Android VPN setup

Hello,


Trying to get a VPN connection working on Android.
The support article on Setting up an Android device as a Hamachi mobile client - LogMeIn Central Support (logmeininc.com) does not quite match the Android dialogue to setup a VPN connection.

First of, it is not clear which certificate goes where - there are 3.

Then, why are there additional user/password credentials requested on the dialogue and which should go there.

 

Which IPSEC should I choose?


And then I am supposed to enter a server address? What goes there? :: Found this one

    After Android 12 and higher, VPN type PPTP or IPSEC is not available.  My cellphone (Samsung Galaxy s21+)  has only tree types  IKEv2/IPSec MSCHAPv2, IKEv2/IPSec PSK and IKEv2/IPSec RSA. None configuration works and Hamachi profiles preview Androig config sample is not correct . When Hamachi will correct this problem?

    Thanks for the suggestion.
    I want to use the VPN to connect to my Home Automation running on Windows and therefore the Hamachi gateway client is also running there.

    An option I want to explore is implementing an OpenVPN server on my Windows system.

     

    Concerning Hamachi I temporary solved the problem by using an old Android smartphone which still supports IPSec Xauth RSA and so it works as a Hamachi remote client.
    I can connect by using my new(er) Android smartphone as a hotspot.

    An option you might want to consider is using a different VPN service that is specifically designed for Android devices.

    OK, that's clear.
    Thanks for the info.
    Hope in the future Android 12 will be supported as more and more users will be using this.

    Grtz

    I've got the same problem as paedes, tried several settings.

    Not clear what to fill in in Android 12 VPN settings for IPSEC connection.
    I would suspect in the meantime someone could answer this question.
    So can someone please post what settings to apply.

    I've got the same problem.

    Installed the *.pfx as a VPN-Certificate

    HamachiRootCA.crt as CA-Certificate

    HamachiIntCA.crt as CA-Certificate

     

    VPN-Settings i did like this:
    Type: IKEv2/IPSec RSA

    Serveradress: m.hamachi.cc (I also tried my.hamachi.cc)

    IPSec-ID: (Cannot be unfilled so I chose my user-ID from Hamachi XXX-XXX-XXX)

    IPSec-User-certificate: The previosly installed from .pfx

    IPSec-CA-Certificate: (from Server / I also tried both of the Hamachi CA-Certificates)

    IPSec-Server-Certificate: (from Server / I also tried the installed from .pfx)

     

    Unfortunately I cannot establish a connection to hamachi.

    Could someone post Settings that work for Android 12?
