How to Setup Android Jelly Bean L2TP

This step-by-step tutorial explains how to setup a L2TP connection on Android 4.1.x Jelly Bean (e.g. Google Nexus 7):
 1. Navigate to the settings:    2. Select "More..."

3. Select "VPN".
If you haven't done so yet, you might need to set a PIN for security reasons now.



 
4. Select "Add VPN profile"
(on some Android versions, you'll
have to tap the
"+" instead ->  )

 5. Now you need to enter the VPN server details.
Name: Anything you like, e.g. "HideMyAss" or "HMA VPN L2TP"
Type: L2TP/IPSec PSK
Server address: The L2TP server IPs can be found @ http://hidemyass.com/vpn-config/l2tp/
IPSec pre-shared key: HideMyAss
When ready, click "Save".
6. You can see the new connection you created.
Tap it to connect.
7. Now enter your login details:
Username: Your VPN account username
Password: Your PPTP password
(note, this is not your account password!
Get the PPTP password from the server page).
Check "Save account information" and tap "Connect".
 8. You can see the status
"Connecting..."
Please wait.

 9. Now you can see that the VPN connection has been made.

As long as the VPN connected, you'll see the status
"Connected" below the VPN connection, and in your
notification area (on the top) you see the key icon.
10. Tap on the connection name to get details
about it. There you can also disconnect.
