OpenVPN / tun.ko / Binary Galaxy Tab

---

Hi,
openvpn is up and running.

Install busybox via busybox-Installer (Market). Then install Openvpn via Openvpn-Installer (Market). I dont know if Openvpn-Installer is needed, as we are replacing the binary with another file - but as it takes care of dependencies just install it

Use tun.ko from there:
xxx.android-hilfe.de/samsung-galaxy-tab-forum/51007-openvpn-tun-ko-unionfs-ko.html
(replace the xxx with www)

Binary from here: (OpenVPN Installer won't work - its not able to recognize push options)
github.com/downloads/fries/android-external-openvpn/openvpn-static-2.1.1.bz2

Finally you have to provide the busybox-ifconfig in /system/xbin/bb/ifconfig and busybox-route in /system/xbin/bb/route (ln -s /system/bin/busybox /system/xbin/bb/ifconfig ...)

cheers

Can you give any hint how to install the additional binaries? Even with a rooted Tab and a terminal, I dot not get this working.

just run openvpn installer from the market

I tried and got the connection established. But in opposite to my Desire, traffic is not routed that way.

Also, there is no /dev/tun

Addendum: Got it running, beside that I am using tap, doing a reinstall after having created the a.m. symlinks for busyboy, adding some push options on the server to force the routing did the trick (they were not required on my Desire).

I used the tun.ko module for the VPN Connections app and got it working great... except when I disable the VPN connection, it doesn't reset the dns servers to the values that where there before.

I don't believe it's the application since the same version on my Nexus One works correctly. If I turn off the data then turn it back on, I get my data back. I believe it to be the tun.ko not being written to reset the dns entries.

I think I could kiss someone, I now have working cisco vpn

How do we make the tun.ko module stay after a reboot? Mine disappeared from /modules/ when I restarted my tab? I copied it with root explorer.

Also if we can get it to stick will I have to run these commands each time?

insmod /modules/tun.ko
ln -s /system/bin/busybox/system/xbins/bb/ route
ln -s /system/bin/busybox/system/xbins/bb/ ifconfig

Hi, i am not getting this to work, is there any thing i am missing? What i did:

1. Rooted device and installed busybox
2. copying the tun.ko from the german site to /modules after remounting to r/w.
3. Running those three commands from previous post in terminal
4. Installing vpnc 0.99 and configuring connection
5. Connect

still get failed to connect.

any tips please?

I believe that's exactly what I did. Were all the commands successful?

works now.
I rebooted and reinstalled vpnc and busybox and recopied and reissued commands. Something must have been hanging from all my testing.
Tanks!

This is so great! Now I'm online with Sip, xmpp and RDP with work!

I know, get a life :)

I had to copy tun.ko to /system/lib/modules. I did have to create that directory but when I did, it was loaded every time.

You can make sure by using the lsmod command in the terminal emulator.
