I had the same problem, but I found a solution.
I just chose Pattern, turned off the screen, turned it back on and clicked on Forgot in the lower-right corner. After I gave in my Google password it changed automatically back to slide.
In the settings the option "none" is still grayed-out but it's selected anywhere and it works.

A VPN is a virtual private network.
Your device connects to a VPN server through a public connection and tunnels a second virtual and private (to you) connection through the VPN server to see all devices that are protected behind the VPN server (such as a company's whole network infrastructure for example).
This feature is mostly used for road warriors ...

--redirect-gateway
Automatically execute routing commands to cause all outgoing IP traffic to be redirected over the VPN.
This option performs three steps:
Create a static route for the --remote ...

This is really a continuation of @Zuul's answer, to cover the DNS settings in Android 4.0+ (ICS), which is a little harder to find IMO. AFAIK Zuul's answer covers Android <2.3 settings.
From the Android side (Android 4.0+ ICS)

Press and hold (long tap) your wireless network until dialog pops up

As described in this how-to, you can do this by installing a "chrooted" Linux distro on Android such as Ubuntu, and then downloading, installing and configuring Hamachi manually.
Hamachi is a vpn program which can be used to link up computers. With
hamachi on an android you would be able to access the files on
multiple computers from anywhere in the ...

The way I did it was to install dd-wrt on my home router and enable PPTP VPN. Then I just put in the user name and password in the VPN settings in Gingerbread.

Typically, yes.
You're creating a private network -- you want to route stuff through the network. It's private.
If only the browser applications were routing through the private network -- some other app could be sniffing activity, and sending it through the other connection. Goodbye, private!

If you are looking for best quality free VPN service for Android, go for RaptorVPN. There's no need to install additional VPN client app. It works with in-built VPN of Android.

Answering an old question, I know, but Android 4.2 has "Always-on VPN" in the menu on the VPN Settings page: setting a VPN profile under this will maintain the VPN connection, and only allow network traffic when connected to it.

I dont think so that your need to have to Port if you are willing to use VPN on Android. You simply need to add the server name in the settings which will be given to you by your VPN Provider. However, i will advise you to configure the setting again on vpn android

This is for security reasons: If you loose your phone with VPN set up, anyone can log into your network. Having a pin lock mitigates this threat.
If you happen to have CyanogenMod 7+ installed there's an option called Profiles. You can setup your default profile to have no screen lock at all (not even slide lock). That's the closest I got. Hint: This ...

I've been interested in trying this for a little while, but for now I have just been using SSH. The guide I've been eyeing on the subject is here, which is using OpenVPN to DD-WRT on Android.
It seems pretty straightforward.

If Joe's device is rooted and Joe has a server (with full SSH access) running somewhere on internet, Joe should use SSH Tunnel app with socks proxy option checked (for dynamic port forwarding). There's no need to install VPN server or proxy server. There's no need to do complicated configurations on server. Plus, Joe's data will be secured inside powerful ...

Check out this list: Proxy, Tunnel & Co. Though it is in German, you already find the relevant apps grouped by their purpose. For VPN, try VPN (also in German).
The German language should be no problem concerning mapping apps to the requested topics (VPN, tunnel, ...), as that part is language-neutral. Descriptions can mostly be replaced by those from ...

Cisco offers a rooted AnyConnect vpn client, and it turns out they also have an ICS AnyConnect available in the Play Store as well. This should help!

Step #1)
Create security lock through Settings (pattern, pin, password).
Step #2)
Add VPN connections
Step #3)
Plug the phone in and run these commands (requires adb to be setup properly and drivers). I am sure there is a way to do this directly on the phone but this is easier for me.
Commands to remove security:
adb shell
sqlite3 ...

You might want to take a look at the DNS Settings app, which claims to be able to do what you want (you just have to switch once to a static IP to change the DNS settings, and then switch back to dynamic IP, according to the description). That's the only non-root app I could find for this issue -- there are two more apps at least, but they require root to ...

You could use DroidWall for this IF you're rooted. Just deny all traffic and then allow traffic to your VPN IP/port. If you need to use a custom script see the man page of iptables for the syntax. Here's a quick, untested example.
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -P OUTPUT DROP
iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 1194 -d ...

SSHTunnel
SSHTunnel is an ssh tunnel/vpn solution for Android. When I first found SSHTunnel, users were forced to use an application's settings to use SOCK5 proxy, but now sshtunnel can handle per application and global use on its own. Just like rooting is required to get the full functionality of Orbot, you will need a rooted device in order to get ...

You could install Orbot on your phone and install a bridge on your server.
Depending on your needs, you might want to restrict bridge access via
a whitelist. (Please see comments)
This isn't a true VPN, but provides the same functionality.
Orbot can force ALL traffic or app-specific traffic.
Orbot [02/20/12] 0.2.3.10-alpha-orbot-1.0.7-FINAL.apk

OK, so let's clarify the problem.
Can you please explain which file is for? For example, what is the "ta.key" for?
Normally, there's the file list on Server's side:
server.conf (the configuration of server, seemed you haven't got
this file?)
ca.crt
ca.key
dh1024.pem
and the server should also contain a set of client keys.
For the client side, it ...

First of all, check the Keys tab in TomatoVPN to see if you already have some default keys defined. If not, check out the OpenVPN HOWTO for info on how to generate the keys. Next, copy the first two keys (CA and Server certificate) from the text areas to a text editor and save them with .cer suffix and transfer them to your phone. CM7 should be able to ...

SSH Tunnel is an app that allows an

coffee shop that only has public Wi-Fi
available, and you need to be sure
