      Hi,

      I'm trying to connect from my iPhone 3G to my pFsense box and hopefully will be able to get things like VNC going through Jaadu.

      I found this howto which seems very helpful, http://0v3rr1d3.immixture.com/2008/10/14/vnc-through-ssh-tunnel-on-the-iphone-3g-maybe-even-on-2g

      Problem is I can't ping my pFsense box using mobileterminal. SSH is enabled on pFsense and I have allowed a WAN rule for it aswell (port forwarding isn't necessary?)

      Anyone got this kind of setup running?

      Thanks

        Why not using the iPhones internal VPN Client? It's working with PPTP or IPSec although I only got PPTP to work while trying it (was only a quick test and PPTP worked way faster than going through all ipsec issues).

        Don't forget to upvote 👍 those who kindly offered their time and brainpower to help you!

        If you're interested, I'm available to discuss details of German-speaking paid support (for companies) if needed.

          IIRC IPsec from the iPhone will only work with pfSense 2.0 onwards.
