OpenVPN on Defy

---

hello..

i've been trying to get openvpn to work on my Defy but no luck so far.
what i've done is:

-install busybox
-install openvpn settings and installer
-found my tun.ko
-copied my openvpn config to sdcard
-changed openvpn settings
-the vpn tunnel is created and connection is made but traffic doesnt seem to be routed to the tunnel

did anyone manage to get openvpn to work on Defy?

it was working fine for me for different android devices.


i used this tutorial:
hxxp://www.android-hilfe.de/root-hacking-modding-fuer-motorola-defy/58423-openvpn-auf-dem-defy-2.html

I use the phone's own VPN settings under Wireless & Networks and manage to get things working without any problems.

this is for PPTP or IPSEC but not OpenVPN.

Ohhh.... Good i found this thread, maybe you guys will be able to help me...

I have a working VPN connection from for ex. my laptop > home (PPTP)

But i am unable to connect to it using Defy's original VPN connection...

I get:
"Unable to connect to the network. Do you want to try again?"


Also - what does mean this "DNS Search Domains " setting?

what ROM are you using? on 2.2.1 L2TP works fine but not PPTP.

your options:

1. try L2TP or L2TP/IPSEC if your provider supports it
2. if your on a 2.1 ROM, try a 2.2.1 ROM


as for DNS search domains, you can put google's for example 8.8.8.8
or leave it blank if after connection is successful you can browse without problems.

Im on 2.1 - so its just that that on 2.1 PPTP is not working?

So DNS search domain are just specifying the DNS'es you will be using on this connection?

2. correct

i managed to run openvpn through a dns tunnel over a public hotspot at the airport.

this works on most of the newer (hotspot)systems but is extremely slow.

i got it working, i will post the steps later on.
