Q1: Has anyone successfully connected to their HDA VPN w/ their iPhone/iPod Touch? Is it even possible?

Q2: How do you get CA approval for user certs that you create w/ the utility included in HDAConnect2? I don't know the commands to perform on the HDA.

Thanx.

there is no known openvpn client for the iphone.

on the other side of the equation, there were some users trying to get an iphone compatible vpn server. however, it was not completed. it proved to be hard. can you help?

cpg,

thanx for the reply. i haven't looked into it too deeply, but there should be some openvpn server configuration that would allow an iPhone/iPod to connect via the built in vpn client. i'll monkey around on my non-amahi box and see what i can come up with. that way, i don't have to worry about an auto-update wiping out my new config settings.

The VPN that Amahi uses right now is OpenVPN and there is not an OpenVPN client available for the iPhone/iPod.

The iPhone/iPod only supports L2TP, PPTP and IPsec.
For PPTP I have heard of people using PoPToP.
For L2TP/IPsec there is OpenSwan.
I am sure there are others but those seem to stand out.

It would be nice to have one of those implemented as nicely as OpenVPN is on Amahi.
