Help Putting a VPN on S2

Hey, I live in China and the Honourable and Glorious Communist Party has gracefully stopped me from corrupting myself with misinformation by blocking access to many web pages. Unfortunately, I am a bad person and still want to be able to learn about the world even if it means that I will not be in line with my party brethren.

The VPN on my laptop speeds up and allows internet access to any pages I want. Does anyone know of one for the S2?
 
VPN capability is built-in to the standard GS2 (Settings/Wireless & network/VPN settings) - I use a PTP VPN for mobile banking.
 
The great firewall of China is strong enough to keep out an Mongolian hacker invasion so most free VPN's won't get the job done any more. I have a pay for one but I'm not certain that I can just copy and paste the folder with it from my laptop to my SG2 and have it work since they are different OS's.

What do you think?
 
i dont know about copy pasting the server, but wat the SGS2 requires is a VPN server address, and login details (username+password) to login to the VPN.. if u have these details from ur paid VPN (and u should), u can just add it to ur phone and connect.. should work perfectly
 
What VPN client is it you run on your laptop or server do you connect to? It seems the Android one isn't true IPSec so you will have trouble connecting to the likes of CISCO ASA, unless you go through another service or download the client if written for Android.

PPTP/L2TP VPNs are getting blocked everywhere in Mainland China so you may have to use a full client based solution anyway. i.e. get a vpn service that you need to download a specific client for.
 
I use one called A9VPN.

I'll ask them if they have an Android version but I highly doubt that they do.

Do you have any other suggestions?

sorry, i just saw this post. well, u wouldnt need an android version, instead u could ask them if they could supply u with a server name that u could connect to, and login credentials if u dont already have them

marksmith12, u need to get a server name, and login credentials from any of the VPNs listed in ur link.. once u have that, on ur android go to settings/wireless & network/VPN, create a new VPN, enter the server name, and VPN type.. then save it, and connect to it with ur login credentials.. thats all :)
