Hi,
I have set up my X1 to be able to connect to my company's VPN to retrieve my emails and stuff.
However, once connected, I will be be able to surf the internet anymore. Is there a setting which we can do like disabling 'Use Default Gateway on Remote Network' like our PCs?
Cheers!

It's not a bug, and it's not related to the mobile phone either. VPN access on any OS always disable the internet access. That's we call security
I faced this before,
i went to the network administrator and explained to him, and he fixed it!
not from my X1, it was a network configuration.
actually there are 2 ways to get the internet.
1st is through the VPN it self (you will use your company internet connection) your connection will be
X1 -> VPN -> Company -> internet Request -> Company -> VPN -> X1
2nd is through special config in their VPN routing things (i don't know what it's called really) so simply when you request the emails, the connection will be routed to VPN, otherwise it will be through your regular GPRS/EDGE/3G/HSDPA/WiFi
the 2nd option is the best (but i think it requires a newer hardware as it's a relativly new technolog) because it will not waste the company's internet bandwidth.
check with your network administrator, they can help
By the way, the BlueFire VPN client can optionnally allow internet access from your mobile directly to the internet
Thanks for the reply guys. I will tryyour suggestions!
Cheers!
I think its called split tunnel when internet traffic goes direct and intranet goes down vpn tunnel.
I had same problem with my laptop and xp, our company changed the policy and everything has to go through tunnel (split tunnel disabled). With an earlier version of the Cisco vpn client I could mess with the routing table to revert to split tunnel - You may be able to do this on the X1, change the routes somehow?

Yes that's what i was talking about, Split Tunneling must be enabled
thanks scote for getting the right name
Yeah, Split Tunneling roxx
Can anybody help me configuring a Cisco ASA5505 to be able to get connected with my X1 over VPN? The PC-Clients are working, but it seems to be the same issue like they cant connect trough Windows builtin VPN client, only by using the one from Cisco (which is much better).
But i don't like to loose Security by setting lower policy settings for connecting without Cisco software.
Does anybody knows about the Cisco client for Windws Mobile? When i visited "Systems"-fair last year in Munich a Cisco employee told me they are working on it.
Could you maybe ask your administrator again and let us know how he did your option #2?
Anyone else know how to do split tunneling in Windows Mobile?

How did you do that? You using a default ROM and which setting you setup yr VPN from?
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.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using Tapatalk
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
Hi All,
I am having issues when trying to connect to my work VPN. I need VPN access in order to check my work email and browse an internal website.
Now, the VPN always connects, either on 3G (in UK) and wifi.
However, even if it says "connected", I am not able to download emails orbrowse the intranet unless when connected to my home wifi and sometimes on mobile internet.
If connected through other wifi networks (recently tried on a hotel free wifi, in the states and on a private home network, in Croatia), the connection itself seems to go through some sort of bottleneck, and no emails or browsing is then available.
I am blaming the phone itself, since my colleague had no problems whatsoever on his iPhone.
I am on Galaxy Note, non rooted, Vodafone UK.
Please help, this issue is making my Galaxy Note almost useless.

just FYI I'm also on UK Vodafone and I can connect fine with openVPN to my home network ... tested on 2G,3G/H+ and also on various public & private WiFi networks - always connects fine, only issue I have is that my server .ovpn tells the phone to use my home router as it's default gateway (so that I can browse securely on public wifi). This doesn't work out of the box - I need to use the openVPN app's "fix DNS" option.

errr ... I'm an android noob, but AFAIK you need root for openVPN to work? I never tried running openVPN on my note BEFORE I rooted it, but anything I've ever read says root is required?

What APN do you use?
I have to switch everytime to something called MyLan to connect over 3G.
I am using the stock VPN client, did not adventure myself into OpenVPN. Would that work with an encrypted VPN?
Ah, sorry - I somehow managed to read the thread title "[Q] VPN issues" as "OpenVPN issues" .. case of my eyes seeing what they wanted to rather than than what was actually there. You are of course right, the stock VPN options don't need root (and of course openVPN client will only work to talk to an openVPN server).
I did set up a PPTP server on my WinXP home machine and tested that with the note's inbuilt PPTP VPN client - it worked OK although I needed to turn off encryption, and I didn't do anything with it beyond just connecting as I was only dong it out of interest.
re. the APN - I don't actually know where to see that on the note (noob, as I said!) - when I do settings->wireless & network-> mobile networks, which claims to allow setting APN's, there is no info or settings re. the APN other than the "network mode" and "network operators" items, neither of which seem to show the APN used for vodafone data access.
Anyway, sorry for the bum steer, hope you get it sorted

Oh, never mind
Under mobile networks you have to go under Access Point Names, but most likely you will only have one APN, which is the regular from Vodafone.
So most likely is the encryption causing problems?
D'oh ... I thought that was a heading, didn't realise it was a clickable item! my APN is wap.vodafone.co.uk (APN type is "internet+mms").
IDK if encryption is anything to do with your issues ... I doubt it if you can consistantly connect from home wifi and sometimes from 3G - if encryption were the problem I'd imagine it would consistantly connect (or not) rather than be variable.
Maybe worth trying to ping your internal mail/intranet servers when connected and then talking to your work IT guys in case there are firewall/routing settings that you are somehow falling foul of?
Yes we are doing that, however that fact that iPhones can connect really makes me wonder!
Thread Moved To Q&A
This is a question, and as such belongs in the Q&A Section
there are lots of third party vpn tools and free available you can use those
Wilsonj,
Can you please suggest one third party vpn tools that works well on PPTP, with encryption?
I am not looking at OpenVPN, since it doesn't suit my needs.
Thanks!
So I'm in the army right now, which means there's a TV but no WiFi available.
I did think of just setting up a Hotspot with another phone but it gets pretty annoying having to have 2 people at all time.
So I went digging in the Internet and found someone at a random forum (can't find it now for credit..), that said that If you set up the Hotspot in your own phone and configure it with another one you don't need the other one around anymore - being the Hotspot works as being connected to it.
Now I'm pretty sure there shouldn't be any reason I couldn't set it up on my own phone (the hotspot), except the Google home app just demands I connect to the WiFi network, which I can't do because you can't connect to yourself sadly.
I think if someone made some changes to the Google home app, or made an alternative set up app it could work. I have no idea how to code an app, so I came here ?
tl:dr I Want an app that does the same as the home app for setting chromecast up, but without checking if I'm connected to a WiFi network. (I think)
I'm guessing that you have no WiFi but you do have a hard line internet connection?
The only issue with what I'm going to suggest is that base rules may prohibit creating a WiFi access point on any of their hardline connections.
But the best solution for you is to buy a Portable Router (see posts here about using CCast in a Hotel).
It's a small box about the size of a DC transformer that plugs into the outlet and also any Network to create a small footprint WiFi access point.
I suggest looking for a model that also has Repeater mode that allows it to connect to another WiFi access point to create your own private network as opposed to a hard line.
It is probably the best way to use a CCast in places where WiFi is not available without having to play with Phone Hotspot which doesn't always work due to the fact the hotspot can't control the CCast in that mode.
The other Option that is most likely to be allowed is to add a WiFi puck to your Mobile account. Then there would be no potential compromising of the Military network (which is why they might not allow the Portable Router to be used) and you would no longer need two phones to run the CCast.
CCast definitely needs Internet so that Puck might be the safest and best way forward for you.
As for what you read...The issue is that if the Phone goes out of range it stops working.

Actually, no Internet at all, just mobile data, but since I got 15 gigs it's OK for me to use it.

To be honest, it is a good idea but my I was mainly wondering if I could solve it via software which is both easier obviously and also I just wanted to know if it's actually possible since I thought of it and I wanna know if I got it right

Not really...All the hacks and such that people try simply don't work well due to the fact that the Phone can't really connect to the same subnet as the Hotspot. When you go into Hotspot mode you can't also connect to that hotspot internally because WiFi is no longer available to the phone.

That's why i suggested tempering with the app so it treats being a Hotspot as if u were with WiFi on connected to one.
Basically take off the check for being connected to WiFi.

The issue isn't the app...It's the fact that the WiFi in your phone can only do one thing at a time....BE an Access Point or CONNECT to an access point.
It can't connect to itself as the radio can't do both things at once.
So when you go into hotspot there is no way to get on the same subnet as the hotspot with the phone.
Because there is no network adapter available to connect to it. It is too busy being an access point.
Basically going into hotspot turns the Phone into a router. A router the phone has no way to connect to. So you either need another device to connect to that phone router or find some other router with internet.
Which is what the Cellular Puck will give you.

Like I said, once the setup is done, being the Hotspot is just like being connected to is. The app still doesn't recognize you're connected but if you're on the web the chromecast icon does pop up when needed, all the third party apps do recognize you as being connected.
All you managed to do with Google Home (which can't be edited by anyone but Google)on the second phone is connect your CCast to the Phone Hotspot for it's Internet. There is no way to avoid that setup....HOWEVER...
As long as you don't set it up to connect to some other Hotspot there is no need to run Home again, Just turn on Hotspot and it should reconnect.
It will even remember the password,

Yea I know, but sometimes friends take it or something and it's a pain in the ass to explain everything, and even when I do it means I gotta reconnect at my end again which is annoying just thought someone could maybe find a solution that sounded really simple for me, guess not, too bad..
Thanks anyway!
Well trying to recode Home is a dead end....Android wouldn't even let you install it!
You guys should just chip in and buy the puck.
It will even let you use Tablets and Laptops as well as simplify the CCast use.
I know this is an older post; not sure if you are still interested. I read all the replies and not sure what to make of it as far as if anyone had a working solution or not. No disrespect to anyone, but I couldn't tell for sure so I'm posting a link to my solution which does work. The two important steps are included. One is using " other wifi" in the drop down list when searching for your hotspot. The second is enabling GUEST MODE.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/how-to-cast-screen-android-phone-to-t4032653
I’m trying something similar with a Chromecast 3rd gen and iPhone 5S (iOS 12). Main issue seems to be guest mode doesn’t work at all on any apps, and pretty much every solution i’ve seen to this results in guest mode being used for the eventual casting. If you have android or iOS 13 then ymmv.
The only solution i’ve found are workarounds, the obvious being
1) don’t buy a chromecast (it’s not much of a solution but hey it’s $30).
2) use a secondary device to cast.
3) use a tethered travel router, and this can be done with only a phone and mobile data for internet, but there’s a catch:
First i’d Recommend any router by GLi.net (cheapest “mango” router is about $20) as they support iOS and android and both WiFi and usb tethering.
Also, i’ve Tried using a WiFi hotspot on the phone, and it’s the same issue - no connection to the chromecast regardless of how. However... iPhones will allow you to create a hotspot using *only* cables usb tethering, so if you set the router up to *only* accept internet via cables tether (turn off WiFi/repeater tethering), then you can have both the chromecast and iPhone connect to the routers WiFi, whilst providing net access to the router (and WiFi network) from the same iphone’s mobile data via usb. Simple howoto:
Important: Turn OFF WiFi on the phone, and turn off hotspot.
Connect phone to router via usb, accept trust settings.
Turn on personal hotspot, you’ll get a message asking whether to use WiFi or just usb (andbluetooth if it’s also turned on). Select just usb/Bluetooth.
Wait until blue connection bar shows on phone (if not, make sure routers setup properly to gain net via usb tethering).
Now, turn on WiFi on the phone, and connect to routers WiFi.
Setup chromecast as normal, selecting to connect to routers WiFi too.
Note turning hotspot off and on again whilst WiFi is running will start a hotspot on WiFi and disconnect you from router WiFi, so you’ll always have to go through process of turning WiFi off, turn hotspot on, turn WiFi on.
So you can do this with the right router and a usb connection to phone. Or maybe android and working guest mode. Otheriwse, ...fire tv anyone?
Got my P20 Pro yesterday and mostly seems really good but I'm having some network issues that I'm hoping someone can enlighten me on.
Connects to WiFi no problem, internet is all ok but apps that connect to devices on my local network aren't seeing the devices. Harmony is one of them - it scans my network but doesn't find either of my Logitech harmony hubs - if I add them via their up manually then it connects but then thinks they are on an external network so connects through the cloud.
My DS apps are also not able to find my Synology server when scanning - I can input the IP address and it will connect but the server never shows when scanning the network for devices.
Is it going to be that the apps are the problem and they don't work properly with the P20 Pro - I struggle to think that's the problem, it seems like a network discovery issue on the phone, some protocol thats disabled or some onboard firewall that's hidden that it blocking local traffic on certain ports?
Anyone with any ideas would be great as I'm at a loss right now and thinking the phone will have to go back if it can't do these basic things...

Allow location for those apps, it's a Oreo thing
Same problem
Hi, I also have this problem with my p20 pro where a lot of internal services are not reachable when I'm on wifi... For example my synology diskstation, my smart home system Loxone, my Logitech Squeezebox Server and so on... And not only from the apps, also not in the browser... This is very strange and I'm not sure why this is not working...
In Oreo no app whatsoever can scan wifi if not allowed location services.
Hi,
I'm still having these issues...when I do a traceroute for a local IP it just won't get a route / no hops. But....my DSL line dropped out this week and I had to physically disconnect my FritzBox from the DSL line and all of a sudden all the different apps facilitating local things worked like a charme....back online again it stops working again.
I'm in IT for over 15 years and I haven't found a solution for this yet...this is really bugging me!
Anyone else has similar issues or found a solution in the meantime?
Could you solve this problem?
