Nexus S & VPN? - General Questions and Answers

Hey Everyone!
I wanted to understand VPN better.
If I set up a VPN on my Nexus S so that I can get to my Ubuntu machine what does this exactly mean for me? What Am I suppose to be able to do?
I'm thinking that if I load Ubuntu onto my Nexus S then I will be able to connect via VPN to my Ubuntu PC and access files and data.... But is that what I'm suppose to be able to do with VPN. ANd if so, what can I do if I do not load Ubuntu onto my Nexus S?
Thanks for giving this noob the soapbox.
Best,
Suomalainen

i know u can install say xp on ur mac using bootcamp and do it that way too. i know other though will tell u how to do stuff in osx. im pretty sure u will have to do bootcamp to flash to new roms but im sure u can sync with osx. i haven't used a mac yet but i plan on getting a mac book pro once i have saved up enough for one.
im sure others with macs will provide some feedback too soon.
Or just use VMware, install ActiveSync under windows there and forward your USB port to WMware. Don't know if it works under OS X, but USB forwarding works well under WinXP with VMware workstation 5/6.
Im interested in this as well. I dont want to install xp on my machine as I got the mac to get away from everything pc.
Mac users should try SyncMate from Eltima. Its free, but still in Beta stage. I got it to work just fine with a Kaiser.

Remote Desktop Mobile vs. Vista SP2

Hi Devs,
I really hope you guys can help me with this one, due to I have no idea whats going wrong:
Since the upgrade to Vista SP 2 I am not able to access my PC any more via remote desktop mobile.
Accessing Vista SP 2 PC through my notebook works well from both, LAN and WAN side.
But as soon as I try to access it via Remote Desktop Mobile on my touch HD or my TG01 I receive a connection error and I have no idea why.
I would be very happy if you could help me to find a solution for that due to I really like to boot my PC from anywhere in the world an access my sweet home desktop.
Thanks and with best Regards

Htc sync? I have a nexus one and I've saw that it's not compatible.
Any help please?
HTC Synch has nothing to do with SSH. You must have an ssh app for android and ssh services running on pc. may need root as well, not 100 on that though anymore.
Something that is a little bit different, but may be of interest to you... You could always try out teamviewer? I use it on Windows and connect with my Sensation and it works a treat. Also has Linux support.
Unfortunately I cannot post links just yet, but just Google (or Bing ) 'teamviewer'.
Google "ssh passwordless login", then figure out how it applies to your software. My setup uses OpenSSH on both Androids and PCs; Dropbear and ConnectBot is also possible, as is a sshd for Android..

download sshdroid in your android, then use any SSH application on your PC.. (e.g. WinSCP)
To do this without entering a password, you would use an unprotected private key. I do not recommend this.
You'd also need to add the associated public key as an allowed key on the PC.

internet VPN on Surface RT?

I heard that some users can't use VPN for something called Cisco, I don't know what it is. But I am currently working in China and they have The Great Firewall which doesn't allow me to use youtube, google half assed, and a VERY slow and sometimes not working Gmail.
I use a VPN from the States to get around this on my laptop. Can I do that with the Surface RT as well?
I remember the VPN company had me download something to run my VPN but I don't know if I actually use it or just use the windows setup. I have Windows 8 developer preview still on my laptop.
thanks,

Hello,
"Standard VPN" connections work like a charm on Surface... but if you need to install any aditional software it won't work as you can't use standard x86 apps.
hope this helps.

Hi, I am using Astrill VPN provider for simillar reasons and although it also comes with a client that allows you to select a server to connect to, they have a list of servers on the web page that you can use with the standard VPN in Windows RT - it works like a charm, no client needed!
I don't know if I need to install that or not. Because I never actually open that file to run the VPN. I just start it up through Windows using the address and password they give me. I don't know what I am doing but somehow it works and I can access youtube.
Thank you!

I'm new in the forum and can't post links, but you can go to wiki dot astrill dot com and search "astrill setup manual for windows 8" you will find how to do it there.

[Q] PC remote on more than one PC

Hi all,
I got the 905 and I am happy with it but I have a question.
Is it possible to use the PC remote software on more than one PC? I am unable to do so and have to remove the agent and install it on a different machine to be able to use it.
Got sick of that and returned to using 2X Client
Thanks.
