Hi,

After playing around with it all weekend, i finally got the strongSwan Android 
client working! turns out that the gateway certificate has to have the 
subjectAltname field with the IP of the gateway.

Now I have noticed some strange behavior. When i go to a website it takes a 
very long time to even start loading. I setup Wireshark for my gateway and 
noticed that my client sends many DNS requests for the site, these are multiple 
IPv6(AAAA) requests, sometimes 5-10 before the site starts to load. I think 
this is the problem. Now I am not sure if this is a problem with my phone and 
Verizon network or something wrong with the strongSwan android client, any 
ideas?

Also, is there a way to have the client auto connect when a network connection 
is present. Is that possible with any android vpn client?

Also a strange thing is that it sends to the gateway requests for every CA cert 
stored on the Android phone. My Galaxy S3 comes with about 120 trusted CA certs 
and during the IKE it sends requests to the gateway for each one. On my gateway 
log file it reads "received 119 cert requests for an unkown CA" after that it 
uses the correct one. Is that some kind of bug with the android client?



Thanks again to Tobias for fixing my subjectAltname field problem, my internet 
browsing from my phone is now secure! :)
