Android x86 has tun module enabled as builtin by default. You don't need a tun installer.
Just download your favorite VPN client and use it.

thanks,
I use OpenVPN Connect but when I try connect to a VPN server see the this error:

Problem creating TUN interface
Possibly the tun.ko kernel module is not loaded in your Android kernel.

Yes, same for me. It seems that /dev/tun is broken.
The error code is EBUSY.

Will need to take a look at this.

It depends what do you need it for. I assume you only need it to hide your IP, not for true VPN use.

If you have SSH access to the server, you can try the SSH Tunnel app.

I need vpn because many sites (apps) like facebook, youtube, imdb and ... blocked in my country.
Due to problems with Android 4.4.4 x86, what apps to bypass this limitation you recommend?
thank you

[TBD]

You can try HotSpot Shield, I used It for awhile, and I believe I remember seeing something about a version for android...

TBD

I try HotSpot Shield but unfortunately this app not working on Android 4.4.4 x86.

Anyone ever figured this out?

Facing the same issued with SonicWALL Mobile Connect

[Andre Kettschau]

 any news on this? The problem with /dev/tun still persists with 4.4-r3. 

I compiled tun.ko as a module, but this did't help either.

What can i do to hel find the problem?

Any update on this at all? It doesn't appear to have worked in any recent version of Android-x86 (I've looked back to 2011). This is the one item keeping me from actually using the 4.4-r3 build. I've tried using the native vpn client, cisco anyconnect, and fortigate forticlient; all 3 do not work.

What the error? Any log?

I suggest you provide the detailed steps
you tried so more experienced people
can take a look.

The error is basically "disconnected".  I'm not sure on the Android file system where it stores the actual vpn log files.

The built in VPN client shows me nothing other than Connecting... and then a Disconnected a few seconds later.

The Fortigate Forticlient is simply showing: "Revoked by Android.  REBOOT!". 

I know this works as I have another standalone Android tablet that works just fine using both the internal VPN client and 3rd party clients FortiGate Forticlient and Cisco Anyconnect.

If someone can direct me where to look for logs, I'll pull them.

Hi,

If someone can direct me where to look for logs, I'll pull them.

If you boot under debug mode ( there's an entry on grub for this), you'll have all logs saved to /data/log.txt (basically this is all saved "logcat" cmd output)

For kernel messages, you can use dmesg cmd on terminal:

ex: busybox dmesg > /sdcard/Download/dmesg.txt

If your Android network is working, you can attach them here using your Android Browser. Otherwise, copy the files to an usb flashdrive or another harddisk partition and attach from other OS.

Regards,

Pstglia

Same thing with Dell SonicWALL Mobile Connect. Connects then immediately disconnects.
