Hi All,
I have used paying OpenVPN-based VPN relay services for long time, but most of them are being blocked from my country. So I attempted to find good idea.
I found an interesting website:
"PUBLIC VPN Relay Server" at
http://www.vpngate.net/. It seems to be hosted by a university. It supports OpenVPN protocol.
I tried to use OpenVPN Connect on my iPhone to connect to
http://www.vpngate.net and it works perfectly. While VPN is connected my iPhone's IP addr changed to the VPN relay server. And speed was excellent. (not so good for latency, maybe because of geological distance.)
The webpage insists all of the VPN relay servers supports OpenVPN protocol, SSL-VPN, L2TP VPN and SSTP protocol.
I tried L2TP on iPhone after OpenVPN. L2TP also worked fine.
The website refers
''Powered by SoftEther VPN Freeware'' on the footer. I found the SoftEther VPN on
http://www.softether.org/. I suppose it is derivative software of OpenVPN. Some screen-shots
http://www.softether.org/3-screens/1.vpnserver shows SoftEther VPN has a GUI manager program to manage OpenVPN. Anyone has ever tried SoftEther VPN?
