When I got
the Nokia N8 I had previously showcased,
I found and installed an application that was called VPN. I installed
it because I was a total noob that time about VPN and I only know that
it can be used for
free internet.
But I cannot see anything that was added to my applications icons. I
never knew it before that it just adds another settings options on the
phone settings; called VPN Settings. But I never had made
it work, since then.
Some of my friends, who uses S60v3,
told me that they too got VPN application to
install
VPN settings capability on their phones. This includes my brother who
got a 6120c phone, as well as my classmate who got an E63 phone. We
still haven’t made it work.
Honestly, I never tried it. Why? Because seeing something that was far different from what I see on tutorials about
using VPN’s on android/iOS phones and devices, made me quit it on the first hand.
Yeah, symbian support for
VPN is a lot different to android/iOS as these devices suports OpenVPN connection, just like what we normally does in our laptop/pc, yeah for
free internet.
Then, I came to have read a post somewhere
in the internet world, a forum post that says that
“PPTN connections are blocked by Philippine networks, unlike OpenVPN. That’s why we cannot use it for free internet.”

VPN for Nokia N70?
The sad part, there seems to be no VPN
application for
symbian that supports OpenVPN. And that’s how I lost the urge to try
this so called VPN for symbian. Even though a friend of mine, named
Dhasniper, point me to a link on a VPN compatible for S60v2 devices such
as my Nokia N70. Up until now, I haven’t tried to use or try it. XD
If you feels like trying, just look for the VPN for your phone, for
v3 phones, try searching for SymVPN, its an app. If you want to get the
settings,
http://bfvpn.com/ seems to got it all for you.
To clear it out, this VPN for Nokia (Symbian) is working, but not for
Philippines. Actually, this VPN support was made for just VOIP access,
and not mainly for GPRS access. Then, you have to get those
policies files, which seems to me a very troublesome process. So I’m passing out of this mobile hype. XD
