Hey.

I managed a few weeks ago to connect my N9 via VPN9c to my FRITZ!Box.
And then thought heck this should work with my N900 the same way. And guess what? It works

Now both my darlings connect per VPN to my Home.
You need (from repo, I used devel):
vpnc and vpnc-gui
vpnc needs some patching (you have to exchange the executable /opt/maemo/usr/sbin/vpnc with the attached one)

Here are the threads:
vpn on n900
vpn9c
And some important links:
info
solution

All credit to harbaum (for vpnc), harbaum/scriptkiller (for vpnc-gui)
and imagomundi (for the FRITZ hints).
Thanks to too (for vpn9c)

@peterleinchen,

I don't have a fritzbox but I periodically consider replacing my againg speedport with a fritzbox. When the time comes I might also want to set-up a VPN (although I'd probably not do it using the router, but why not give it a try).

So yes, if you can post your patches/tweaks I'd be grateful.

Speedport is some kind of ('raped') FRITZ, or? (iirc)

Had also changed my mind and wanted to add it soon (just asked as using a binary like vpnc from an 'unknown internet source' is ???). Need to grab my N900...

What I absolutely do not get is: am I really the 'First One' to connect a N900 to a default FRITZ VPN?
I know via freetz modifications you can add an OpenVPN server, but who did so, either?

Not all. Mine is a 503 Type C (made by Arcadyan, not AVM).

You're not unknown

Thing is, you should trust a modem/router/"embedded half-hacked fully-unsupported firmware mess" more or less the same you trust a banker, i.e. you just don't fvcking trust it.

So you place a nice computer next to your router and you install openvpn *there*.
