Title says it all.
All of the 2.2 roms and kernels I have tried will connect to the VPN but must screw up the routes as they shut off my data.
Does anyone have this running?
the only issue i have with "VPN Connections" is that is doesn't pass DNS traffic correctly. hence, i must connect via IP Addy not DNS name. other than that it works fine for me. i'm able to establish a vpn connection then use the WYSE rdc/vnc app to connect to my windows or linux servers ... connnectbot for shell access.
I've also been unable to connect to either a PPTP or IPSec VPN over my 3G connection since upgrading to the official release of 2.2 on my EVO 4G. The connection appears to be established just fine, and the VPN server shows that my VPN client is connected, but I cannot ping to or from the device, nor access any internal resources from it. This is a serious bummer considering that things worked fine under 2.1. Will test over WiFi when I get home. Can't test it at work since we're behind a proxy (which is another gripe I have with Android right now... seriously Google, no proxy configuration options?).
i feel i should clarify the name the application i'm using to establish a vpn tunnel is not the stock android vpn application.
it is called "VPN Connection" http://www.appbrain.com/app/org.codeandroid.vpnc_frontend

I have some interesting info regarding VPN behavior. With 2.1, of course, it did not work. Here's what I experienced: I rooted my 2.1 with Unrevoked (not a full root) and then I installed OMJ's (8/6?) Froyo and lo and behold, my encrypted PPTP VPN to a MS 2003 server was working perfectly. I assumed that 2.2 resolved the vpn issues. Since I thought 2.2 was a fix, I didn't hesitate to install another ROM. This time, though, I also did a NAND root and installed another 2.2 rom; whose, I don't remember. My VPN was gone. What I discovered was that I COULD connect to an unencrypted MS PPTP server, but still not my encrypted VPN server at work. So, here we are today. I'm running Vael-Pak non-sense rom and after I loaded it I had no vpn, but here's the thing...a couple of days ago I was poking around inside some of the Evo's networking files, I didn't change anything, I just opened them and looked at them with Text Editor, and since then my encrypted PPTP VPN has been working great. I'm very hesitant to reboot my phone because I fear that it won't work anymore. Right now I'm happy.
I'm trying in vain to get VPN connections working too. The only ROM that I had it working with no problems was Cyanogenmod's. All the others don't seem to have it supported in the kernel. Now I'm running a ROM based on the stock 2.2 but haven't found a fix yet.
I'm in the same boat - my pptp vpn worked fine in stock 2.1, but not in stock 2.2...

I can't get a pptp (haven't tried l2tp) to connect from my unrooted 2.2 evo with encryption enabled. I'm trying to connect to my server at home running winxp pro with the default winxp vpn server setup.
Works fine if you disable encryption. But what's the point if it's not encrypted, right? It works fine with encryption using a laptop or my old iphone3G. Seems to be a bug with android.
I'd like to know if someone finds a workaround.
This worked in 2.1 - froyo broke it

I am in the same boat. On CM6 VPN works flawlessly, but it is missing a lot, and kept crashing on me.
On every other ROM and kernel with tun.ko, it says it is connected but no connectivity.
AVA V6 is fast, good battery life, everything works (including hulu, and blockbuster) and very stable, but the only single thing I can't get working is Cisco VPN!!

I am curious, does anyone have VPN working on any Froyo ROM besides Cyanogen?
If so what Rom/kernel are you using?
Interesting observation last night - 4g was temporarily working in sf, and my pptp vpn worked over it. I turned off 4g and retested, pptp vpn didn't work over 3g...

Anybody get the VPN connection working on the rooted 2.2 yet? I am trying to get it working for cisco vpn at work.

Thats what I have installed but it crashs as soon as I click connect. I am using the new 2.2 root method
what ROM are you using?
any other apps crash or act odd on you?
any other weirdness?
i've never had the vpn app FC on me. i just tested it again with the WYSE RDC app. the only issue i have is that it doesn't play nicely with DNS, thus i have to connect to everything via IP.
Hello all
I previous was able to connect to my works Cisco VPN using VPN Connections However I just upgraded to EC05 (via a method that preserved /DATA) and I cannot get it to work correctly.
Ironically after updating tun.ko I get the message that I am "connected" but none of the traffic seems to be routed via the VPN- its as if I'm surfing the web without the VPN running- in other words I can surf but can't get to any protected areas.
Any ideas?
I'm hoping to avoid a hard reset/fresh install of EC05 but maybe I have to do one to troubleshoot?
EDIT: For whatever reason VPNC Widget seems to work (except after disconnecting I have to reboot to get the internet to work correctly-seems to be a known problem with this app- it does not rewrite DNS upon disconnect) so I guess I will stick with that in the meantime
I love fixing my own problems!!! I would thank myself if that was possible!
Turns out I was using an old version of busybox- once I updated it I was able to use VPN connections again with proper routing!
I'm having a rough time getting my CM9 Epic to connect to my home vpn. Using Windows 7 x64, I've verified that the inbound connection works with other users on other builds of android including a HP touchpad on CM9 so I don't think it's a CM9 issue. Has anybody been able to get this working? I would hate to leave ICS for one silly issue
Update: Seems to be a known issue

Did you ever get this working? Does anyone have any input on this? I am also trying to set up VPN, and am running AOKP Milestone-6, and cannot get VPN to work. Unlike kitsunpaws though, I cannot get ANYthing to connect. could quite possibly be a bad setup on my router, but I want to find out if I have any chance of this working even if I do get the router correct.
Not PTPP but I use OpenVPN with CM9. It was supported out of the box, no additional kernel modules required. Just installed OpenVPN settings and loaded my configuration files. Works great with a dd-wrt router.

I used openvpn and pptp in cm7/miui. also in the early cm10 builds, haven't checked recently. who's your vpn provider have you tried to contact them about the issue? I needed a set of special directions from mine before the pptp worked for me.
I've tried Private Internet Access, Hotspot Shield, and Tunnel Bear. All three can't seem to connect at all and will just keep trying. I first re-installed PIA with data from my S4, but then I just removed it and re-installed it form the Play store. None of can't seem to connect. Maybe it's a Knox thing, but I haven't activated that. I'm still on stock, so a bit confused why it isn't working. My last guess is that it's not update for Android 4.3, but wanted to see if others are experiencing the same issue.
OpenVPN Connect works fine. I haven't tried any others.
I'm rooted and such as well, but I don't think that one needs root.
Interesting, I can't use OpenVPN either.
switch apn to ipv4
Hello everyone,
as noted in the title of this thread, I cannot connect to L2TP/IPSec VPN Server from my phone (Redmi Note 8 Pro, running MIUI 11.0.3 stock).
I've done extensive troubleshooting and appears that phone never even contacts the server. When i configure everything and toggle the VPN, it will try to connect but never does, and then times out.
I'm watching the logs on the server, nothing appears.
I'm watching tcpdump on the server, no packet is even received from phone.
I've connected to WiFi network from i which i know i can connect to VPN (for example from PC or my MikroTik router) and it cannot even connect from that network.
I've enabled packet sniffer on root MikroTik router to sniff the packets, filtering MAC address of my phone, and guess what... When i click on VPN, it doesn't even try to connect to VPN serever. VPN server IP address doesn't even appear on sniff.
I'm wondering why is this happening, is anyone else having issues with L2TP/IPSec VPN? How do i inform Xiaomi of this issue since I've placed couple of feedbacks back in the day, never received an answer and those issues still persists so i don't even thing they are reading the feedback that is sent to them from phone app.
Hoping to get to the bottom of this!
Any help would be greatly appreciated !
Any chance you can try the OpenVPN app? I used to have an issue with my old phone where sometimes it would say connected but it wouldn't be. With the rn8pro, OpenVPN works every time.
Edit: try posting on the Mi forums for a better chance of a response from someone at Xiaomi

Might not just be Xiaomi....https://github.com/SoftEtherVPN/SoftEtherVPN/issues/571
I would hate having two VPN servers installed at the same time. There are times when i want to connect my root mikrotik router to VPN server i question to forward all web traffic via VPN, unfortunately, OpenVPN support is very limited on MikroTik , there are new cipher suites missing and with new OpenVPN servers in place it's impossible to connect tik to OpenVPN.
I know however that OpenVPN app works great with android, but it's weird that native L2TP doesn't seem to be working at all.
I could fall back to PPTP maybe. Both Android and MikroTik works flawlessly with PPTP. But... It's PPTP..
Thanks, i will try posting to Xiaomi forums as well.
