IPad and PPTP VPN - Internet access (e-mail & Safari) not working

Hi there!
I've got an iPad2 (WiFi only) and need to configure it to use Witopia PPTP VPN, which is the VPN provider I've been using for a long time on my desktop and netbook.
Configure the iPad was an easy task, and I was able to successfuly authenticate and establish a PPTP session with any of the Witopia servers.
The problem is that once established the PPTP session, if the "send all traffic" option is ON, I have no Internet access at all (no e-mail neither browsing with Safari). Then, if I stop VPN, turn OFF the "send all traffic" option in the iPad, and start VPN again, I have Internet communication back and everything starts working fine. I've been fiddling with this in my home network (D-Link Dir-655 router using the IP 192.168.0.1 addressing scheme for my LAN).
Obviously, I decided to leave the "send all traffic" option OFF, but then I discovered that doing this my Safari traffic is not encrypted and my IP is not masked, i.e. the VPN is up and running, I have normal Internet traffic, but the service to be provided by the VPN for some inknown reason is not happening.
Does anyone have a clue about what's going on ?
TIA

    I purchased a new iPad and bought a wireless plan with Verizon but can not get the settings to connect or look for a wifi connection.  I can connect to our house wifi but it will not connect on its own. Any help would be appreciated.

  • IPad and iPhone on Dell Precision 6500 USB3 ports: not working

    Hello,
    I just got a new laptop (a Dell precision 6500) with 2 USB3 ports. Unfortunately, when I try to connect my iPad or iPhone 4G to these ports, the device will enter a loop of connection/disconnection or simply have a "device not recognized" message.
    No other devices connected to these ports have any issue (I tried disk, mouse, keyboard and scanner). When I connect the iPad/iPhone to the "legacy" USB 2.0 or to the USB2/eSATA port, they work just fine.
    Any idea ?

    Look like those devices don't like USB 3. Your the first one that I have seen post anything concerning Apple devices and USB 3.

  • The "A" icon for the app store disappeared from my iPad.  erasing the iPad and restoring it (per Apple's instructions) did not work and took 10 hours!  Any other ideas?

    The iTunes store blue "A" icon disappeared from my iPad's desktop.  Applecare had me erase and restore the whole thing which took forever and the icon is STILL gone!  Does anyone know how to get it back?

  • I turned on my cellular option on my ipad and when i go outside the 3g does not work

    You said the 3G is not working. How do you know it is not working? Are there any bars? Is there a 3G icon? Did you set up a 3G plan with your provider?

  • No Mail, Safari not working?? A Fix

    On two occasions I lost the ability to get Mail and use Safari on my iPhone 3G. In each case, after some searching around I found that in Wi-Fi > Choose a Network, the DNS number had been spontaneously replaced by the Router number above it. (My DNS number looks like this: xxx.x.xxx.xxx, and is available from your ISP -- a number worth keeping in your notes.)
    Replacing this number solved the problem. This may help someone out there.

    For Safari. Empty the cache more often. Command + Option + E. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • Safari not working on ipad mini

    Hello, I can"t seem to get Safari working on my ipad mini. The screen is unresponsive and the text input boxes cannot have any text inputted. I have gone thru the various remedys I have found in this and other forums and nothing has worked. I brought it into an Apple store for a Genius to try and remedy and the inital troubleshooting didn't work. They tried a reboot, reset, and finally a new restore and the results were all the same.....nothing. They then took a brand new iPad mini out of a sealed box and setup that one. Believe it or not, after setting it up the same problem occured on this new iPad mini! So I asked to have my original iPad back as it had a personalization etched on the back but was told it was already swapped out and they couldn't return it to me. So now I have a brand new iPad mini that exhibits the same problem of Safari not working and also the advice from the Genius that in a couple of days Apple will have an update. I haven't seen any updates as yet so I am asking anyone on this forum if they have a solution to get Safari working. By the way everything else on the unit functions, I can surf using Chrome, read emails, etc.
    Thank you

  • Why must I force quit (double press home and slide off) Mail on both my iPad and iPhone in order to have Mail access on my iMac on the same wifi network. Fetch is set to manual and my ISP is Charter.

    I don't know about the "3" but it's a POP account. I've always suspected that Charter isn't letting go using their mobile apps for iOS. Puzzling that it doesn't block the other way. That is if Mail is open on the iMac it doesn't block access to Mail on either the iPad or iPhone. I'm guessing it's their mobile apps that are the problem but they won't admit it to me.

  • My company loaded profiles onto my iPad for email and calendars.. There is also a signing certificate and a certificate. What are these for? Additionally are they able to monitor apps and usage, ie Internet usage when it is not on their wifi?

    I do not have any VPN enabled?

    Do you happen to have an Android?  If so and depending on what version there is a great data usage analyse tool built-in.  See if you can go to Settings -> Data Usage  from there you can pick a current or previous billing cycle and then use the vertical sliders to select a date range and it will filter the usage data per app to show you exactly what app(s) were using data during that time frame.

  • I have to restart ipad each time for internet access.  Why?

    I have to restart ipad each time for internet access and some games.  Never happened until about 2 weeks ago.  ?

    Firefox is a browser: it doesn't require you to 'sign in'.
    It sounds to me like you have some kind of malware installed if you're required to 'sign in' every time you use it.
    I'd recommend you use Internet Explorer (''assuming that doesn't require you to 'sign in' too'') to go to http://www.malwarebytes.org/ and download the free version. It will quarantine any malware it finds so restart Firefox afterwards to see whether the problem recurs or not.

  • Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. Please help!

    Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

    It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
    Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
    I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
    The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
    If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
    If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
    There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
    But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
    In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3."

    For Safari try clearing it's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History).
    You could also try closing the two apps completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari or Mail 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail and Safari apps to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
