android vpn

I was useing my samsung galaxy phone's VPN software to tunnel in to my business camers (useing my FVS318N router) till my son did a hard reboot on my phone.  I know it was useing the advanced vpn client thats found in the more networks section of the phone.  unfortanatly I never wrote the settings down.  I have searched quite a bit and see a lot of people say it cant be done .  but I know it was working on mine.  (due to PCI complience issues I cannot port forward)  Any help would be gratly appreciated

    Hi KENDQ,

     

    I do not own a Samsung Galaxy phone and I have not yet tried to have a VPN setup on any android phone.  However, let me share this link as reference guide and this might help.

        Hi KENDQ,

         

        You might want to use your wife's iPhone as a guide.  Also, you might want to check this link since some android phone users uses the NCP Secure Android Client app.
