VPN stopped working.

I seem to have a problem. Updated to Siyah latest version. Since that I've been having problems to connect to the internet through VPN. I had no problems with this earlier. It tries to connect, but after a period of time I get "timeout". I have no problems connecting to the internet through regular VPN on my MAC and the phone has no problems finding WIFI connection or connection to other WIFI without VPN.

I've even put in wrong login info, but don't get "authorisation failed", just "timed out" after a period of time. So it seems it's not even trying to log in.

What authentication method are you using? PPTP works fine for me; however I've just tried setting up an L2TP PSK connection and see the same symptom i.e. "timed out".

Using Siyah v3.2b6 here without problems. There's always the chance that it's a server-side issue and pure coincidence that it appeared after the kernel update.

When doing a kernel update, do I need to do any wipes? Tried different Siyah versions now. Same problem with v3.2b6, v3.2b7 and v3.1.2.

Cache and/or dalvik-cache, never.

I don't even bother wiping startup scripts if updating the same main version e.g. v3.x unless the changelog indicates that something in my config is no longer valid.

Are you running the kernel 'stock' i.e. at defaults with no overclocking, undervolting etc?

Install aLogcat, try the VPN connection and then immediately run the app. It will capture the system log and (hopefully) reveal where the error is occurring.
