Still can't connect to the VPN on your Android device?

Try turning encryption "off" and see if it connects. Not using encryption might provide access to blocked content, as well as privatize your IP address, but it still isn't optimal for security, obviously. It would appear Android has a little way to go to best support VPNs.

SELECTING A PPTP VPN GATEWAY SERVER LOCATION

For fastest connection, it is usually best to configure it to connect to the VPN gateway closest to where you are. Simply add the 3 letter airport code to your server address field on your device and save and it will always connect there until you change it.

For example, MAD is the airport code for Madrid, Spain. To connect through the Madrid, Spain VPN gateway you would simply change the server address in your device's PPTP VPN software as follows:

Old: pptp.witopia.net

New: pptp.mad.witopia.net
