No VPN etablished

[MoienBowen]

Hi,
I have an Android 7.1.2 no-root.
it's connected as dev on mode charging or MTP (I tried both), and adb devices could list my device.

I did ./gnirehtet run:
2018-05-24 17:02:43.483 INFO Main: Starting relay server...
2018-05-24 17:02:43.483 INFO Relay: Relay server started
2018-05-24 17:02:43.483 INFO Main: Checking gnirehtet client...
2018-05-24 17:02:43.549 INFO Main: Starting client...
Broadcasting: Intent { act=com.genymobile.gnirehtet.START cmp=com.genymobile.gnirehtet/.GnirehtetControlReceiver }
Broadcast completed: result=0

There is only pop-up for installing the app, no more pop-up of VPN nor else.

Also, I tried RNDIS mode in dev.
That gonna lose the adb connection.

2018-05-24 17:24:32.041 INFO Relay: Relay server started

Hi,
I got that very same issue.
Android 8.1.0
adb:
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.39
Version 27.0.0-4455170

Using RUST version on Linux Ubuntu 16.04.

./gnirehtet run
2019-02-24 16:17:35.651 INFO Main: Starting relay server...
2019-02-24 16:17:35.651 INFO Relay: Relay server started

What shall I do to check what's wrong?

It's often due to a specific settings on your Android ROM which by default does not permit gnirehtet to start.

For example: #161 (comment)

But the option is different for many devices.

Check https://github.com/Genymobile/gnirehtet/issues?q=label%3Anodialog.

Should be fixed by f868180.
