Kobo Vox and VPNs

caspin · 12-28-2011, 07:07 PM

Hello!

I'm fairly new to the Kobo Vox world (but not so much to the android OS). One problem I've encountered is that the Vox seems to have VPNs disabled. Does anyone have any advice on how to use VPNs on the Kobo Vox? Is there a work around yet or will I have to wait?

Seems kind of silly for VPNs to not work tho.

Thanks!

My vpn has been working since last update. I use witopia open vpn on my pc but use their pptp on the Vox. Not sure what kind of help you need? Witopia has a wiki that describes step by step setting up a vpn on android and it now works exactly as described.

Hmm. Kinda, but I'm trying to connect to a L2TP/IPSec PSK connection, which doesn't seem to want to connect.

It's annoying, I just don't know what to do.

I am still unable to connect using L2pt (and probably IPsec as well if I tried). PPTP is now definitely functional. If you must use a vpn that is not pptp, I suggest you contact the vpn provider to get help.
