![]() The DD-WRT implementation of PPTP sounds a bit dodgy after reading the link you posted. I have independently confirmed encryption of PPTP on the RV082 with Windows as well (where you can disallow connection if there is no encryption supplied by the server). Yes, mine does connect at the Maximum encryption setting on PPTP, but yours may not. What I meant is that you should set yours to Auto when you were attempting the PPTP connection to make things easier- there are generally 40, 56, and 128 bit keys used for this type of VPN. My wording was odd in the post now that I re-read it, combining what I've done with what I was suggesting you try to do. The RV042 and RV082 actually have a PPTP server built in. I think you may be right about the WRV200, and PPTP passthrough won't help you directly (unless you're running Windows XP/Vista at home and want to set up a PPTP Server connection for your iPhone to connect to). If you have trouble trying PPTP can you supply pictures of the WRV200 configuration page? This means I have to type it every time I connect to the VPN, but no one can gain access to the various VPNs on my phone if I lose it. ![]() As an added safety measure, I do not fill in the password. On the iPhone I define a PPTP VPN, supply the external IP (or Dyndns / No-ip web address if you've set one up), set "Account" to be the user name you defined for the PPTP server, and leave encryption set to "Auto". On the RV082 it's as simple as enabling the PPTP server and defining user(s) and passwords. I believe the WRV200 supports PPTP VPN connections, so you might want to try that. IPSec with pre-shared keys is even more secure (and a must for my clients), but for my home access PPTP is good enough. For the RV082 I've had to resort to a PPTP VPN connection from the iPhone. I would agree with the iPhone Cisco IPSec client being very picky! I am able to do IPSec connections from my iPhone to genuine Cisco hardware (ASA 5505's for example), but not on the RV082 (Linksys/Cisco). Maybe I need a more expensive model like the LINKSYS WRV54G?: I'm so frustrasted by this and I don't want to pay a monthly fee for some VPN service. So how are you getting the $200ish RV082 router to connect? What settings are you using? Are there any guides online? Also, what is the "group name" setting iphone IPsec section? It would be awesome if someone could post screenshots of there router setup pages and matching screenshots from their iphone too (with IP address/shared key info blurred of course). The apple info pages aren't very helpful: Ĭisco says I need a super expensive VPN appliance with the latest software to use IPsec (sounds like iphone ipsec is very picky): Are you able to connect successfully using the RV042? If so, what settings are you using? I can't find any guides for connecting an iphone to a home vpn router anywhere! The trouble is, I can't get the phone to connect to the tunnel after trying all weekend. ![]() ![]() I purchased the cheaper Linksys WRV200 VPN router because I'm only using 1 EDGE connection when away so traffic stability shouldn't be a problem. CommanderData: Hopefully you or someone can help. ![]()
