs and Conf files in the openvpn folder, busybox installed, and according to the openvpn installer, openvpn is installed. I'm using abyss 3.6.
Can anybody tell me what I'm doing incorrectly or what I have failed to do?

faced similar kind of problem when using abyss... restarting the phone helped it somehow and started working again... but my stock rom worked without any problem... download tun.ko app from market and try to install your tun module again... ticking insmod option in advanced settings also might help....

My config for Abyss 3.7
In openVPN Settings -> Advanced:
- 'Load tun kernel' module activated
- 'TUN module settigns' -> 'Load module using' set to insmod
- 'TUN module settigns' -> 'Path to run module' set to /lib/modules/tun.ko
Hope it helps

Thanks for the ideas. For some strange reason it still won't work. I'm using abyss 3.7 as well and everything is installed and in the proper places.
> I just tried getting openvpn to work on a couple other roms, but same issue. FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU

old problem, I also tried to fix it but never found a solution. Also would like to have it working.
On older rocketrom versions I was able to connect to my openvpn server (or at least it seemed that way as openvpn showed me as connected and with no errors) but when I tested the connection my IP was still my own and not the one from the vpn server I was supposedly connected to, so I dun think it was really working

A quick summary about my openVPN installation
This is how I installed openVPN on Rocket ROM 22 with Abyss 3.7 (log enabled version, I don't know if it matters).
Maybe something it's different from what you did, or you see anything that can help you to solve your problem.
Download from market (sorry, I can't post links) openVPN Installer and openVPN Settings (Friedrich Schäuffelhut versions). I didn't download any other additional app, library....
Install openVPN with openVPN Installer. During installation set
- target directory to /system/xbin
- ifconfig route to /system/xbin/busybox ifconfig (recommended)
In openVPN Settings:
- 'Load tun kernel' module activated
- 'Path to openVPN binary' set to /system/xbin/openvpn (this was the default setting)
In openVPN Settings -> Advanced:
- 'TUN module settigns' -> 'Load module using' set to insmod
- 'TUN module settigns' -> 'Path to run module' set to /lib/modules/tun.ko
Copy ovpn config files, certificates, etc to your route and ready. With this setup openVPN is working ok for me.
I just had some minor "issues", but I think they're related to mi ovpn config not with the tun module.
1. I had to change some data in ovpn config files, but it's due they were ubuntu ready...
2. I need to apply the 'Fix DNS' option in openVPN Settings. If not applied browser can't solve urls.
Finally.. I have tested openVPN only over 3G connection. This setup is working too on Criskelo ROM.

First, thanks for the thorough explanation. I just flashed chrack v13 and tried both FM 2.0 and abyss 3.7 with success

waaaaa I finally got openvpn to work xD
I got the tun.ko installer from the market, it downloaded the correct module onto /months/sdcard/tun.ko then I used that path in the advanced settings of openvpn and voilá xD it's working! xD

[Solved][Zeus v6.36+patch v2] : openvpn not complete ?

Hello
I'm testing this nice rom since 3 days.
After an update from googleplay, openvpnsetting now opens a prerequisite screen and check my device for root, busybox tun.ko and openvpn binary.
It's all ok , just TUN device driver isn't installed . Is this device mandatory for using openvpn ?
[edit] Okay, after searching a bit on openvpn, it seems that tun is not mandatory. Explanations here
Most of openvpn settings use TAP device, so missing TUN should not be a problem...

It just need to copy tun.ko from /etc/modules to /system/lib/modules... It will be done for next release, but anyway you can do it by yourself via root browser.

Thanks a lot.

[GUIDE] [NOOB] NetHunter for 3(T)

Hey Guys I've been trying to find a suitable thread for installing Kali Linux Nethunter thread but everyone is saying to install a Custom kernel and with some stuff to play with the " Boot.img " which can hardbrick your device if not done correctly.
So i found a workaround which would work with almost all Roms & Custom kernels without tampering any system files or flashing any extras
Before starting Please Make sure you have all the files stored at one place and go as the thread says. Don't skip a Step.
BASICS :
1 : Root is required for eveything.
2 : Basic knowledge of Copy pasting stuff
3 : Get to know what is Kali Linux Nethunter
The files you'll need to download
[ LInks are at the End ]
1 : The Chroot Package
( there are 2 types of packages " Minimal " & " Full" ) :- I recommend to download the full One.
2 : The Main apps which you'll need to hack.
3 : Busybox
[Steps]
1 : Please ensure you have enough space in Root directory not in Internal Storage. { 400mb approx }
2 : Install all the Apks from the zip
3 : Open the Net hunter app and just close it. Now navigate to root/data/data/com.offsec.nethunter/files/scripts and copy all the contents from scripts to root/system/bin
4 : Run the Nethunter app again and then navigate to Kali Chroot Manager. Now you have option to install " Minimal " & " Full " Chroot package. I recommend to install the full one. [ If the terminal shows any fetching error or downloading error just download the Chroot Package manually and paste it in the Root directory of your Internal Storage. ] and run the app again and choose SD card option. :- The Chroot extraction process would take 10mins in total.
5 : Open the NetHunter Terminal App and select " KALI ". Now it'll be in the stock window showing " 127Oneplus " or something just type " exit " and Voila You'll be running the Kali linux Nethunter on your device.

The Main apps Package https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4-3E4hnJnMaaWExaElNekd3UTA/view?usp=drivesdk

See if the name or the tar file is the same. The App is case sensitive

Thanks that solve the problem.....
Now nethunter terminal closes after selecting Kali..and yes I have given root access as well reinstalled busybox

First of all thanks the post!
I think a lot of people would find it helpful because there are not many guides on NetHunter for op3(t) out there.
Also it would be helpful if you shared the ROM(s) you had success with installing NetHunter.
Thanks!
