Remote desktop client

Hello guys,
i'm looking for a decent RDP client.
I have tried the WM6 RDP from finster869 but i can't connect to any server.
I have tried also the ms_rdp_v6.5.cab downloaded somewhere in this forum: this one works but once switched to full screen i loose the keyboard and i can't digit anything.
I don't understand why Toshiba has not delivered a such important app

It's ridiculous, I've tried finster but it just doesn't work. The only one that works for me is MochaVnc as the viewer on my phone and I use ultraVnc on my desktop as the server, but I think at the moment, I've only been able to get it running over wifi. If someone manages over 3G, please please let me know.
But I haven't got a clue why finster doesn't work. Wanted to try it out .

If I'm not wrong, This kind of software only works in a intranet , so only WIFI is available as wireless connection (no 3G possibility)
I use VNC server (on PC as Mobile). If any interested I can link the apps.

the ms_rdp_v6.5.cab works on 3G too. The problem is that full screen mode hides the keyboard.

Any steps to get it working?
It works on 3G to? Compared to what other software do you mean? I've tried the microsoft one and the finster, but just never connects, even in wifi mode. I find it completely useless. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
I'm going to holiday in a few days so would love to get this working on 3G

I have tried the free RDP client zaDesktop 0.98b: same problem of Microsoft RDP.
It connects perfectly to the servers using the 3G/HSPA connection but when the application goes full-screen, the keyboard icon goes away.

have you tried Remote Touch? It is very simple ... you can try it with wlan very quick ... it just takes 5 minutes to download, installing and testing. If you want to control your PC via 3G you just need an no-ip Account for an DNS address.

I cannot install 3rd party unauthorized services on the business servers. RDP is the official method to remote access the servers.
I have choose a Windows mobile device because of this; i could not image that RDP on TG01 was such a pain.
I can't correctly access a Microsoft server platform with a Microsoft OS phone and a Microsoft application and probabily i will have to use 3rd party software to resolve the problem. In fact, i am going to try RDM+: a commercial software, availiable for WM and many other platforms included Android and iphone.
What a big defeat for Microsoft (and Toshiba too).

RDP worked for me
For me RDP works without any problem. I use Nokser's newest build from 30.05.2010. I think it is a Version of Finster pre-installed.

Here you are: VNC® Server Free Edition 4.1 for Windows
The ZIP is the VCN server,to be installed in your PC
The cab is the VCN viewer, to be installed in your TG01
On viewer, you have to write the IP and port in this way (example): Server: 192.168.1.11:5901

Possible to port ICS VPN client?

I have numerous issues with the PPTP VPN client included with Froyo and Gingerbread, rendering it virtually worthless.
My understanding is that the ICS VPN client actually works. It supposedly allows traffic through the VPN while being able to specify a different gateway so that one can be connected to the internet on the phone while passing PPTP traffic.
Would pulling the APKs related from ICS be possible, or is it much more complicated than that? I don't want to buy a Galaxy Nexus just so that I can use VPN properly.
(I'll actually post my findings with Galaxy Nexus VPN functionality when I get a chance to try it out in the Verizon store.)

Have you tried the Samsung Anyconnect app? It doesn't list the Charge but that may be due to it coming out pre-update. I was able to connect wirh it although thats all I tried to do.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk

I host my own PPTP server with DD-WRT.
I don't deploy a Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance system. I thought it might be possible for the Anyconnect app to hook up to my VPN anyway, but it doesn't seem to work.
I confirmed that the ICS VPN client does function properly. I wonder if porting the ICS client to the Charge is possible. Could it be as simple and copying the APK?

Can Anyione Assist With VPN Set Up?

Hello everyone,
Currently my lappy uses Nortel (XEAN) and a grid card to connect. I called my company support but they are not interested in helping me.
At this writing, I have been lappy-less for the last 3 weeks. There are 2 tasks that I cannot perform and this is one of them.
I was going to try Cisco AnyConnect ICS+ from the store and see how that goes.
Any and all comments or assistance is welcomed!
Thank you and Regards,

would like to know how you progress
We also uses VPN to connect with home pc/laptops to the office but I would LOVE to use my note 10.1 instead.
So, if you make any progress, please let me know.
THanks

I certainly will. As of this hour all dead-ends... nothing will work, I did manage to convince them to give me the group ID password but no luck in connecting.

If you want a home personal server, and have a spare android device lying about, you could try "servers ultimate" from the playstore with "openvpn"by openvpn, from the playstore, i sucessfully tested a connection between my tab and my phone, server on the phone, client on the tab, simple enough, servers ultimate after setting up the vpn server profile, it lets you export a file with the settings needed for openvpn, it was quite easy to setup.
I dont know if this is what your looking for, and im pretty sure the secure connection was over network only, as im still to unknowledgeble on these things, all i know is, apparentky there is a way to put an "internet" ip address on a vpn server profile, so that if you connect to a public wifi network like you find in stores, you can vpn to your android device at home acting as your vpn server, making an encrypted connection through the public wifi, to your android vpn, and then your vpn server would pass through YOUR home internet, while protecting your connection on the public wifi from any prying eyes who may be using apps that sniff the network data, i believe, like the apps on android that "sniff" out facebook sesions....for instance, not something i use personally
A benefit to this is that your not paying an unknown vpn to pass a "secure" connection through THEIR systems in between, you control, that in between, or at least, better control, over your own private property......i dont think its able to spoof ip address, if thats what folks might be looking for, but the servers ultimate app is pretty extensive, and my knowledge withese things is limited, so for those looking, who knows what their doing, might be worth checking it out (i wouldnt mind a small setup guide, if someone manages that)......if it makes a difference, your also able to setup a proxy server, although i never did figure out how, hell, aint to sure what it does ...........
well, hopefully this helps

[Q] Turn old android phone into VPN server

Greetings! For some time, I've been wanting to setup a VPN server at home so I can "dial" in from Wi-Fi hotspots out in town and secure my traffic.
My first thought was to build a VM on my desktop and leave it running 24/7.
A low-powered solution might be turning my old Android phone into a VPN server.
Any thoughts on how to accomplish this? I have a Nexus One that is just laying around....

This is exactly what I am looking to do, but in a little different sort of way.
I want to leave my old phone hidden in the rafters connected to a wifi from a haircutting place next to where I work. Then tunnel to the old phone from my various other devices encrypting my data through their .IP. I all ready use their wifi for all my torrenting needs but think that not having to be there navigating on the phone would be nice

did u tryed app droidvpn?

It would be great to setup a vpnd on our Android. I'm looking for the same solution.
DroidVPN is a VPN client, we are looking for a VPN Server on Android.

Any Luck with the attempt? I've also been thinking of the same thing.

We just released Servers Ultimate which in the latest update allows you to turn your Android device into a VPN Server
So now you can leave an (old) android device at home and connect to it when you're on the road. Have a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1829334
Let me know what you think of it!

Bump... Any other options on this?

It's a bit expensive just for VPN server (and it has too many servers)... I would rather have one app that does only one thing...

Guys, and what about vpn server like on linux? As for me I'm trying to make vpn server available from mobile network, maybe with the help of some messengers (to send new conf file as host ip has been changed). Any ideas? Or, maybe someone tries this?

I installed meefik's LinuxDeploy (found from Google Play) to get Linux running; and I do not have luck with setting up VPN server (OpenVpn setup from Jonah Argon) yet.

Here is the same. In my second apartment the internet site is not block and it wise to keep my old android phone in my second apartment and install VPN server. and installing VPN client in my home pc, office pc, and even other smartphones. In this way i will able to access all web sites. any idea how i can accomplish this.
One of idea i though would be small notebook that running windows and installing VPN server in it such as Sony Vaio VGN-P11Z/R

I turned a rooted Android phone into a VPN server by using the Linux Deploy app and UNIX tools "busy box app" then running CentOS on Linux Deploy. I installed SoftEther VPN Server on CentOS through SSH on the phone.
I wrote about it in a forum. If you google "Turn a flashed to verizon phone into vpn server" it will come up in Aspkin forum and you can see me work through it.
This way is 100% free and SoftEther will tunnel straight through a firewall using port 443 unlike any paid app so you can leave the phone hidden anywhere connected to WiFi and as long as you use SoftEther Client and the DNS host name to connect to the server. It wont work if you use a openVPN or L2TP/IPsec client without opening ports on the router of the wifi connection, or the server IP address (which would be a local ip if connected to wifi hidden somewhere).

VPN woes

Basically there's two things I'm trying to accomplish. The first thing is to be able to SAFELY access my pc when I'm not at home. The second is to be able to log onto my local network from the outside world and make it look as if the traffic originates from there.
At home on my local wifi I often access my PC using Remote Desktop. I'd like to safely be able to do the same thing from a phone or external PC. I'm under the impression that the best way to do this was with a VPN but the precise what and how eludes me. My best current guess is to setup a VPN Server on my wifi router but does that mean any generic VPN software I install on my phone can get through? I'm really just guessing but possibly this will accomplish both things I'm trying to do.
Additionally I could also setup a VPN Client on the wifi router which would provide VPN protection to any device logged onto my lan without having to install anything on every tablet in my household.
Added to this is that I've used Kaspersky antivirus for over 20 years on my pc's and VPN just became free with the package so I've used the 3 licenses I get on my PC and my and my wife's phones. Hopefully I can use my Kaspersky VPN to access the DDNS that I got free from ASUS to complete the circle.
It should be clear from this discussion that I'm grasping at straws, I've googled a bunch of confusing and potentially conflicting information along with everybody and his brother that wants to sell something VPN related.
I'm also posting this on the Windows 10 Help forum as here and there is where I get most of my technical advice.

As far as I know, there are many models of home router with built-in VPN server capabilities. Check your router's manual at first.

I'm goimg forward on the basis that all I need to do what I want is the Router's built-in server, along with an Asus provided DDNS, to allow VPN connection from my outside devices and the Router's built-in VPN Client to give VPN protection to all devices within my local wifi. I bought the router with this capability in mind as well as speed improvements over my old router. It's the Asus RT-AC86U router and it "should" do the above as well as allow externally connected devices to act as if originating from my home system.
It may take me a bit to do this but I'll report back once I have an answer.

Thanks for the response. I looked at a number of how to guides, the one I'm going forward with is how-to-easily-access-your-home-network-from-anywhere.

I have an issue with setting up the VPN Server Client on my router (Asus RT-AC86U) that I have a service call in with Asus for, so the VPN Client side is on hold for a bit.
I was able to successfully configure the VPN Server (at least the OpenVPN protocol section) and setup a DDNS. From what I read this should be sufficient to allow an external device to login to my home system but I've seen no guide that describes this final step.
Do I simply use Remote Desktop on the external device to logon to my PC through the DDNS while the VPN (in OpenVPN protocol in this case) is enabled?
That would mostly work but what I really would like would be for the external device appear to be on my local wifi and not on the local PC itself. How do I do that?
Can anyone point me in the correct direction?

I did just find another piece of information the may apply here. In one of the guides I read the following:
"save the OpenVPN configuration file which will be used by the remote device to access your router."
There was a client.ovpn file generated during the router's VPN Server setup. The above sentance implies that I need to somehow get the VPN software on the external device to use this file and then I'll be able to logon to my home system. Can anyone shed more light on this?

*** Update ***
I was able to setup the OpenVPN Server on my ASUS RT-AC86U router and it does allow me to safely access my home LAN from anywhere. I can login to my home router's user interface and use Remote Desktop to login to my PC. Also since the VPN changes my IP address to that of my home system everything works as it would if I was actually there.
The one thing I haven't been able to do is access my pc's shared drive.
Anyone have any clue how to fix that?
Finally I also tried to setup the VPN Client on the router to access the VPN Server. ASUS said you should be able to do that but it results in an IP conflict that their tech support hasn't yet solved.
The benefit of using the router's VPN client is that any device on my local wifi is automatically protected by a VPN without installing anything on the device. The point is somewhat moot since all each device needs is a free app and the config file created by the VPN Server.
I did look at setting up a VPN Server on my Win 10 PC, but it looked like too much work and too much chance of messing something up, to attempt.
