OpenVPN Connect license

Post by lechec » Wed Jun 19, 2013 1:30 pm

Hi,

Is it possible to get/buy a source code (or licence) of your iOS client - OpenVPN Connect? I'm investigating a possibility of creating similar iOS app (which uses OpenVPN technology, servers, etc.) but as a standalone product.
I realize that I'll need to sign a special agreement with Apple to use its private API, but first I'd like to know whether it's possible to reuse the code of OpenVPN Connect app.

Any feedback appreciated.

Thanks,
Pawel Leszkiewicz, Nomtek

At this time, the source is unavailable in any form. The hope is to release it at a near-future date.

The iOS client is based on OpenVPN 3 which has been publicly released:

However because of Apple's rules regarding private APIs, we are not able to publicly release the iOS-specific code that talks to the VPN API.
