Nokia VPN – To set up a VPN connection for a phone running Symbian OS, like Nokia, is a difficult task. The problem is that Nokia does not provide a PPTP VPN client for their phones, they have an IPSEC client that is quite complicated. Further, a handy solution is SymVPN from Telexy Networks, the only PPTP VPN client for Nokia phones and is available as a free 14 day trial version and cost €24.99.
SymVPN 1.00 allows you to create a regular Access Point (from the Symbian OS point of view) that can be used in an ordinary manner by any appropriate application that requires an Internet connection.
SymVPN is compatible with the Series 60 3rd Edition phones based on Symbian OS 9.1:
– Nokia E-Series: E51, E60, E61, E61i, E63, E65, E66, E70, E71, E90;
– Nokia N-Series: N80, N80 Internet Edition, N81, N81 8GB, N82, N91, N91 8GB, N92, N93, N93i, N95, N95 8GB
Thus, it is expected to work with new Samsung G810 and any S60 3.0/3.1 edition devices with WLAN, 3G or WiMAX support. Moreover, it can also be used on S60 3.2 edition devices too (Nokia N78, N79, N85, N96, Samsung INNOV8) with applications that operate with Access Points in 3.0-3.1 editions style.
