Customised openvpn for IOS
Posted: Wed May 07, 2014 11:31 am
I am right now trying to build a customised openvpn client for IOS SDK 7.1 with all opensource dependant softwares.
While testing this solution in MAC OSX platform I found out that in order to create the tunnel interface it needs a
root access which unfortunately is not possible if the IOS device is not jail broken.
In order to overcome this problem I came across several discussion regarding openvpn and some other companies
viz, CISCO has been able to create customised VPN solution, which somebody referred to have utilised some additional
framework being provided by Apple under mutual NDA. I want to ask if any other company wants to access similar API
what are the best procedure to approach Apple and if those API are publicly available then I will be thankful if anybody
can point those out.
