Greetings to all,
After three years of faithful service, i feel that my trusty Kaiser is ready to retire. It has served me well and survived a lot (including being dropped in sea water), but it is time to move on. I think i will just keep my Kaiser in the car as a gpsnav until tomtom is released for Android...
Anyway, I am almost set on buying the Desire, but i was wondering if someone could answer the following: I use Bluefire VPN (with group authentication) to access my work email. Is there something that would work equally well on Android?
Thanks for any information you might have.

The desire has a VPN set up option built in, I don't use it and don't know if it is what you are looking for, but it is worth checking out.

Thanks for responding buddy. I will try and find out more info if i can. Problem is that i cannot test it unless i get another android phone on my hands.
VPN on the desire does what it should. It makes it act as if you were connected to that network. You browse the web through it, you can retrieve exchange mail, etc. I have not yet found a way to access network computers though.
In order to access network computers, you can try Remote RDP from the market. There is a free version "Lite" with which I was not so happy. Since the exchange mail works fine, and since the screen is still too small to really work on the Desire like on a network computer (although it is way bigger than the screen of the Kaiser, I also had one), I decided not to invest into the pay version of Remote RDP and leave it. Actually, I don't miss anything.
Hi there,
does anyone know how to use VPN with a token? Have not found out....and currently I need it but is useless...
Also, can I use this VPN and its settings to get connected to "secret"/hidden network? My company uses a secret net, which the Desire does not find....but was thinkning that if I could set up correctly this net I can login into it (but we use RSA tokens).
Anyone who can help?
thanks

I realize that not having a touch screenwould make it more difficult to use, however I think it would be still usable. Does anyone know where to get a client for remote desktop?
htc s620
sure the best out cost money but its the best

Sorry, while that is cool, what I am looking for is the client for MS Remote Desktop. I need to be able to connect into my company through remote desktop.
I have used this one, and it works well on my Dash
http://www.shapeservices.com/en/products/details.php?product=tsm&platform=none
It was worth the cost to me.
jax, i just dl'd a trial version of what you posted & installed on my t-mobile dash. i was able to log into my work server and the mouse pointer appears, i can move it via the directional control but i can't click anything. am i doing something wrong?
n/m, i figured out how to get that working. as far as i can tell, this is the best remote desktop software available. would i be wrong in saying that? I tried term serv 6.0 & it was horrible. i couldn't do a thing.
Hi all,
Anyone have any software recommendations for a VPN client for HTC Artemis. Using Cisco VPN backend server but not sure if Cisco do a PocketPC version??
Any help?
Thanks
I tried bluefire for a while. Worked nice with our Cisco VPN 3005 concentrator.
You can download a 30 days trial on http://www.bluefiresecurity.com/.

the only available free vpn-client is www.securew2.org - runs great!
i cant get it to wotk on my orbit? any ideas?
not quite the same...
but a tool im finding very useful at the moment.
SOTI Pocket Controller Professional.
great for work that I can control my phone and look busy. when im actually texting away on my phone with my keyboard etc. fantastic tool. and now today I cracked my screen so I need to buy another one. £40 on ebay unless anyone knows anywhere cheaper?
My mate uses this tool too but he didnt pay for it as he got a serial from the net the illegal bugger. Its a good ap though and worth checking out some of the other aps they got. comes with free trial if your curious. has many other features too like a dos prompt to the phone and stuff.
but for now I can plug my phone on and it autosyncs and I can connect and use it. just hope battery doesnt fail or Ill be prompted for password before it will active sync (I think)... or maybe as noone could actually use my screen. I think its safe to remove all password security as a safety measure.
hey guys
it's a f***n' mess..
I just tried the RDProtocol to remotely control my laptop computer with my Touch HD - it doenst work. OK - don't hesitate - just try the alternatives. I did. LogMeIn. People around the web and this board mean, its quite easy to install.
So i installed the client for my laptop, registered with my offical mail account, rebooted my system and now?
First think - not TouchHD specific: My laptop pc is not shown on the list in my account management at logmein's webpage. Ok, perhaps i can handle it somewhen in the future.
The second thing is:
I visited "logmein.com/pda" with either Opera Mobile and PIE - nothing happens (because some people said, that there will appear a popup to install the mobile client)
However - i downloaded the client from someone in the board, installed it - but: I cannot found a program to start anywhere.
When i try to call the laptop and the listening LogMeIn-Server on port 2002 with my browser - nothing happens.
So... the only little thing i want is to remote my Laptop... but PITA - its not working. Can someone help, please?
thanks a lot for every hint!

Mate,...Logmein works fine with the native internet explorer on your device (press "start" tab and you can see the ie7 like logo on there and use that)... it does not work with Opera (didnt for me anyway).
The so called logmein client you refer to is no more than a plugin for internet explorer so if you have it instaled and using the internet explorer as i mentioned above you just got to the logmein home page and login and all will be clear to you
but i tried it with the native internet explorer (PIE - pocket iexp.)... ok, then i guess its a problem with my account, because i'm not able to add my laptop to the "computer list" at the logmein-webpage...
thanks anyway!
try logging into the webpage from the laptop itself
to add it (I think that's what i did)

It seems to work though I can't convince it to enter the password correctly when locked
But why doesnt RDP work for your laptop? Do you get any error messages? did you add a password to your account?
maybe it's easier to solve that problem instead of trying alternatives? i mean PIE is extremely slow..

also what Operating system is the laptop running ?
for example Vista home doesn't support incomming rdp without hacking
one of the vnc clones is a typical way around this.
and as Imperium said rdp won't work with accounts that have no password
and it has to be dumbed down for some rdp clients

I too had issues to start with, but a little playing around and it works fine. You have to use the "keyboard" input method, using small keys I find works fine. For me the " is mapped to shift 2 a quick think about that and I think logmein is using the local of the PC your controlling so in the UK shift 2 is ". BTW my regional settings are set to UK on the HD. Using the touch friendly keyboard (full qwerty) wouldn't work at all for me with the loginme control.
Hope that helps you!

Hi I know this sounds like a broad idea so ill get straight to the point.
I have a front door lock. I will lickley be getting the August lock or a Kevo. I have wireless lights and a NEST thermostat in the house also, the idea is that I want to create one app to control all my home wireless devices. I might use a rasberry pie which would act as some sort of repeater to link all my IR, RF, Wireless, devices to the Internet so I can use the app from anywhere in the world.
Is this possible? How difficult?
I found a device that can act as the controller to all the individual things in the house and links them to the internet however it uses its own app. any way to override the app with my own design?
Thanks!
Yes it is possible
We used to have a college thesis like this one back in the day. One solution that I can think of right now is you need to have the following:
1. Google App Engine to host a web app that connect your phone and a computer in your home
2. A custom mobile app that will communicate with the web app.
3. A computer / rasberry pi that will query the web app to know which switch to turn on / off. You'll need a USB relay to connect the computer with an appliance or a light bulb.
These are the three things I would start if I was to build one again. Good luck
Hey thanks for the reply.
That is reassuring. I will be communicating wirelessly to the lights however ( or the dimmable wall switch I should say).but that's the least of my concerns.
The main part is what you discussed. Any ideas how much I would need to pay someone to make the app? At there templates? I have some friend who are fantastic programmers however they have not touched apps b4.

No idea how much for the custom app but it cost me about 100 dollars (hardware and software) when I was in college to build the whole thing. Back then I only used SMS to communicate and not the internet. It would be fun building it your self.
If you want a ready made one, there are available ones in the market, and it would cost you about $50. Try searching for Belkin WeMo switch
Hello,
I have my own VPN located in the states.
I want to use it on my FireStick but I can not figure out how to set it up.
I checked the forums and most point to use a VPN app but I do not want to use a third party VPN, just my own.
It's a basic VPN, nothing special.
Is there any app for this or can it be done with just the firestick settings?
Sorry if there is already a post on this but I could not find it.
Best Regards
I found this: https://seo-michael.co.uk/how-to-install-vpn-on-a-firestick-ipvanish-vpn/
It covers both third-party and custom VPNs
Hope that helps!
Thanks for the link, but it does not seem to have instruction on how to use my own VPN, just pointing to IPVanish and other third party VPNs
Duh! You are correct! Helps to keep reading...lol

Yeah, I have been looking for months for a solution, can't find it!
I will NOT be defeated!!! That's something that should be known anyway!!
Ok! Check this out! https://vpntips.com/fire-tv-vpn-install/
Now, it does mention OpenVPN but that's only for the binary files the fire device needs, since it's not built in.
It does mention a third party again, but since you own your own server, you should know what information is needed for the remaining steps.
Give it a whirl and let us know the results! It just may spark an interest in creating our own home-brewed VPN Server on some old PC laying around!
Just FYI I found the fire stick hardware to be a limiting factor in connection speed. I was not able to get over 30 mbps on the stick with a VPN. I tried many different vpns and apps and it came down to simply the stick is not powerful enough to do the encryption faster than 30mbps.
A work around was getting a router that is hardware capable dedicated for the stick.
You can also buy a cheap router that supports VPN like I did.
Simply connect one end of a LAN cable to the WAN port of the new router and the other to any LAN port of your existing one.
Then set up the new router and configure the VPN settings.
Managed to get mine set up and running in less than 15 minutes.
Here's the router I bought, running fine whilst still receiving updates with security patches:

I use PIA just download the right version and side loaded seems to run great simple interface

I don't want to use a third-party VPN server. I have my own located in the USA and i'm in Canada, and I want to use that one.
I can't seem to figure out how to set it up on the device itself, but I could use another router....but I don't want all my devices to use VPN, just a few.
Anyone out there know? I'm stumped

Unfortunately, I can not change my VPN server and added it as an OpenVPN server.
I do not believe it will turn your server into an OpenVPN, it just needs some files that the device does not have natively.
At least, that's my understanding.
If this is not, then yes, I bow my head in defeat.
Take care!
Help!
I used the express VPN by following this trick. I would not but it must refer to my friend. This will not waste time. ExpressVPN is really such a great VPN.
Sideload Strongswan VPN client and use your own IKEv2 server with it
