I have a similar issue with my PPTP VPN on my Tab. It connects fine but won't pull data down. Same thing happens on my Desire. I think it's is either Android or my mobile provider that is causing the issue. I don't think it is Tab specific.

Anybody found any fix for it? as it don't feel comportable using my TAB at public hotspots

Here's the same for me! Please advice if anyone could find a solution!
Thanks in advance

I have the same problem with my SGS2 v2.3.4 XXKG6. The server VPN it's a Linksys WRT350N with DD-WRT v14896 Mega.
Is there any solution for this huge problem??
Thanks in advance

It looks like it is somehow related to MTU settings

The problem only happens when you connect via 3G. How I can check my SGS2 and the router MTU settings?.
All internet is full of this issue!
Thanks for the help

Don't worry, it's normal. From 1.6 to 3.2 I still have to see VPN working on Android.

I use a 'Hidemyass' PPTP VPN on both my Galaxy Tab and HTC Desire, never had a problem. Both are running stock Gingerbread firmware.

Just to clarify, it's a service (paid one) and not an app. Still, if it works it's a find, a VPN that works on Android!

Try the solution from @codington half way down this page: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205990&page=42
It's using openvpn, but I got it working last night. In addition to the instructions, you'll need to create the directories /system/xbin/bb (as mentioned in the next page by @xda890). I also had to put my openvpn folder (with settings files) into /etc as well before I could sign in.
But it works a treat!

Yeah openvpn works fine after rooting, we are talking about pptp vpn

Free VPN working with Android (Hotspot Shield)?

I tried configurating Hotspot Shield VPN (http://hotspotshield.com/clientless/iphone/get_started.php) that works fine on iPhone but I just can't make it work on Android.
Do you use Hotspot Shield with Android or do you know any other free VPN?
I tried the same but with no luck
Anyone else ??

Running CyanogenMod 6.1 on an htc Desire. Works great for Pandora so far.
Thank goodness because the sites listed in this thread so far seem like crapola.

Sorry to ask but can you explain how, I keep getting fail to connect... Thanks
This is how i use my phone with hotspot shield...
That's exactly how I got it, but it keeps saying failed to connect... Does this works over 3G or just on Wi-Fi?
Thanks
Still no luck using same settings but I get Failed to Connect, over 3G and Wi-Fi, I think it might be a kernel problem or the tun.ko module, I checked my kernel and the module is there...
I'm Using AuraxTsense HTC Desire ROM.
Any Help would be great.
have no idead about htc desire, but on sgs it's working ) but i posted info ONLY about ipsec for HotSpotShield...
Still no luck on my side neither 3G or Wi-Fi works
i have no idea - me working perfect! did you get log/pass for iphone connection?

[Q] Wifi Disconnecting in Gingerbread

My wifi is constantly getting disconnected. I have to reconnect many times a day. This is really getting frustrating. It was working fine(very much FINE) on froyo 2.2.1 xxkb3 rooted and deodexed but after i updated to 2.3.4 gingerbread, this problem began! Is there someone who might be knowing what the problem is????
First i tried stock XXKPH, then i tried after CF root and after that i thought a custom ROM might help so i installed GanaROM but wifi is not working properly in any one of them. It is getting diconnected if i don't use it for like 5-10 minutes. And i have even turned the wifi sleep policy in the advanced wifi settings to NEVER. But still!!
USE CONNECTIFY v1.20

I have the problem like this. Can you try to ping 8.8.8.8 from console of your phone? I have almost 80% of lost packets. If you will see this, you have to change your WiFi router. I've tested my phone with 3 routers and only with Asus 520GU I can't use WiFi with GB (with Froyo all is perfect)

Yes, I have this problem and still don't have solution. That's why I'm at Froyo. I don't want to change my home WiFi router if I'm not sure that the phone will work with new one.

MMS issues on every CM7 ROM.

This has been happening on every android device afaik, tried on GT-P1000, on GT-S5660 and now on GT-S5830 (that's galaxy tab 7", galaxy Gio and galaxy ace).
On CM7 it's impossible to receive or send MMS unless you have an active internet connection which can't be wi-fi btw only data works. This is a major issue, data plans in Portugal are a pain in the ass and expensive but MMS service is free. Now, the MMS works IF you delete the data for internet however as soon as you reboot it stops working. Setting mms profile to * or default, mms also does the trick however 50% of the time also fails to work. On stock Rom it works just fine and this seems to be an issue with data profiles on the cm7 Rom itself.
Now for my question, anyone knows a way to fix this? I've googled for ages with no luck.
My carrier is Vodafone Portugal and the APN are configured using the APN Portugal app on the play store which works just fine on CM9 and Stock.
Thank you very much in advance for taking the time to read this and answering if at all.

i also recognized this problem in cm7..
did you already try GoSMS?
or this workaround?

I did try GoSMS without luck, did you change any of the settings to make it work?

i didnt make it work, i just used stock rom again..
did you try the workaround from my first post?
I went the stock route as well lol I just like CM better than Stock. That workaround is for receiving MMS via wi-fi only isn't it? Or did I read that wrong?

[HELP] ParanoidAndroid - Can't connect to 5Ghz networks

Hey guys.
Like the title says, ever since I flashed this rom, I am unable to connect to my 5Ghz wifi.. I used to connect to it just fine when I was on stock.
When I try to connect it just says "saved" but doesn't attempt to "authenticate" or "obtain an IP address" or any of the other usual stuff it does.
Just wondering if anyone else had a similar issue and managed to fix it? Help would be much appreciated.
Yes i have the same issue. Didnt connect to my router On pa and cm10.1/10.2.
I entered pw and it says "saved" but no connection. I am searching so long about a fix even with open wlan it did work and 2.5Ghz...nothing...dont know what to do. On stock everything is fine! Let me know when you have a fix for that pls.

I randomly connected to a 5ghz network yesterday. Just once.
I tries again today but the same problem that I mentioned I'm my OP still persists.
I'm actually not on PA anymore but on CM.
The issue is exactly the same though..
