Seems the OpenVPN instructions are not working as the tun driver is not compatible with the latest softroot. How can we ensure that the OpenVPN files stays up-to-date?

The note provides that the tun.ko file works for the 1.4.0 "B&N" version. Shouldn't it be improved by adding that it should work with the softroot 2.4.1 ?

My tests and how I got it working

After 2 evenings, I have it partially working : Note for Windows Users : Doing Ctrl-C in the shell will 'close' the connection between the command window and the shell but will not interrupt the openvpn process ... you'll need to interrupt it with a "kill". more on that later when I have it all fully working

Also a problem with the DNS : We need to set the DNS ourself after having the VPN launched ...

Ok, Got it working now with alwaysVPN (and with the WindowsXP command line). After installation (steps 1-11), make sure the wifi is enabled and connected, no Lock though.

Then do step 12 When the sequence is completed, Lock the Wifi

type in the following commands : adb shell getprop net.dns1 adb shell getprop net.dns2 This gets you the original dns configuration As AlwaysVPN only allows DNS traffic with OpenDNS (and the OpenVPN somehow fails to set it), you need to set the DNS: adb shell setprop net.dns1 208.67.222.222 adb shell setprop net.dns2 208.67.220.220

Now go and do your shopping.

When finished, you need take down openvpn type in the following command : adb shell busybox pkill openvpn This sends the close down message to the openvpn process

You can now unlock/cut down your wifi connection. --Shadow007 13:14, 19 September 2010 (PDT)
