Neo u22-xj can't setup a vpn connection.

Have just purchased a Neo u22-xj but I can't setup a vpn connection (when I press save it just goes back to the vpn page and tells me "no vpn added".
Have previously owned a Neo U9 and a Neo x8, never had any problems.
Having read the posts about Neo u22-xj on this forum I'm starting to wonder if I should send it back while I still can (only bought it because I couldn't get BBC Iplayer on Neo U9 anymore)
Can somebody help me?
 
I go to vpn, Press + (add vpn).
Then I enter server address, name and password and press "save"

In addition to all questions you've been asked above, are you using ethernet or Wi-fi too?
 
Still working for me on the U9-H.

Recently there have been issues with BBC iPlayer but there are workarounds.
Iplayer demanded a new download, but the app has disappeared from google play and there is a message "this app is no longer compatible with this device"

This might help. May I suggest you download the Apk version. I use version 4.105.2.22551 from Apk pure.
Scroll down to find "previous versions" and look at the right of previous versions and click on "more" or....choose one of the 4 versions shown on the "previous versions" page you first scroll to.

Or...use Firefox and >BBC iplayer>click on 3 horizontal dots on top right of screen and click on "add to home screen".

Then just locate the widget/app icon and sign in once you have activated your vpn.

Hope you find a solution.

Well spotted. I was using it a few days ago....just tried it on the u9h.. now requests update. My apologies for misleading info.

So, which version one are you using?
 
I know this is not the answer to why you can't save the credentials in the device VPN settings but, why aren't you using the VPNUK app?
VPN connection up and runing with VPNUK app, Thank You.
Still can't get the Iplayer app and now got the same problem with ITV Hub (still works on the U9-H).
Can get to Iplayer via Firefox, But this is not possible with ITV.

Also worth trying the iPlayer WWW addon from the default Kodi add-on repository in Kodi. Seems better picture quality than the official iPlayer app at this moment in time.
 
Hi Just bought a new Neo u22-xj & having the same problem with not being able to save a VPN profile problem

I updated the software to the latest available: 20210203-V006a_20210203-1459

I go to Network & Interned > VPN > '+' > fill in info > hit save > return to VPN page and no vpn's added

Do I need a rooted box to save a vpn profile? or is there a work around for this issue

I want to VPN into my own network at home not just using one to get around geoblockers

Cheers Damian

You need to have a Vpn subscription to complete this. Or you can download a free vpn from playstore, which I do not recommend because they are limited in their coverage and efficiency. Following your steps does not provide a vpn service as part of the Minix U22 features unless you install a vpn service.

I stand to be corrected by those with greater knowledge than my own. Hope that helps.
