Android VPN not adding routes (not working)

gb flag

I initially asked the question here but they asked me to ask at serverfault.

My office is using old Cisco VPN (not anyconnect). The one with pcf file, group preshared key and user authentication. I can connect and use it using shrewsoft for Windows or Mac's built in VPN. I can also connect to it using Android's built in VPN (IPSec XAuth PSK) but the vpn does not work. I initially thought that may be its due to routes not being properly added. But I tried manually adding a route and still it didn't work.

These are the new routes added in windows when the vpn connects

     10.50.12.244  255.255.255.255       10.173.0.1     10.173.3.208    100
     10.50.12.245  255.255.255.255       10.173.0.1     10.173.3.208    100
       10.173.0.0    255.255.252.0         On-link      10.173.3.208    281
     10.173.3.208  255.255.255.255         On-link      10.173.3.208    281
     10.173.3.255  255.255.255.255         On-link      10.173.3.208    281
       10.231.0.0      255.255.0.0       10.173.0.1     10.173.3.208    100
   119.160.81.225  255.255.255.255      192.168.9.1    192.168.9.103    100

On Android only a single route is added. i.e 10.173.0.0

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
10.173.0.0      0.0.0.0         255.255.252.0   U     0      0        0 tun0
192.168.9.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 wlan0

I tried adding ip route add 10.231.0.0/16 via 10.173.0.1 just like its added in windows route table but still I am unable to ping even 10.173.0.1 or any of the machines in 10.231.0.0 subnet. Any thing else I should check. any suggestions?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
