Windows Phone 7 VPN?

Ive not played with the emulator, but do we know if phone 7 will have a working VPN client this time?

No, there won't be VPN support built in. You can't expect it from third parties either because socket manipulation APIs are missing.
It will come later but no time frame is known.

Thanks for a answer on this.
It does seam crazy that MS are pulling things out that people have wanted working for years.
Yet its a basic option in win7 desktops.

They aren't really pulling things out they just haven't been able to put it in yet. All these things will come and when they do it will be done in a good way and not just a thrown in feature. Give it some time.

I use Astrill VPN services since i live in china and facebook & youube are blocked here
I wrote a mail to Astrill support asking them if they would offer a service for WP7 and they replied:
"If windows 7 phones support L2TP\IPSec.
You will be able to use our service with it."
does windows phone 7 support L2TP\IPSec??

Hello,
Any news regarding VPN on Windows Phone 7 ?
I need it to connect with my company email adress.
I would be grateful for any help
As I know there is no option to install any VPN app which works on WP 6.5 ?

Back in January there was a report which said Windows Mobile 7 Business to be released in 2010. And WM7 Media to be released in 2011.
http://www.pcworld.com/article/187178/windows_mobile_7_to_get_two_versions_report_says.html
The report was wrong. However, I cannot imagine that Windows Phone would not have VPN, Sockets, IP Sec, IE9 Mobile, voice satnav etc by September 2011The one thing I don't expect is full multitasking of third party apps.
Windows Phone is aimed at people who don't want to deal with geeky stuff. They want something easy to use and which covers all the basics. And which is beautiful and has beautiful apps. WP is influenced by iOS but is actually competing with Android. WP is a much better choice than Android for the none geek. Which is 98.0% of humanity.

So all this issues that have been filed with MS answers support forum (or whatever it is called) is coming from Android users?
You gotta be living in Ballmer's ass thinking that.

has any one read anything about VPN support in the meanwhile?
it's the only thing that i miss on my phone at the moment... well and VOIP would be nice

from all the things I have read, it seems vpn is still missing from winpho7.
I also live in China and need a vpn. I bought an HD7 and felt sad when I had to return it a few days later. It is a beautiful os, but not at all good for foreigners in China.
-Caid.

Totally agree! VPN us important and Skype is also missing... I found though that is not that tragic with the mango update coming in the end of the year all the problems should be solved
Sent from my OMNIA7 using Board Express

The Skype part missing will be fixed. I have not seen anything official on missing VPN being addressed.

It would be nice to have VPN support but it is apparent that WP7 is getting better with time.

:: like me... T_T am a foreigner in china and just bought mah win7 htc hd7 but it seems useless since i can't even access fb and tweeter on mah fone (( even multimsgr for win7 not applicable for mah fone..

anyone knows whether MANGO will support VPN?
I read in a website that there is still no VPN support - can this be??

If there's no VPN support when the official update arrives, whether it is app-based or built-in, I'll need to buy another phone. VPN is essential to log in to our universitys network.

I suppose microsoft does not want our private data tunneled. All must go through their servers...

vpn probably won't come until the update after mango.. supposedly that release will be more focused on enterprise features.. I'd be surprised if vpn is missing from that list.

most of iranians people Do not buy Windows Phone 7 devices.. because our stupid islamic goverment Filterd many websites.. facebook. twitter... youtube... g+ ... and many other sites...
so we need VPN function... all OSs have VPN... android ... wm6.5 ... iphone ... and blabla...
i dont know why windows phone 7 dont have VPN !!! it is very ridiculous

Hello Yep you are absolutely right in saying if there is no VPN why would organizations use it for their email. But there is more to it,
Organizations won;t use it for their email/
They won't recommend their employees to have Windows Phone 7 Smartphones as they won't be able to have secure remote access with out VPN.
Netizens in Censored Countries won't use it as it won't allow them to bypass censorship
Heavy Hotspot users won;t use Windows Phone 7 as they can't VPN for secure WiFi Sessions.
And there is a lot more if they don't support VPN.
I wonder why they haven't decided to roll out the update with Windows Phone 7.5 Mango. This will fail the product in corporate and Privacy Oriented Users for sure.

[Q] Future G Tab developement

I am still new to using the android system and just bought the viewsonic g tab and I must say that this is a real good toy and has some oportunity for future developement. Looking at the replacement ROMs they all seem like all you get is a phone instead of a true replacement operating system that acts like a computer.
Is there anyone working on something like windows 7 for these or even anything close?

That is the android operating system. The release of honeycomb will give you a more tablet look but what is it you want to do that you cant with this OS?

I have a convertible Windows 7 Tablet PC. Most days it sits at home, even more so since I got my G-Tab. Why? Because it is not designed to be used with a touch interface, and doing things that SHOULD be simple like rotation can become a big issue. Plus if you want one that runs all day, you are going to add an extended battery with all sorts of extra weight to go with it.
FWIW, Windows won't run on an ARM chip or Tegra, so Windows 7 won't be ported to the G-Tab. You might (?) be able to get Ubuntu or another Linux running if you want the desktop experience, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
As has already been pointed out in the thread, there is very little that you could do in Windows that you can't do in Android - and most of those things are because of the physical limitations of the device, not the OS.
My .02 worth anyway.

Yeah I hope we get honeycomb ,that would be great.as for windows 7,I love it on my pc not on my tablet.Android rocks you can even send a fax with filesanywhere for free through the internet!
Plus ive already invested in skinomi and a cool android decal.

I thought allot about this last night after playing with the GTAB and downloading a few free aps. I'm not knocking the android system maybe just the way it's current UI seems geared more to people used to smart phones. Maybe that's the whole idea and I'm not getting it as I'm too used to using a computer and don't use a smart phone. Hopefully Honeycomb will make it be more of a tab and the update will be made available to current GTABs like mine.
I still think the thing is great for surfing the web while waiting for my coffee to brew in the morning and I found a app to let me open office documents to I should be able to use it for some of my work files.

Honeycomb may give you less of a phone experience. You could also install the GAdam rom for more of a tablet feel

I would love a bi modal interface. One interface that works as a tablet when the machine is in tablet mode and another where it goes into netbook mode when it's plugged into a dock. This would definitely make the machine more useful for me. I could do some remote development on it (via ssh) or download a pdf document for reading on the couch or something.
I was really hoping for something like meego to take off and perhaps offer something like this. Oh well....

I just read that SAP is working on a BI for android . What would be great now if a usable VPN client and Lotus notes could be used.

windows 7 is been ported to tegra 2 says CEO of microsoft(i read somewhere). But it will be a long time before all the drivers are up and running.

Hmmmmm........now that they are with a phone company maybe we'll see something happen with tab
development for dual usability, work and personal use?

yes, M$ is back in the business of porting their primary OS to other CPU archs, but it'll likely die again as noone will want to hobble their devices with a windows version.
In any event, you realize that you won't be able to run the vast majority of windows sw right? (i.e. it'd be essentially useless unless you actually like windows look & feel...) It's ALL been compiled for x86 arch, and I find it unlikely that ARM version of many apps would ever be available unless something highly unlikely happened and windows for ARM actually got off the ground...

Hello all,
I find the gtab is much more than a toy. With my gtab I can access my company's network via VPN. My gtab can RDP to Windows servers at work. I can also access NTFS file shares on these work computers with my gtab. Access to my work LOTUS notes email and calendars is through IMAIL via the gtab and Dolphin HD browser. Any Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, or PowerPoint presentations I have for work can be read, modified, or created on my gtab. Reading PDF files is a snap on the gtab.
Whenever it is time to read the latest Preston / Child's or Dean Koontz novel I download it from Barnes and Noble and read it on my gtab. I can access my home network and stream media files from my NAS to my gtab. My gtab can access the Internet over wifi at home, work, restaurants, stores, anywhere there is a wifi hotspot. This includes my rooted myTouch 3g's ad hockey wifi hotspot. My gtab can play several audio and video formats. If I am in the mood for radio or TV I can stream full episodes or albums from Internet TV or Internet radio sources to my gtab.
My gtab has system tools that can be used to update its operating system kernels and ROMs, access and manipulate filesystems, and backup applications and data. I have utilities to monitor and benchmark the processes that run on my gtab. I am able to connect to my personal Windows 7 laptop or myTouch 3g phone via Bluetooth connection and access and manipulate their files and directories from my gtab.
I use my gtab as a remote control for my XBMC application on my Windows HTPC. My gtab can use the GPS on my phone to create a larger screened GPS. Sometimes I play Angry Birds on my gtab.
My personal calendars and task lists are kept current and meaningful with several of the calendaring and task apps available for the gtab. Current weather and news is but a click away on my gtab. Banking, credit card, and financial apps on my gtab let me monitor my finances. Shopping apps on my gtab allow me to peruse online catalogs and order merchandise from the likes of Target, Kroger, Best Buy, Amazon, and Newegg. I am able to access insurance records and medical records for my family / pets with apps on my gtab.
These are a few of the little things that I do with my gtab. I find the gtab to be quite versatile and consider it to be a quite powerful little ( size wise ) computer powered by the Android 2.2 Froyo OS. My gtab seems quite stable and I am able to address any issues that arise with the aforementioned system utilities.
Thanks to the incredible support that the gtab gets from the XDA developers and the Android app development community I believe the gtab has matured beyond toy status and has arrived as a useful tool equal to the challenges of everyday life.

Buy a Surface Pro?

I am the network administrator and we at work have not found a way. We will have to wait for Juniper to create a download for RT. I tried several ways to make it work no joy.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium

Many VPN clients require a third-party driver installation, so even the current jailbreak hack (which only allows untrusted user-mode software, not drivers) wouldn't allow porting the client even if it were open source. If it's closed source, there's nothing that can be done from this end without wayyyy more reverse engineering than anybody here is likely to bother with.

Juniper are currently developing a Windows Store app for Pulse. Microsoft were late in releasing the VPN APIs to developers, but we can expect to see things like Cisco and Checkpoint too.

Glad to hear it. I'm interested in these VPN APIs; one of the limitations of the current "jailbreak" hack for RT is that we still can't install drivers, which makes it impossible to install current VPNs (and many other pieces of software). If there's a way around that, it would be awesome.

AlanJC put forth new information. I'd like to know the source of his info...

It was quite simple really, if you're registered with their support forums, you can ask, and we did.
It's going to be a Windows Store app, and will work on Windows 8 and RT rather than just a downloadable exe to install under the desktop from what we can make out.

[Q] WD MyBook Live APP for Windows RT

Hi Guys,
I have been a long reader of the forum, but never actually posted, so here is my first! (Apologies if it's in the wrong section, I have done a search and as its my first post, I'm restricted as to where I can post)
Recently I purchased a Western Digital MyBook Live (3TB) and have it synced to my Windows Phone (7.8) the other half's Galaxy Note (running Jelly Bean) and her iPad 2, via our router - Great!
I have the 32GB Surface RT and there doesn't appear to be a WD app other than WD2GO which only lets you connect to the MyBook when connected to the home network. It actually states this is a limitation in the release notes.
Has anyone come across a way of accessing the content on the MyBook from an external network, without being connected to my home network? So if I'm round a family members home, at work etc...
Many thanks!
Bassmonkey

Sorry, but bumped.

If anyone can...
I've the same problem, if anyone figure out how to access the unit from a remote connection please, share here the workaround...
In any case this limitation on surface rt is because the unit doesn't support java, and the w2go from WD run on Java . I think this iusse could be bypassed using ftp access, by till how I'm not able to setting Up a connection cause my isp (Fastweb) has limitations using public IP
[email protected]
Edit: in the link below you can find a way to bypass the RT limitations using it like a pro. Unfortunatly I'm not familiar with Windows Azure and can't try this solution. If you or someone has success using this solution, please, share it.

[Q] Any hope for Silverlight on Android

I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 WiFi GT-N8013. I would like to be able to watch live television coverage from CNN. Presently, they (CNN and Google) say that their app does not work on this device and they will not advise when, or if, this problem will be resolved.
Looking for an alternative solution, I turned to some apps that still run Flash Player, such as the UC Browser. I thought that I was getting close to getting the CNN website to load within UCB (as it was mimicking a desktop version), until it requested that I install MS Silverlight. Well, so much for that.
It seems that there is no equivalent to running Silverlight on the Android platform. Apparently, some time ago, there was a Moonlight project, but that appears to have come to a permanent halt based upon what I believe to be threats of litigation from M$.
So my question is whether this project may have come back to life in a different format? I can't imagine that I am the only GT-N8013 that has an interest in using the device from time to time to watch current events on CNN (or other live media cable networks). It seems to work fine on My Droid Razr Maxx XT-912, however I assume that it works there because of also being on the LTE network.
Does anyone know what the future holds for getting Silverlight working on Android?

Silverlight is a dead platform for most practical purposes. Even netflix is working to switch from it. I dont think that anyone would bother to build an Android port for it.

It's closed source from Microsoft and mono can give you a try the .net framework but not silvernight.

Like a workaround - you can use RDP or VNC and use a "normal" computer for opening silverlight pages...

it's a year later, and Microsoft is still reluctant to give an honest answer. However, if you go to their developer web site msdn.com and click on "I build Android apps", they take you to a page that tells you why and how to port your app to Windows 8. "Windows 8 is the fastest-growing mobile OS. Your app belongs here".
In other words, Microsoft considers *Android* to be a dead platform. Silverlight is closed source, so only Microsoft can port it. I think it's safe to say the chances of them changing their minds and porting Silverlight to Android after all, when they're taking such a bath on all Windows 8 platforms, is .... zero.
Is anybody still using Silverlight for web apps in 2013? Maybe this thread is moot.

I, too, am nneding Silverlight for my tablet. I am in a RN program that makes us test/quiz on a program called ATI that requires Silverlight to be able to answer and read test questions. I wish I had an answer for this. I know that if someone did figure this out that a great bounty would come from it. I would definitely donate.

acebeace had the best advice. Assuming you have access to a Windows PC, you can run the Silverlight app on the PC but use your tablet as a remote control: go to Google Play and search for "remote desktop". Note that there may be additional challenges if the PC and tablet aren't on the same local network; there are paid apps that handle this better. It's clear that Google is working towards their own version: see Chrome Remote Desktop.
If you don't have access to a Windows desktop, you might be able to find an online browser that supports Silverlight.
Finally, I've never tried this, but Onlive Desktop claims to have an Android app that connects to a virtual PC desktop in the cloud. Their browser was supposed to support Silverlight, but it's not clear if it actually does. Fortunately, there's a free trial.

Re-compiling Pipelight
Hi,
I have just been reading about a open-source project called pipelight and just thought that this could be re-compiled and used with ARM based devices (such as tablets).
If this is posible then you could have silverlight on tablets, alternatively re-compile moonlight (only problem with moonlight is that there is no DRM support).

Pipelight uses Wine to run Silverlight on Linux based OSes. While there is some work being done to run Wine on Android, the binaries for Silverlight would still need to be rewritten for ARM. These aren't open source, I think it's way too simplistic to think those could be just "compiled" for ARM.
Unfortunately, I think we'll just have to wait until HTML5 completely supports DRM and the content providers make that switch. It's very irritating to see how they've chosen such a biased and proprietary system at the moment.
