I am trying to use OpenVPN connect in a Genymotion desktop (3.0.4) emulated Galaxy S10. When I try to connect the VPN the emulated device hangs and no longer responds in the console. I have to restart the virtual device. The VPN profile I am using works on a physical Android device without issue.
I have tried altering network adapter configurations, this does not change behavior.
Any suggestions?
Almost every vpn provide options to modify apps which bypass the vpn connection (in fancy word split tunneling) so just select one apps that you need to use through vpn or just allow all system apps bypass vpn connection.
Just go to your vpn profile and adjust the settings as suggested.

Android studio has its own settings for connection. There I can use proxy. So this way studio will use that proxy instead of computer wifi connection to sync libraries for example.
But for example if my application I send requests to the firebase what connection will be used by emulator? It will use studio proxy or it will use computer wifi for that? And if I use real device will it use mobile internet connection or proxy?
I have tested all scenarios. So the answers are the following.
Everything local depends on local WIFI of the laptop. Android studio has opportunity to set up its own proxy but also wount work without wifi. Android emulator has a wifi spot calls AndroidWifi in settings which indicates laptop wifi.
The real device use its own connection. So these are to separate different parts. If there is no connection on laptop but there is on real device. So you can't add library but you can launch based on HTTP requests app on real device.
I have configured an IPSEC vpn on my Samsung Nexus tablet (4.2), the VPN works perfectly fine when I connect it manually. I have full vpn and internet access.
However, when I set it to 'always on vpn' I lose internet connectivity. I can still access all local devices i.e servers / printers but nothing outside of the vpn network.
I can't ping any external addresses like 8.8.8.8 or access any websites that are not on the intranet.
I have been trying different things - setting forward routese etc but nothing seems to work so far.
This is bug in Android 4.2+ firewall. You can try fix, available on Google Play and called AlwaysOnVpnFix. But because this fix recover firewall rules, root access is required. Else your must wait next Android release by Google ;'(
Is it possible to test wifi related tests on Android Emulator. That means in my application I have a scenario which will search a particular wifi network available and then connect to it entering password in the password field. Is it possible using Emulator only. Can it be done so that Emulator will access the wifi adapter of laptop and the available networks will be shown in the search list in Emulator.
N:B
I am using Robotium version 4.3 with ADT.
No, this is not possible.
There is no APIs to access the system WiFi adaptor.
Unfortunately, you can't enable WiFi on your android Emulator because the emulator is actually a virtual OS running on pc, which is using your laptop/pc WiFi connection.
If you want to search for WiFi networks, you better search on a real device.
i have connected several machines with server using VPN and i have a URL which is used to connect those machine internally.Now i would like to connect with android and make operations regarding it, so how can i connect and access its related data?
Android has some built in VPN functionalities. You can connect to PPTP and L2TP VPN networks (you have the option in the Wireless Settings screen). However if you want to connect to a OpenVPN network you have to install a third party application called OpenVPN Installer, which installs the openvpn binary, and control it by means of OpenVPN settings. The only problem is that you need a rooted phone and install the tun kernel driver by yourself (which can be complicated to find). The other way round is using Cyanogenmod, that already has builtin OpenVPN support (with all the needed stuff).
My company requires VPN to connect to our dev systems and for the first time I'm trying to work on an android app from home. Turns out the emulator doesn't want to use the VPN interface so even though I have connectivity to our dev systems on my VPN-connected laptop the emulator that's running on it does not.
I have thought of 3 solutions to this:
run a VPN client on the emulator, but I was hoping for a simpler solution than that
setting up a proxy server on my local machine
forwarding a port on my local machine
2 and 3 can probably work, but I'd still like to know if there is an easy way to get the emulator to use the VPN interface without a workaround.
I'm running OS X 10.7 and I've already tried adjusting the interface priority order with network>>set service order.
I suppose I can dust off the old dell and try it there, but I would expect the same results.
First start your vpn connection and then restart the emulator, now the emulator should use the host vpn connection.
it's mostly because of the DNS issue, according to the android doc:
At startup, the emulator reads the list of DNS servers that your system is currently using. It then stores the IP addresses of up to four servers on this list and sets up aliases to them on the emulated addresses 10.0.2.3, 10.0.2.4, 10.0.2.5 and 10.0.2.6 as needed.
I encountered this issue and tried something on dns settings but I could not solve it. As #machado said in the comment section below you should boot the emulator via "Cold Boot Now" option. I hope this helps.
What I do on my mac is just make sure 'send all traffic over vpn' is checked.
You'll find this setting after you click advanced while having your vpn connection selected in network preferences.
Works well for my situation, but may not depending on the type of VPN you're connecting to.
I had the same issue and solved it by connecting to cisco vpn after the android emulator has started and connected to the internet.
Works for me in windows 7
I setup a vpn connection on Windows. Then I started the emulator. The emulator and everything on my pc started to use that vpn connection.
