SecurityKISS has enabled the PPTP connection method on their servers having in mind that users may also want to securely connect from their tablets and smartphones where PPTP client software is available. Android users are a big share of this group. Unfortunately PPTP VPN software on the Android platform is flawed: if you configure your PPTP VPN with the 'Enable Encryption' option ticked in 'Properties' then the connection is established but no transfer is possible or it hangs up after a short while.
This is caused by a bug in the MPPE (Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption) implementation in Android software. Even though PPTP VPN seems to be the essential feature and is advertised on Android phones it does not work correctly. Furthermore the defect was deteted at least 2 years ago and Google has not fixed it in any of the newer Android versions.
Although the 'Enable Encryption' option is recommended in almost all configurations we have enabled a few SecurityKISS servers without MPPE encryption to allow Android users to use PPTP anyway.
1. Open 'All apps' on your Android and choose 'Settings'.
2. Click on 'Wireless & networks'.
3. Click on 'VPN settings'.
4. Click on 'Add VPN'.
5. Click on 'Add L2TP/IPSec PSK VPN'.
6. Now enter: 'VPN name.
The VPN server address as a 'Set VPN server'.The secret code as a 'Set IPSec pre-shared key'. You can find SecurityKISS PSK secret in Client Area Panel on L2TP tab. And disable 'L2TP secret'.
Save settings by pushing a 'Menu' button (Hardware button on your device) and click on 'Save'.
Step 7. Your VPN setting is now ready.
Step 8. Your SecurityKISS Tunnel connection will be established.Tap your new VPN connection. Enter your User Name and Password and tap 'Connect'
