IP DHCP

---

I reflashed with this new rom:
[ROM] Official 2.2, with: busybox, old A2SD+, OpenVPN (TUN), EXT4 support, 802.11N

And it worked instantly


New problem
My OpenVPN server pushes DHCP IP addresses, this works great on win pc.

But the android phone doesn't get IP from the server?

Have you tried to check remote set addresses on the openvpn app on the phone. Also setting dhcp won't enable you to get vpn ip addresses by itself.

What do you mean? VPN DNS preferences can`t help me here?
Remote adress are set in openvpn client config file and works fine as its connect to server.
Openvpn server push dhcp but the phone does not recieve dhcp from server.
On Pc this works fine.

I do not need DNS as I only access to my home and work network. Openvpn server
dont push internet traffic just local access.

Openvpn server: 192.168.10.1
Gateway: 192.168.10.1
DHCP range: 192.168.10.100-192.168.10.200

In Win 7 Openvpn create a virtuell network adapter that get IP from Openvpn server, maybe i need to config TUN to recieve ip from server?

Admit that i am on thin ice here, but hope someone understand my problem and have a solution?

Do you want to know how to route the full traffic (Internet etc. to the VPN tunnel)?

ATTENTION!!! You have to modifiy the adresses to fit in your system

dhcp-option DNS 192.168.1.1 (it sets the DNS to the specified address)
route-gateway 192.168.1.1 (this sets the gateway address)
redirect-gateway def1 (and this one routes the full traffic (including Internet) through the VPN tunnel)

I use this parameters in my Win7 config and it works well. These commands are available in Linux, too.

I hope this was what you searching for

BTW: I want to buy a Desire (with Froyo) and play with andriod on my HD2.
Is the "recovery mode" or what you all talking about also available on the "HD2 MOD". Or is this not possible? I mean these "adb" commands.

I need OpenVPN because my APN "wap.vodafone.de" is not support all needed features of the Desire (like HTC Weather for e.g.). On WM 6.5 I use "ProxyCap" but that is not available for Android. It makes the proxy available for all apps, also those who have no own proxysettings (like Live Messenger (please no alternatives to messengers with proxysupport )
If somebody has an alternative, then OpenVPN has a lower priority for me

Hello
I need only access to the LAN side of network as mention earlier in this thread.
The openvpn connects but i do not access the LAN, properly because it do not get IP adresses from the OPENVPN server.

My LAN setup:
Openvpn server: 192.168.10.10
Gateway: 192.168.10.1
DHCP range: 192.168.10.100-192.168.10.200

Is this correct?:
dhcp-option DNS 192.168.10.1
route-gateway 192.168.10.1
redirect-gateway def1: can I drop this if do not need internet to redirect?

Some question:
What about android device IP? doesnt it need IP in the same range(192.168.10.x) not joust gateway or DNS
This commands, in console? And before or after Openvpn connects?
Maybe it is possible to create a script every time openvpn starts, and run this commands?

Many question, hope you understand me.
Thanx

OpenVPN connected & routed, but no browser?

---

Seems like i have an odd issue -- my browser seems to be the only thing that doesn't work right now. Emails, the XDA app, etc.. all work fine, just not the browser app..

traceroute is valid too, and the gateway is setup properly. On my laptop, using the same setup, it can access http just fine (and the XDA app shows that my phone is doing it fine too).

any suggestions? Could it be related to apn settings?

Hey
Take a look at my tutorial
Maybe it helps you with your configuration

dns problem

---

Hi, I'm having a rather strange problem with OpenVPN-settings on OpenDesire 4.0.x. Openvpn works fine through Wifi, but it fails when I try to connect through 2G/3G. It seems like it has something to do with DNS resolving of the Openvpn monitor interface, but I don't know how to resolve it. Here's the relevant logcat part:

D/OpenVPN-DaemonMonitor[/sdcard/openvpn/myserver.ovpn]-mgmt(  833): attach():using management port at 53105
E/OpenVPN-DaemonMonitor[/sdcard/openvpn/myserver.ovpn]-mgmt(  833): attaching to OpenVPN daemon
E/OpenVPN-DaemonMonitor[/sdcard/openvpn/myserver.ovpn]-mgmt(  833): java.net.UnknownHostException: localhost
E/OpenVPN-DaemonMonitor[/sdcard/openvpn/myserver.ovpn]-mgmt(  833):   at java.net.InetAddress.lookupHostByName(InetAddress.java:504)
E/OpenVPN-DaemonMonitor[/sdcard/openvpn/myserver.ovpn]-mgmt(  833):   at java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost(InetAddress.java:459)
E/OpenVPN-DaemonMonitor[/sdcard/openvpn/myserver.ovpn]-mgmt(  833):   at de.schaeuffelhut.android.openvpn.service.ManagementThread.attach(DaemonMonitor.java:4

E/OpenVPN-DaemonMonitor[/sdcard/openvpn/myserver.ovpn]-mgmt(  833):   at de.schaeuffelhut.android.openvpn.service.ManagementThread.run(DaemonMonitor.java:351)

V/OpenVPN-DaemonMonitor[/sdcard/openvpn/myserver.ovpn]-mgmt(  833): Could not attach to OpenVPN monitor port
D/OpenVPNDaemonEnabler(  833): Received OpenVPN daemon state changed from Unknown to Disabled
D/OpenVPN-DaemonMonitor[/sdcard/openvpn/myserver.ovpn]-mgmt(  833): terminated

It fails on a "java.net.UnknownHostException: localhost", so it looks like disabling Wifi is breaking DNS (even for localhost) resolving? It works fine when I start OpenVPN-settings when Wifi is connected, then disable wifi and enable 'myserver.ovpn' in the app, but fails when wifi hasn't been connected. There is an entry linking 127.0.0.1 to 'localhost' in /etc/hosts.

Any help is very much appreciated!

EDIT: this was solved by removing the line "::1 localhost" from both /etc/hosts and /system/etc/hosts, I'm not sure why it's there but it solves my issue.

FYI, ::1 is the IPv6 version of the local loopback address.
If the ::1 localhost definition was the only one and your kernel doesn't have IPv6 support, name resolution will fail.
