Hi, i'm using a HTC HD2 and would like to use the web when I'm at university.
The wireless network there is protected by Cisco VPN, using hybrid-authentication ("mutual group auth."), which means that both - certificate and group password login - are needed to connect.
I haven't found a WM6.5 VPN client yet, which can handle this kind of connection.
From the administrator i got two files, the rootcert and a .pcf file with connection informations.
I just tested bluefire VPN client, but it hasn't been able to connect.
Thanks, sorry for my bad/German English!

Hi,
I'm currently on a HTC Trinity using Mary's 3.3.5 ROM and want to be able to connect to my universities WiFi network but to do so I need to use a VPN tunnel, anyone recommend a good PPC App that will allow me to connect to my universities VPN?
Cheers,
Mike

WM6 Pro includes both a PPTP & a L2TP/IPSec VPN client. This will work with most VPN routers & firewalls, however they may not be configured to support it. If you can connect using Windows 2000/XP's built-in PPTP or L2TP/IPSec VPN Client then you can almost certainly connect with WM6's.
A lot if VPN Routers & Firewalls are supplied with a 'free' Windows client that has the documentation geared around it. However most (if not all?) of these products will work with the native VPN client in Windows 2000+ (and WM5/6). I would try and stick with the L2TP/IPSec client but this requires some additional steps over setting up PPTP - on both the client & server (router). It is worth the extra steps in my opinion though.

I have the same problem ... I am not able to connect using the default VPN client ...
Hi,
There's a great review of vpn clients by Menneisyys in the Wiki. It's entitled:
'Access Your Desktop PC From Your Pocket PC!'
I'm sure you'll find it very useful because it would point you in the right direction as regards VPN tunnelling to your Uni's server.

HI!
Thank you for your reply, but this articles are about "Remote desktop" - like solutions for WM - based devises. Not for connecting to VPN.
Did anybody have had any success so far?
Any working 3-rd party VPN clients / Solutions?
Thank you in advance.
Dmitry.

Hi,
You might find Manneisyys' review very long but if you take your time to read it, you'll see that he talks about the various VPN clients and how they compare. VNC, VNC+, etc are all mentioned there.
Just take your time to read it.

Nice article, is the VPN working?
Do you have the WM6 VPN client working? Specifically the ActiveSync -> VPN -> MS Exchange functionality that was there under WM5?

Thank you for your answer!
But. Once again: the article talks about REMOTE CONTROL with the use of things like: RAdmin, MS RDP, etc.
This sofware - are remote desktops, so called VNC, not VPN clients in a classic way.
There is a little mess we get at the moment. (I've defenetelly got)
Let me describe in detail:
People need VPN here for many reasons, for me it is:
- to connect to some VPN through WIFI with our WM5 \ 6 device.
In my case- this is a public WIFI internet provider, which has a wifi coverage in the city.
Wifi is open PPTP. I need to type in a login \ pass on the web page I get, to start using the internet in current wifi session.
The ALTERNATIVE way to conect to internet - is to establish a VPN connection over the wifi.
I can successfully do in on the laptop.
With my UNI, WM5, AKU 3.5 - I can connect to VPN with the built-in VPN Client, but the first request to internet (via browser or Messaging send-receive) - drops my VPN connection, as it described here in the forum.
So: we need some software that can work.
I tried so far:
1. BlueFire VPN - just can't connect.
2. Antha VPN - just doesn't work.
I have heard thah on some other ROMs there is no problem with the built-in VPN client for PPTP, will try with some other WM6 ROMs later.
Any solution so far?
Thank you, kiwi992
Thanks to everybody!

Hi! The L2TP/IPSec is a special story.
It is widely discussed here at forum: xda-developers > General discussion > Networking >
Search for *VPN* string on this forum.
This is the: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=302520&page=2&highlight=*VPN* one of the success stories.
You need to obtain the certificate from the system administrators of your network. You may also have some "magic" URL in your campus network, where you can download the required certificate. This URL should point to the inranet web page of the web interface of the VPN server.
If your goal is to securely connect to some specific computer on the network, you should use one of the VNC programs: the VNC server part on the computer, and the VNC client on your device.
In any case - first check your certificate \ settings on, say, Windows XP laptop, connected through WIFI, first, then continue with the device.
Good luck!
Dmitry
VPN problems
I don't know if this issue is specific to my device (pharos gps 600 gps phone), or to windows mobile 6 which I'm running.
I can't connect to my vpn through wifi, the reason being is that I cannot associate any connections through the wifi card with the vpn info.
Wifi card doesn't show as a selectable modem in the modem tab next to the vpn tab in the vpn config. Only modems are cellular line modems, bluetooth, and one "hayes compatible com1" which is my usb I would guess.
Does anybody know how I might get around this?
Hi,
I try to establish a vpn connection to our company-VPN.
VPN Gateway is a cisco device. "Normal" connection via notebook with cisco vpn client works.
On my TyTN i installed ncp client. But i dont know how to configure the cisco settings.
On Cisco VPN Client:
- IP Adress of Gateway
- Group Authentication
- Transport IPSec over UDP
On ncp VPN Client:
- IP Adress of Gateway is easy to find
But i cannot assign the other settings. NCP Client has a lot of settings.
Has anybody success to establish vpn connection via windows Mobile to a cisco Gateway ?
Got it. Not the vpn Client was the problem.
The Blackberry connect SW (disabled!) prevented connection via vpn.
Deinstallation of BB Connect und vpn Client from Bluefire works fine.
What did you use as the VPN client to connect into the cisco gateway?
Do you use a RSA secureID token?
I am tring to get a VPN connection running from my HTC p3600i, WM6.
New VPN Client
Since a few days i use another VPN Client: www.ncp.de
Works fine. We do not user RSA Token. Only Group Authentication (free string to identify groups) and XAUTH - user/password.

Any ideas on a MPPE PPTP VPN via WM6? I have been trying to get this to work for months and can't. I am operating under the presumption that the VPN client in WM5/6/6.1 doesn't support MPPE and I am therefor up S#!T creek without a 3rd party dialer...
(It is a VPN connection to my work and yes as sorry as this is they still use an encrypted PPTP connection for all of their VPN connections. If they would just move on to something a LITTLE more current L2TP/IPsec I wouldn't be having any of these problems...)
But is there such a thing as a 3rd party PPTP VPN client for WM5/6/6.1 I haven't been able to find one...
TIA~

New(ish) Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client
Cisco have released an AnyConnect VPN client for Windows Mobile 5/6 (version 2.3.185). This is specifically targetted towards the ASA 5500 platform as the VPN server, however it should also work with IOS VPN devices (I am told?).
I haven't tried it, however I have seen it demonstrated and it all seemed to work.
Personally I prefer the integrated L2TP/IPSec VPN client and have posted previously on how to get this working with Cisco PIX 6.3, ASA/PIX 7.x and IOS devices.
Andy
AnyConnect VPN client will support only SSL VPN, that avaiable on Cisco ASA and IOS from 12.4(20)T or later.
Can I have two VPN connections to two different places on the same computer?
I work at two different medical facilities. I have a VPN connection to one and I'm trying to set up one for the other. When I'm in the New Connection Wizard and I pick "automatically dial connection", it makes me pick the medical facility that I already had on the computer to "automatically dial" when trying to create this new one.
cool vpn has given the users privilege to surf internet with freedom and security Thanks to VPN
Hi,
I have a HP Ipaq 210 series PDA with WM6 and trying to get OpenVPN to work for allowing me to connect the our university network.
After presenting my user data, OpenVPN says "connected" and displays the green symbol. Nevertheless my browsers (PIE, Opera Mobile) or any other internet app is able to "go outside".
Do I have to tell Windows or the browser to use the VPN-tunnel anyhow? I just don't know how to proceed.
Any information that could help me?
Kind regards,
roke
Can somebody please at least indicate how the configuration in the windows connection manager should be? ISP/work and so on? network device should connect to work/ISP? Configuration of OpenVPN: Use connection manager? On which network? Exclusive? ...
I just don't know what else I can do. The admins responsible for the VPN are bloody amateurs and don't know anything about windows mobile...
Help me please...
Regards,
roke
I have not tried openvpn on the ppc, but i run some openvpn connections for my company.
The openvpn server is configured to push the various parameters to the client, essentially that is the ip address ranges which should pass through the vpn and any DNS servers. (Excepted for bridged mode, where the ipaddress will be in the same subnet as the main site.)
From the Openvpn web site :"By default, when an OpenVPN client is active, only network traffic to and from the OpenVPN server site will pass over the VPN. General web browsing, for example, will be accomplished with direct connections that bypass the VPN." Why would you want it any other way?
What is it that is not working?
Can you access the sites and resources with the openvpn connection?
Can you access the sites on the openvpn server side by ipaddress?
Regards

Hi all,
I'm trying to configure the VPN "SecureClient" on my p3600.
I've installed the SecureClient and configured it.
From my phone I can connect to the company VPN. Using the Remote Desktop I can access the computers inside the network, so the VPN seems to work correctly. I've tried with UMTS and Wi-Fi network.
I've configured the Messages application to access the Exchange servers via IMAP4, because I don't have access to the OMA directory to access it via OWA.
Using the network via activesync when I'm in office, everything work correctly and I can download the emails. So no VPN.
The problem is when I try to access the Exchange servers via VPN. Seems that the Messages application doesn't route the traffic trough the VPN application like the Terminal Server.
I'm using WM6.1
Can someone help plz?
Thanks in advance.
Hi all,
I have been tinkering with connectivity into my corporate network and so far been able to get a connection to our Office Communicator server via ASProxy and a secure wireless connection. However I am looking for a solution that works across my 3G connection via a VPN.
I have looked at the market place versions of OpenVpn and I cannot get it to work with our Cisco Gateway. I got stuck at the tun and adb part, so not sure what I need to do at this point so though I would ask the experts on here ;-) There has been much work on a very important missing part which was a user authentication proxy, so the next bit for me would be a means of connecting to an IPSec/UDP Cisco VPN Gateway that works with my Domain username and then a fob generated password.
Any help from you guys would be most appreciated and perhaps I can share my ASProxy configuration for anyone wishing to get their's working....
Thanks

Hi,
you can't use an OpenVPN client to connect to a Cisco (IPsec) VPN server.
If you want to connect to an OpenVPN server then you can use OpenVPN Installer and OpenVPN Settings from the market.
If you want to connect to an IPsec server then use the built-in android VPN client or even some proprietary Cisco client from the market... (don't know about these as I only use OpenVPN)
Hi, thanks for the reply, however the built in VPN client will not work with our server. There is a Cisco anyconnect client that does connect, but we need a license for it which we dont currently have.
I will keep trying....
