General :: VPN With Mac 10.8 OS X Server?
Jun 21, 2013
I have a Mac mini running OS X 10.8.2 with the OS X Server 2.2.1 from the app store, and I have set up the VPN using L2TP in the Server.app interface. I have tested this VPN connection using a Macbook, which works, but I can't figure out how to get Android's built-in VPN to work.
Current set-up:
I have opened ports 500, 1701, 1723, and 4500 on my router.
I am using a dynamic DNS from [URL], we'll say [URL]
I have set a "Shared Secret", we'll say 1234567890
I have set up an account for my android phone on the server, let's say the user name is "nexus" and the password is "google" On the Macbook, I simply use the DNS, the secret, and credentials that I have set up on the server, and it connects.
On my Android device (Nexus 4 4.2.2) I am using the following settings:
Name: Mac Server
Type: L2TP/IPSec PSK
Server address: hostname.no-ip.org
LT2TP secret: (not used)
IPSec identifier: (not used)
IPSec pre-shared key: 1234567890
When I try to connect using these settings, it prompts for the username and password, so I enter "nexus" and "google". It sits there saying "Connecting..." for maybe 30 seconds and then it just goes back to "Disconnected" with no error or other message. I have also tried putting the "Shared Secret" in the L2TP secret field, but with the same result.
Is the built-in Android VPN simply incompatible with OS X Server's VPN? Or have I misconfigured something?
Note: I would strongly prefer to continue using L2TP, and not the less-secure PPTP VPN

I have a hosting account at godaddy ruinning Linux. Is has MySQL. I am creating a J2ME application that runs on android and I was wondering if there is any simpler way to connect from j2me application to my MySQL server?
Is it required to install anything at my server? which I cannot do because of the shared account. Any way to just open the connection, update some data in the MySQL from j2me application?

I've been searching for a solution to put together an Android based torrent server. I've been using uTorrent on my Nexus 4 and it's a great little machine for that, but of course 16GB is a bit small for storage. I was looking at solutions like the ODroid to have a super low power system that could run 24/7.
I know that running torrents off an external USB drive is a good way to burn the drive out with all the accessing for seeding, etc... would there be able software solutions that would download torrents, seed them and when that quota is met move the files over to an external drive? Or would there be any way of connecting a drive via eSATA or something that would make the drive less susceptible to burning out?
I suppose I could just run an android device with a large microSD card and then manually move the files over.

Using Android 4 is there a native way to log onto a windows domain server. If not can it be done using the Android API?
I have a Transformer Prime running Andriod 4 (ICS). I also have the B4A basic android compiler if I need to write my own code. I really new to Android programming but have been writing Windows based software for many years.

I work in the IT department of a college and i am looking for an app that I can enter an ip address/host name and remotely shutdown/restart a computer. I know there are apps out there that do it but all I've come across are ones that require a program to be installed on the system ahead of time.
basically I am looking for an app that acts just like matcode's remote shutdown program.I've tried searching but but the results are too flooded with programs that require software to be setup ahead of time.I am rebooting windows 7 computers and have an atrix 4g phone

I'm looking to run a VPN server on my Android device so that I can set up a virtual network adapter on my PC to connect to the same network as my Android's wifi. I've seen plenty of Android VPN clients, but no server software.
Is there any software out there to run a VPN server on an android device?
I've heard OpenSSH runs an L2/L3 VPN, but I everything I can find on getting OpenSSH running on Android is all about ftp, and they usually wind up running an alternative. Is there a release of OpenSSH I can use on android for the purpose stated?

I have a PPTP VPN connection that I use from time to time to access files on my Windows server at work when I am at home on my laptop or on another computer. It works great... I just map the drive in windows and bingo, my files are there.
So, I was excited when I set my VPN connection up on my Samsung Captivate (it is rooted, if it matters). I set everything up, and it connected on the first try. I sat there and looked at the screen and thought, "okay, what do I do now?"
Perhaps I am missing the boat on this whole VPN for Android thing, but is there a way to access the files on a VPN server? I have the ability to map the drives on a PC, but I can not find a spot to do it on the Android.

I am checking this out on behalf of a friend. He has a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 tablet. He also has a Linux based server at home which he has his photos and films stored on. Is there a way for him to access these files from his tablet. Can he stream the films from the server to the tablet? Does he need to download an app for this?

Galaxy Note 8.0, Suddenly my gmail would no longer sync. So, I browsed the internet for a couple of days looking for a solution to getting reconnected to gmail. I deleted the gmail account from my tablet, uninstalled all updates from the gmail app under applicaton manager. Tried to setup the account again and still got this message "Cannot safely Connect to server". It seems thousands have had this issue and for some reason no one has been able to provide a correct solution. I'm thinking to go back to APPLE! WTF. Can it be that difficult to fix? I don't want a work around by changing ports, accepting bad certificates, etc...I don't want to ROOT my device, and I don't want to do a factory restore!

I have set up a VPN server on OSX Lion Server edition.It is using l2tp with preshared key and username/password for login. i(beep) works fine and connects. Laptop works fine and can connect.But...
1. When Iam on local network (same IP segment) I can connect using Android native l2tp VPN connection setup with PSK and user/pass.
2. When I try to connect from external (3G or other WiFi net) I am unable to connect.
3. When I enabe native tether on Android device, and connect i(beep) to the Android AP, I still am able to connect from i(beep).
These three steps tells me it is not a carrier issue, and possibly an Android issue.Kinda like the l2tp connection for security, and also Lion natively does not supply pptp connection.

I have to create an app that allows other devices to connect to my android terminal via wifi, without access point, so my device should become an access point to host their connections. i don't have to share the internet connection with them, just have to make them connect directly to me, then they send a UDP packet, and I have to read it, so on my device will have to be an UDP server after the connection creation. how to manage wifi? any step to follow? my android version is 4.0.3

I've been trying to set up my email on htc one x for 2 days with no success.
I've settled down for aqua mail, after trying maildroid, k-9.
The thing is that my hotmail acount doen't mark as read on server.
From what i understand it's because hotmail is pop'? but it has always worked for me on iphone. Is there a way to get around this.
I dont want to change provider, or forward my mail, or pay for email app, I'd like to have both hotmail and gmail accounts in one unified inbox so rather not just have gmail hotmail separately.
My stock email app is insanely slow, there's something wrong with it, how do i reinstall it?

im new to Android. before i used a Windows Phone. So i have setup my normal Exchange Account, like before on Windows Phone. I have found the Contacts, the Calendars, the Mails but not the ToDo or Tasklist. Where do i found the Todos? I hope, i do not need a thirt party app? I can not think that such a simple function is not included in Android.

the play store spits this error at me constantly. It happens when i download apps from the play store. It says "Error retrieving information from the server [RPC:S-5:AEC-0]". Just to clarify, things I've already tried: wiping data of play store and play service frameworks, wiping dalvik and cache, deleting my host file and readding my Google account. I've added another account and it downloaded apps flawllessly so it must be my main google account.

I have a XBMC based HTPC that is always on and would like to add a contacts server onto it for use with ICS based Android phones with HD Photos. Since Google is dropping the ball in this category due to lower picture quality and I want syncing due to constant rom upgrades and multiple devices that want the same pictures.
I will be using contacts only from this server email and calender isn't needed but I assume will come with any software that does contacts.The HTPC is a Ubuntu Linux system and that is not going to change.

I've messed with many different apps on my Android phone that, in conjunction with a server app, allow me to control my PC with my phone. I'm curious though if there is a hardware solution that does the same thing and doesn't require any server software to be installed on the PC?
Here's my idea. A dongle that's plugged into your PC and is recognized as a generic HID device. The dongle then connects to your phone via BT. Then using an app on the phone, you can now use your phone as a keyboard, mouse, or PowerPoint controller.
This would be great for times when you don't have admin rights on the PC needing controlled and wouldn't be able to install a piece of software, but you can at least hook up a mouse or keyboard and they work. I have to do a lot of PowerPoint presentations at school and would love to just simply pop a dongle into the PC and almost immediately be able to start controlling the presentation from my phone.

Every message I send from Gmail on my phone (HTC One S) shows up twice when I log into Gmail from an Internet Browser. I read this: [URL] which explains that I need to set my SENT messages to not be saved on the server (so that it shows up only in the IMAP/SENT folder, and not that folder plus the GMAIL/SENT folder).
But I don't see any settings in the mail app to do that. I even looked in the Gmail app, and didn't see them either. I am using IMAP and the default mail app on the HTC.
I switched to the Gmail app and though the settings don't exist to save (or not) on the server, when I send from this app I don't get duplicate sent emails.

I have a Motorola Atrix2, running Android 2.3.6 on AT&T. I have used Google Talk since getting the phone last December, but for the past week have had trouble.
When I wake the phone I find that I am no longer signed into Talk. My contact list is subdued in grey, a notice appears at the bottom of my chat window saying that the connection with the server has been lost, and my 4G icon has gone from blue to white indicating that I no longer am connected to Google.
I haven't done anything to the phone / settings to cause this. I've tried many things to fix this including: rebooting, hard booting, force stop the application and clearing it's data (cache is always empty), and replacing the SIM. Needless to say none of these steps have worked. I have not tried a factory reset as I have read elsewhere of people trying this with no luck.
As far as I have been able to tell, this problem only happens when connected to my service plan, I have never noticed this happening when hooked onto WI-FI
Having searched online all I can find that might be at fault is the version of Android (the phone originally had 2.3.4 but was upgraded several months ago), and the fact that AT&T has recently upgraded to "true 4G LTE" in my area. I have no idea if either of these are actually the cause of my problem.
Google Talk is one of my two main means of communication and I really need this resolved.
