Re: [PocketPC] - OpenVPN client for the PocketPC
Ok...
The basic connection is working over a slow 56K dial-up link from my iPAQ 5555 PocketPC to my ISP and back to my OpenVPN server. I am able to ping both of my XP Pro desktops and access shared files/folders using Resco Explorer through the tunnel. See the attached image...
I could not ActiveSync over the link or access my XP Pro desktop with TSC (ie. Remote Desktop) but that is probably because the dial link kept dropping out... 
I will test this from the local library, they have free wireless internet access, sometime this weekend (I hope) on a faster and more reliable data connection...
All in all though it looks good. The example PocketPC configuration file is on my small networking web page at...
»theillustratednetwork.mvps.org/L···ork.html
The configuration file is simply a modified version of the sample.ovpn file that was installed by the CAB installer. If someone wants to use it then you need to modify the server address/port number (note I normally use a high non-standard UDP port) and the Al.crt and Al.key file names. Obviously the files need to be on the PocketPC. I placed them, and changed the path in the config file, to the Program Files\OpenVPN\config folder.
The bottom line is that if you read the page carefully including Known Issues section you should be able to make this work on at least a WM2003 device.
As always...YMMV...
