Android Connection Problem

[zsam288 36]

Hi All,

 

I'm trying to use my Nexus 7 to connect with a VPN

I followed the steps of this link https://airvpn.org/android/

 

However when I connect, the connection seems to go through and packets are being sent/received (very few tho)

 

But i cannot acces any websites or I don't seem to have any internet connectivity

 

any suggestions?

I'm having the same problem.  Followed all the instructions on the https://airvpn.org/android/ link.

OpenVPN says it's connected, but cannot get websites to load.

 

Details:

- Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1.  

- Android 4.1.1

- Not rooted.

- Tried both Chrome and Opera browsers as suggested.  Still no luck getting websites to load, or indeed any apps (eg. mail program) to download data.

- Using OpenVPN Connect as suggested.  Version 1.1.11 (build 44)

- Using airVPN's Canadian server.

- Using UDPv4 on port 443.

 

After I click to disconnect the VPN, the internet works fine again.  When I reconnect the VPN, the internet stops again.  I looked but cannot find any solution in the forum.

 

Are there some additional configurations that ought to be done, which were not shown in the page https://airvpn.org/android/ ??

 

There are so many things to potentially try (different server, different VPN client, different ports, TCP, ...).  Where should I start?

 

Any guidance would be helpful, thanks!

re: my previous post ... I got it to work after playing with different combinations of server and udp vs. tcp.

The one that worked for me is the america (continent) server with tcp on port 443.

(earth did not even connect, for me, either on udp or tcp).

Hope this helps others in the same boat.
