[Q] VPN app for SGS??

Hi guys,
I am based in Dubai and due to career restrictions, we are not able to use VOIP and surf freely, is there any VPN app for Android (Anchorfree, hotspot shield is not yet available for Android sofar) SGS?

what about built in vpn ???

Thanks for reply, wt I wanted to say is that for iphone there are settings which we can put into in_built vpn to work, I am looking for these settings of hotspot shield, can please anyone help?

the built in vpn is pretty straight forward.. there are really no settings for the vpn in dd-wrt just use pptp vpn and username and pwd is all you need.. not sure for other vpns.

i use witopia vpn and pptp on my macbook and sgs, you only put ur pptp information (same as iphone)
dono if anchorfree settings will work for you because i tried it on iphone before and it was awful plus they sell your data so don't access any sensitive information using their pptp.
ps: witopia pptp is a paid service (will cost you around 40$ a year, fully supported and safe).

[Q]VPN to Cisco network

Hey everyone. Was curious if anyone has tried a VPN application on the Nexus. Not sure if stock kernel would even support it. I currently use VPN Connections on my Droid Incredible CM7, as it was only easy vpn app I found to connect to my cisco vpn network at work.

Yeah you need custom kernel and root.

No root or custom kernel with Columbitech! All stock client with Android 4.0! Two factor authentication, 256 bit AES encryption, FIPS 140-2 certification and session persistence!

Wait, I thought ICS added Cisco VPN support. Why bother with rooting or Columbitech?

Cisco VPN now works, at least against the ASA5505 I'm testing against. It accepts Group Names under IPSec/L2TP/PSK. Key in your group name and password, and it should work. Have not messed with certificates yet.

Works for me too (don't know the model).
This release is all kinds of awesome

What about SSL VPN (i.e. Cisco AnyConnect)?

Cisco has Anyconnect apps in the market for SSL VPN. You have to have the corresponding mobile licenses installed in the ASA first.

Hmm...looks like it either requires root or a specific hardware vendor's ROM to work. Guess they haven't updated it to use the ICS VPN API yet.

Hmmmm today Im try connect to Cisco VPN which use Group Authentication but failed. On PC I use Cisco VPN Client version 5.0.07.0290 and can normaly connect.
I don't use certificates.
I have selected IPSec over UDP (NAT / PAT).
I have Host, Group Name, Group Password, User Name, User Password which I must write in which edit box on android?

Few of you mention to use it already supports it. I tried to setup one with L2TP/IPSec PSK. Entered the server name. Which fields do you put the group username and password in?
Thanks in advance!

I'm using the IPSec XAuth PSK setup filling the IPSec identifier with group and IPSec pre shared key with the shared password. I didn't need to use the advanced section.
I just basically went through each setup option until I hit the right combination.

That worked! Thanks. Now is there a way to get around requiring a passcode to unlock the phone?

good god that was so much easier than setting up my transformer for this. thanks everyone for the guidance. Any idea if there's a widget that will just turn a specific vpn on/off?

I'm using a Cisco IPSEC VPN concentrator. with PSK auth.
I'm able to connect but i can't route any traffic.
When i connect from my desktop i use to get a /24 IP with a default gw, when connecting from my phone all i get is a /32 ip and no default gw

Anyone use wifi tethering with android anyconnect?

I setup the anyconnect client on my phone which works great. I can access internal web pages, ssh to internal devices. Problem is that if I launch the anyconnect client on the phone, and then wifi tether my laptop to the phone, the phone will not forward the traffic from the tethered device to the Anyconnect VPN.
FWIW, Wifi Tethering works fine without the Anyconnect.
Running Task650's 4.2.2 rom and the Anyconnect for root users on the phone.

Same problem here. Any help would be appreciated!

it's probably a routing issue on the phone, but I haven't had a chance to look into it yet.

bump. I will look into this. But can't post my help until I make 10 posts and get the ability to post links

Its a setting set by your administrator
The issue:
You might already know this but your network admin configured the app to prevent sharing of the connection. This is a common measure to prevent breaches in security. Looking at the Cisco AnyConnect release notes:
Cisco has qualified the AnyConnect VPN client over a bluetooth or USB tethered Apple iPhone only. Network connectivity provided by other tethered devices should be verified with the AnyConnect VPN client before deployment.

The WorkAround
How AnyConnect works on the android is the same as on a computer, which is documented on SuperUser.
So what we have to do is either, export the VPN profile to another VPN app, or change the variable in memory that prevents tethering of the AnyConnect VPN session.
This can be done using (while it wasn't created for this purpose) Game Gardian

VPN Client on the Fire TV

Hi,
I'm in France and trying to set up a VPN client on the Fire TV.
The only decent I've found on the store is VPNroot which won't connect and display a "socket address family" error.
I'm using Boxpn service which works great on my desktop/mobiles.
Anyone succeeded in setting a VPN client on the ftv ?

Not yet. I have tried HMA and vyprVPN the apps crash when connecting to a server. You could do what I did and install DD-WRT on your router, granted your router is compatible. It works great for me and a have everything behind that router protected by the VPN

Yes i'm working on the router side too, but still thinks it'd be great to have the client running on the FTV itself.

Yeah, it would be cool to take it anywhere with you and just fire up the VPN app and get all the content without having to worry about carrying a router with you. ill keep looking into it. will update if find anything

I'm afraid, Fire TV OS is not particularly receptive to VPN usage however, if your router supports DD-WRT firmware, it's a good news because DD-WRT has the option of selecting different VPN configurations like: PPTP, L2TP or OpenVPN and Once configured, users on the network don’t need to enter a log in process when they need to activate the VPN. It just starts automatically, so any device connects automatically and easily, giving you all the benefits of using a reliable VPN service.

^^ Macuser just mentioned the tun.ko vpn module got it working. Theres a tun.ko installer by droidvpn in the playstore that some of u guys may want to mess with.

i tried to follow Rose Ab's idea
i found an old router with dd-wrt on it, i now have to networks: one local and one connected via vpn which has the AFTV on it.

Care to share how you configured the two networks? I'm thinking about doing the same thing, but can't find a reliable guide to do so.
I have two routers - both configured with dd-wrt. I find that when I plug my second router (w/vpn) into the first's LAN port, I can never get a connection to pass through. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

actually, i have one router for my "usefull" network wich is configured as a gateway (you can use your internet box too). The other is configured as a vpn connected client, connected on the first, making a network for devices that need to be connected to the USA. I use purevpn and they have good tutorials for tomato or ddwrt and other kind of routers.
I also have a NAS with two ethernet ports... each connected on a different network, so it can be available from the fire tv and my computer

Thanks for clarifying. I think I got it working on my end by configuring the 2nd router to use the first router's IP address as the gateway and local DNS server. Still not my preferred option (waiting for the PIA android app to function by itself), but it will work for now. Cheers.

wouldnt it be better to just load up DDWRT on a router and configure your vpn from there?

Can you tell us a little more about how you got this working?

The best option avalaible is proxydroid.
Droidvpn is too slow.
Knowing this, if you still prefer using a vpn just let me know.

There is a thread on reddit that explains both using the OpenVPN client directly on FireTV or split-routing setup.
Here is the link to use the OpenVPN client natively on FireTV:
reddit.com/r/fireTV/comments/2b4hlh/finally_got_vpn_working/
Here is the link to use OpenVPN on the router and selectively route traffic over the tunnel for the FireTV:
reddit.com/r/fireTV/comments/2b4hlh/finally_got_vpn_working/cjwup38
I'm sure you can adapt the instructions to suit dd-wrt. And if you can't, maybe you should switch over to OpenWRT.
P.s. I'm a lurker so I cannot generate links until I've posted 10 times. Maybe a mod can do it, or someone else can repost it, or better yet, transcribe the instructions.

I was able to get a split tunnel up and running on an ASUS RT-N66U router running Merlin Firmware. The VPN in Merlin is basically a port of OpenVPN in the tomato firmware implementation. The first step is to create the VPN tunnel and then you can setup the separate routes. For Private Internet Access (PIA). I used the following instructions to setup the tunnel:
https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/forum/index.php?p=/discussion/110/updated-tomato-setup-for-newer-branches-including-tomatousb/p1
Next I followed the instructions on this page for setting up a separate route for my FireTv. With this configuration my AFTV goes through the VPN tunnel and everything else goes through the normal Wan to my ISP. I followed the following instruction. Look at page 2 of the post for the instructions by WIZIN
http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9311&highlight=split
This is tailored for ASUS routers, but the idea should not be too difficult to implement on and dd-wrt o tomato firmware.
For me this is a much cleaner solution than running something on the AFTV. It starts up and shuts down with the router, so I don' have worry about restarting it when I reboot on the AFTV or it using CPU and memory on the AFTV.

Please help

[Q] How to connect to Cisco VPN with Group Authentication

Hi everyone,
Has anyone successfully connected to Cisco VPN using Group Authentication? I've tried to use IPSec Xauth PSk in both basic and advanced VPN settings but no luck.
At the very least, I'd like to be able to view the log to identify the issue. How can I access this log? Thanks!

Why you just dont try with NCP VPn Client, it allows you to import the pcf file or insert your own values there, works very well.

I realize 3rd party apps may work, (VPNCilla confirmed) but I am trying to utilize the native (and free) option.
