CentOS - Jan 2010 - iPod Touch/iPhone VPNs with CentOS.

I am looking at options for VPN connections from iPhones and iPod
Touches to CentOS systems.  We use OpenVPN for connections with
Windows, Mac OS X, and other Linux systems, but there don't
appear to be any OpenVPN clients for iPhones (presumably because
there are no tun/tap interfaces available yet).

My experiences getting IPsec running on CentOS systems with OpenVPN
have not been pretty.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks.

Bill

taxes, that a government, in the practice of paper emissions, would rarely
fail, in any such emergency [such as an election], to indulge itself too

I know my iPhone is able to connect to the PPTP VPN running on my  
pfsense firewall. I haven't looked for a PPTP package for Centos, but  
that's one option to try.
