OpenVPN?

---

Has anyone figured out how to get OpenVPN working on a Motorola Milestone?

I tried to using the OpenVPN Installer and OpenVPN Settings apps from the Android Market but was not able to get it working.

Made some progress but still not working...

---

I've managed to install the OpenVPN binary to /system/bin.

Got a Motorola Milestone Tun.ko driver from, http://code.google.com/p/sbdtools/downloads/list. It's been copied to /system/lib/modules. I've been able to enable it using the insmod command in adb shell. Verified it was running with the lsmod command.

I've moved my openvpn .ovpn config files to my SD, /sdcard/openvpn folder. Started the OpenVPN Settings app, configured the tun and path settings.

Then I started my connection and was able to obtain an IP address.

BUT... still not able to surf to Youtube or other China blocked sites.

The upload & download stats appear to be not moving, even when I try to surf to one of these websites (up: 0.02kBps - down: 0.02 kBps).

Will continue at it for some more, but if anyone is able to help, that would be much appreciated.

Hi, same here.. I am based in China and have done the steps you mentioned... I can connect to OpenVPN but there is no traffic.. I subscribe to 12vpn and called the helpdesk, they told me it could be due to DNS poisoning.. but really doubt that.. I got it working like once the first time but never did again...

I've also installed open VPN to system/bin on the droid 2 running 2.2.19. My config and certs have been transfered to /mnt/sdcard/openvpn and I've also setup my config in the open VPN GUI (available on the droid market) to point to this directory for my config.

After launching the app and attempting to connect, I get an error message that the command was not successful (the error is a bit more verbose than that).

I did find another app on Droid market that got me a bit closer to connecting called openVPN settings. The error output on this app is much more verbose and aids troubleshooting better. I was able to workout all of the application problems, but my issue now is with the tun.ko module. It appears that the downloadable modules online are for 2.1 and prior as none seem to work with 2.2. I have the module copied to /system/lib/modules and the app (openvpn settings) has a feature that loads the module (either by modprobe or insmod, you can choose). My problem now is that the tun.ko module seems to be wrong as I keep getting the error "Fatal: cannot allocate tun/tap dev dynamically."

Have either of you come accross this same issue?

Hi, I have running OpenVPN without problems. I use OpenVPN Settings from market, tun.ko on /sdcard and openvpn binary in /system/xbin. Make symlink ln -s /system/xbin /system/xbin/bb. Both files are in this archive http://www.android-hilfe.de/attachme...nd_openvpn.zip. Working openvpn.ovpn + CA files in /sdcard/openvpn. In OpenVPN Settings set up Load module using - insmod and Path to module /sdcard/tun.ko. And OpenVPN is working. If not, try run from konsole : insmod /sdcard/tun.ko
Motorola Light 2.1 ROM + JIT


On CyanogenMod 6 for Milestone you need only tun.ko. No openvpn binary, no create symlink. In OpenVPN Settings only set up insmod and path to tun.ko.

(and sorry for my english )

No worries ZS-Man, your English is much better than some people who are born speaking the language.

I unfortunately already tried loading the kernel module by command line with root (#) access and it gives me this error message:

insmod: init_module '/data/tun2.ko' failed (Exec format error)

I've tried many different versions of the tun.ko file available online. None seem to work with 2.2.20 OS (2.6.32 kernel)

Android version (2.1 or 2.2) is not important, only tun.ko must be compiled from same sources as kernel. You must search module for milestone2, or compile it by yourself from milestone2 kernel sources. Another nice app is Tunneldroid , it has log viewer - good for debugging openvpn connection.
