How to enable VPN support in Android Emulator

Question

I like to use a PPTP VPN in the Android emulator. My VPN provider is Witopia. The settings work on a real phone (HTC Desire).

It does not work, the connection just times

Answer 1

yes it is like kernal issue:

1. No tun.ko module (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630703&page=2)
2. No support lkm (loadable kernel module) (http://code.google.com/p/get-a-robot-vpnc/issues/detail?id=100)

So I think you need custom kernel http://code.google.com/p/batterymine/wiki/BuildingInModuleSupport

Also you will need copy to emulator other modules: slhc.ko, ppp*.ko

Answer 2

Wipe data of emulator from device manager and restart emulator. I hope this will help.

Answer 3

I had the same problem with a 2.2 emulator. I switched to a 4.2 emulator and it is working fine through the VPN.
