Hey All,
Just wondering if you all know if Cisco or Google will figure out the whole VPN / Group Name fiasco? I am not sure who or where the limiting factor sits with (Google or Cisco) but it would be really nice if they would support Cisco VPN when using Group Name.
I am pretty sure that was never solved in the 2.x version of Android. If it has, I would love to know!
At least on android 2.X I rooted and used VPN Connections and that allowed to me to connect to my work's Cisco VPN

Either VPNConnections doesn't work right with the Xoom or the tun.ko module that someone compiled for the other type of VPN isn't working right with it for IPSEC. I can't seem to connect using my rooted xoom, though I've done it with every phone I've owned with ease.
You can connect to a Cisco asa using ipsec Vpn with group name on 2.x?

Requires root, a tun.ko module compiled for your kernel installed on your phone and VPNConnections.apk. With those three things, it is easily done. My HTC Aria, Droid 2 Global and Droid X all could connect to our work routers which use Cisco IPSEC VPN with a group name/password.
The only way to get Cisco VPN working right now with the stock VPN client in Honeycomb is to have your firewall configured to allow inbound VPN using the group policy DefaultRAGroup (which is what it will default to when no group name is present).
It took me a few hours to figure it out but have it working on my ASA5505. Can't take credit though... this thread was instrumental in helping me figure out how to get it to go.

Refer to the post by Laurentiu Zibula.
Downside is that you can only get it working if you have full control of the firewall you're connecting to, and buying your network admin at work a six pack of beer isn't going to convince him to try this.

Don't think that will work for non-ASA devices though (i.e. routers).

Hi!
In our company we have Cisco VPN clients on laptops. How do I open VPN connection from TyTN?
.............probably not going to happen.
...did you install the client on your phone?
ClCisco does not have client...
There is no official client from Cisco. AFAIK.
There is third party program that I have not installed... Because it is so expensive. First I want to try with what I have...
In TyTN there is clien inside which should support appropriate protocols. It does not support changing RSA-key... afaik again. Any suggestions?
Hmm.
It should work, as long as your company doesn't demand that your computer be joined to a domain or anything. Hostname, username, password should be all you need.
Group password...
I think the biggest problem is this group authentication system... Groupname and password. There is no way to set those parameters.
VPN Clients that support "Group Authentication"
If you require "Group Authentication" you'll need either the:
Bluefire
http://www.bluefiresecurity.com/products/vpn/
(I'm testing with the 15 day free trial and it works, with one annoyance - it does not reestablish automatically if I lose phone signal, and have to reconnect, typing in password again. It will be $79 to own)
or the:
NCP VPN client:
http://www.ncp.de/fileadmin/pdf/datenblaetter/NCP_DS_Entry_Client_CE.pdf
(see 30 day free trial download link at end of the .pdf, I have NOT tested, but read it works here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356489, $83 to own)
Good luck,
Thank you for pointing the other... I've also been able to find Bluefire but had no time to test it. Good to know that it works. Yes I really need that group authentication. I'll test this second one also.
I've got Bluefire VPN working with a Cisco VPN Concentrator and RSA authentication.

I've been trying to connect my Tilt to my Cisco ASA5510 device using standard L2TP and I can't get it to work. No need for groupname and password, but it always fails.
The inbuilt client lt2p does work with cisco vpns we have it working through a cisco 3005 concentrator. It is a bit of a pain to set it up correctly at the concentrator end. If anyone is interested i'll put together a guide based on what we did.

I have sucessfully connected to a cisco asa ipsec firewall using froyo 2.2 on a htc evo 4g supersonic.

I have successfully connected my Android 2.2 EVO to a Cisco ASA 5520's Remote Access IPSEC VPN many times using VPNC. The problem comes when you actually try and route traffic thru the tunnel. . . Is everything working? eg, DNS lookups via the tunnel?
If it is, would you mind sharing HOW?
"Vpn connections" search for it

I'd sure would like to know how you connected to Cisco's ASA via ipsec VPN. In my case DNS would not be critical as making a RDP connection to my servers or workstations via ip address is all I need. Could please share your solution. Assume you are using Group Authentication?
Thanks in advance!
I used VPNC version 07 and have transfered files from my corporate SMB Server and established RDC/RDP sessions with corporate computers while at my home. It works with MIUI 11.19 and cm6snap kernel version 8.1

Per your request. This is not a hoax.

Hey thanks for the quick reply. New to this Android stuff - love it though. Just got my EVO about 2 weeks ago. So just to clarify. When you say -" It works with MIUI 11.19 and cm6snap kernel version 8.1", I'm assuming this is a rooted phone with that specific image. So probably won't work with stock EVO right?
You are very welcome and thank you for your interest and well thoughtout questions/comments. I have only had my evo about 5 weeks. I found it difficult to use at first, even a a IT administrator for a national hotel chain. Hang in there it will get easier.
Your device must be rooted. Use unrevoked. Dude you must root. If you don't, you are not using the device as t was intended by the designers. I will be glad to walk you through the process
I want to set up a VPN at home that my xoom can access. I tried a simple PPTP with dd-wrt but I can't seem to access or ping anything, even though it connects. I want to do this so I don't have to forward SSH, RDP, and other ports that expose my stuff to the outside world.
At home I am running a DD-WRT gateway with a linux server as well as a Windows Server 2008 VM behind the gateway, any could host the VPN service.
I don't need instructions on how to set up the VPN, but advice on what is compatible with android's built in VPN support.
Thanks in advance for any input.

The windows vpn service works fine for me
I was under the impression I needed to set up a domain to use the included windows VPN service, and I wasn't looking to set up a domain.
Is this an incorrect assumption?

Here's a link to getting OpenVPN working. Must admit it looks like it's not for everyone.

That was not necessary for me. If it is a requirement, it is specific to Windows Server edition
I have a Windows PPTP VPN that my Xoom can connect to. You do not need to set up a domain.
Unfortunately there is a bug in Android that makes it lose connection to the VPN after a few minutes/seconds.
See here:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4706
I just bypass androids native VPN and use Neo Router free. Available in the market. You just set up a Neo server on the computer you want to control and use the android app to open an encrypted connection to that computer. You can set up the app to forward any ports to the computer running the server. Works well. Right now im running splashtop remote and plex using it so i dont have to port forward the ports for those apps in my router.
Thanks for all the input. I am working on OpenVPN. I almost have it working (I already have my router set up for OpenVPN, just didn't know I could use it).
Hi,
Does anyone know if the ICS update on the SGT 7.7 includes support for Cisco IPSec VPNs?
Thanks!
No, again no CISCO Support
But I use VPNC Widget on my phones/tablets this works well for me.
(You must have root)
Didn't try it on the 7.7 now, because I have it since yesterday.

Not sure if this is at all relevant but I'm using Rooted AnyConnect from the play store, that's working fine with my company's VPN.
AnyConnect is not the right app for me, cause we have a PIX where you have to input Group and GroupPwd, no certificate.
I use VPNC for my companies ASA. It allows xauth, group password, etc. You will need root though.

Good luck
The easiest solution would be to use 3G/4G and thus avoid any filter/proxy that your company WiFi has.
Assuming you don't want to do that, you should try to figure out what kind of VPN you're using. There are 4 main types:
1) PPTP - This one is old but supported in almost every OS natively (including Android). It's easy to setup a server for these using any Pro version of Windows. It's also easy to block.
2) L2TP - This one is more secure but also less supported. This one is also fairly easy to block. I think only Server editions of Windows can create this type of VPN.
3) IPSec - This is your Cisco-type VPNs. These tend to be more difficult to setup on the server side. Depending on how the network is configured this may be blocked too (but less likely).
4) OpenVPN - This is probably your best bet to avoid workplace blocking. You can configure it to use any protocol or port that you want, however it is very difficult to configure for a first time user. There are tutorials available online to help. You'll need an app (and maybe root) to use an OpenVPN-based VPN.
