iPhone VPN

[irishxlink]

For all of you out there that have an iPhone or any other mobile "idevice" And want VPN access I have found a way. The catch is, you have to have a jail broken device. If you do have a jail broken device and want the openvpn app on the phone you will want to check out www.guizmovpn.com it's about 4€. The evaluation period is a full week. But the price is worth it.

To configure the client you will need to follow the guide on the www.guizmovpn.com. The client info you will need to get from the wiki here http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/VPNLinux also you will need to hit the FAQ on guizmovpn to setup the login info for your hda.

If your interested and want some help setting it up let me know. Once I'm back from vacation I will setup a small guide for setting it up with everything you will need to know.

For anyone that is interested i have provided a link to a pdf guide i created. It might seem like a little to much or a hassle but its really simple. It just takes the time to read. http://home.mchsi.com/~irish-link/GuizmOVPN.pdf

My mind is a little random some times, so if you do want to set yourself up and have problems or any other issues with the guide let me know and i will do my best to clarify. If you do end up setting it up, let me know how it works for you.

NOTE I can now verify that it does in fact work with Jailbroken IOS4.

Very cool!

It would be great if we could put it in the wiki, like the other clients!

Thank you for talking about it !
From what I tested, the only thing that is not working yet on iOS4 is the icon in the statusbar.

Just for information, the "credientials.txt" is not needed anymore (since 0.9.8).
Simply replace "auth-user-pass credentials.txt" by "auth-user-pass", and you'll get prompt for username/password on connection.
The pass-file is still supported, but the prompt makes more sense for security...

Would love to get this software working. I am trying to get my iPad to connect to my Amahi HDA. I followed the directions provided by Irishxlink but am running into a snag---after I select the configuration I uploaded onto my iPad, the on switch moves right back to the off position---I checked the log and am getting the following error:

Running openvpn --cd
/var/mobile/Documents/Configurations/home --config
"._myvpn.conf"

Options error: You must define TUN/TAP device (--dev)
Use --help for more information.

Any idea what could be causing this?

Thanks!

There problem is that you have a temporary file ("._myvpn.conf").
You need to make sure it doesn't appear in the folder you zip.
This is usually created by a text editor when the file is opened.

Removed the ._myvpn.conf file, but am now getting the following:

"Options warning: Bad backslash ("\") usage in myvpn.conf:1: remember that backslashes are treated as shell-escapes and if you need to pass backslash..."

I checked the myvpn.conf file and there are no \'s

[GuizmOVPN]

Strange...
Can you send me the ZIP file (remove the credential.txt if you used it)

You can send it to support {at } guizmovpn dot com

Hey trebor, did you ever get it up and running. Was out of town for a little bit again so i hadn't checked the posts. I will updated the guide soon so its a little easier to follow and with the new information about the updates.
