[Q] Kindle Fire HD 8.9 CM10.1 VPN - 8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I seem to not be allowed to post to Android developer, so here it goes:
I have installed CM10.1 (20130508) on my Kindle Fire HD 8.9.
Everything is working fine, except for VPN.
I can't get either PPTP or L2TP to work, neither with the built in client nor with VPNroot.
Does anybody else have this problem? Is there no kernel support for PPTP?
Thanks,
Felix

Works for me on [05/14]

Hi,
I got PPTP to work on 20130514 with VPNroot, I don't know what went wrong before.
Thanks,
Felix

I also cannot get any updates from my Facebook app or any other app besides email. can anyone shed some light on this issue? Is it a special type of wifi or a setting of some sort?

This isn't the wrong thread. He is on a kindle fire. This is the kindle fire forum. This is where he is supposed to go.
As far as an answer goes, cm7 is pretty old, so I don't know. What short of internet do you have at home?

I don't know. It sounds weird. Does this happen on other ROMs?

And have you tested this on 8.4.3?

Yes it works, I have had a few reports of it on the 8.9 inch model. Luckily each kindle os works the same way so its easy to patch so it works across all of them without any specific tweaking for any given os.
