VPNs

[beepsilver]

A lot of folks use non-business VPNs nowadays, and I believe more people will start using a VPN to avoid snooping. Anyway, thought I'd post that I was unable to use OpenVPN with the BI android app, but was successful with Hotspot Shield Elite. Just putting that out there....I'm not technical enough to know why.

Thanks for the info beepsilver. You raise a great issue when it comes to network security. Will take a look at hotspot.

I use OpenVPN on my android with android apps. works pretty good. OpenVPN has quite a few settings on both sides, server and client.
Make sure you tell it to forward ALL ports / traffic. I'll bet you can get it working.

If not you can always set up PPTP on your home router with 3rd party firmware, I know it's not as secure as IPsec but it's super easy to configure.

That is exactly what I use. Shibby's mod of TomaroUSB. The openvpn in that mod is great.
