VPN Not working

In my Samsung Galaxy phone I tried connecting the Phone via Wifi to the internet and it got connected. But the issue comes when, I wanted to setup a VPN connection with strongvpn.com to access skype Caller to make voip calls. I cannot access SKYPE in a normal connection it is blocked in my country.

I tried configurating VPN to but it is not getting connected. Tried PPTP, LT2P and LPTP secured. But no use. The VPN is not getting connected. There is no issue with the VPN connection as I am able to connect to the VPN using the same WIFI Connection.

Can anybody try this and let me know if there is any issue with VPN in Android ? Is there any other alternative ?

seems to be a well known issue
