Anybody out there successfully doing IPsec VPN on a windows mobile device ?
I'm having a devil of a time getting anything working.
Thanks,

Well, I finally got my Android Samsung Galaxy S3 (ICS) phone to connect to the Watchguard XTM 5 Firmware: 11.5.2 using IPSec. I followed the directions given by watchguard for connecting an IOS/OSX device. Then it was a matter of what VPN client to use. The default Android ICS VPN client under network settings would not work. I noticed that Samsung included a Third Party IPSec VPN client "AuthenTec VPN Client v2.5.1" (not able to find it in the Google Play store). This app did the trick with the default IPSec settings for Preshared Key IKEv1, with the Aggressive mode checked. My co-worker has the Samsung Nexus Tablet with Jellybean (4.1.1) and the native VPN tool works from that version, with default settings.
This discovery brings happiness and rejoicing to our entire IT team who all have Android phones or Tabs. I use 2X for RDP, (which works well), and "ES File Explorer" (free) for SMB file browsing. With these two tools I can do just about everything I did on my laptop. Anyone have better or more tools than these?
I have also tested IOS and Mac OSX 10.6.8 native VPN tool and they work well, as well as the original SSL client that has always worked.
WatchGuard should totally go public with this, many would benefit. It works great! (I wonder if there are some security holes that they are aware of that's preventing them from announcing Android support officially...)
can you share sir what app you used for us to use? i have and S3 also and we have a Watchguard XTM 5

The only available client that I have been able to get work is ncp vpn client with a mobile user ipsec tunnel to connect to my watchguard x515
Ran trial for a week and just pulled the trigger.. Very happy.

Well, I thought it was surprising enough when the stock browser on the Nook wouldn't take me to the version of mobile Gmail that comes up on Android devices. I forget which one it would load by default, but it would do the basic HTML or the full gmail (which was sloooow). Hitting m.gmail.com got me to the super-stripped-down version that's used for non-Android/non-iOS devices.
But what was even odder: After I rooted and installed Dolphin HD, I got the stripped-down mobile version of gmail, so long as I had the Android user agent selected.
Switching it to the iPhone agent got me the iPhone/Android version, but I kept getting errors that sounded like page was trying to trigger the launch of some external app. So far, I've had the most success with the iPad version, via Dolphin.
But why, oh why, oh why, would using the default Android user agent get me the dumbed-down basic mobile gmail, not the groovy Android/iPhone one?
From googlesystem.blogspot.com/2008/10/gmail-modes.html you can get links to force specific versions.
For iPhone / touch:

This also works in Opera Mobile and Firefox Mobile (Fennec).
You can also set your user agent to the ipad version which is obviously suited to tablets.

Thanks very much for this (works great as a workaround) -- but any clue why, even with the Android agent set in Dolphin, it's doing this in the first place?
I've noticed that when I use any browser other than stock, mobile web pages will not show on my NookColor. Has anyone else noticed this and if so, is there a way to fix it?
I have double checked in the settings to make sure that the user agent was correctly selected. Check out the attached screenshots to see what I mean.

Have you updated to 1.0.1 from B&N?
Yes, before AutoNooter.
Have you tried the "More Options" choice after tapping the rightmost (menu) button that is next to the address bar in the stock browser? It lets you select the user agent. Is that what you're looking for?
Let me clarify, I want to Use Dolphin HD, but mobile webpages don't show when using the app. They also don't work for Firefox, Miren or XScope. The user agent for each was set to android in each app.
The stock NookColor browser shows these pages just fine, but is particularly slow.
Do mobile webpages automagically show when you browse in a Non-Nook browser? If they work fine for others, I will just reset my Nook and start the root process over. But I don't want to do all of that if it's just normal behavior.
Same issue here on Dolphin HD. No matter what I do (clear data, change user agents, restart browser) it always displays the web page in "Desktop" format.
On a side note- Yesterday I had success watching html5 videos off Dailymotion, but today none of the videos work for me. Tried using the same video players and added a new one. Same result, can't play video. Does this happen to anyone else?
Looks like Firefox with the "Phony" Add-on works right.
I've had a lot of success making Dolphin use the iPad user agent.
There's a market app called User Agent Switcher. You call it up via Share Page in your browser. It worked fine for me in Dolphin.
using Ipad agent

is there something special you had to do to get this to work (other than change the default UA in Dolphin HD settings)? Is Dolphin set as your default browser? When I change to Ipad UA it still uses desktop (same with Android and Iphone).

I think it probably IS working (you can go to a site that lists your user agent to know for sure) . . . iPads display most pages in desktop versions (and why not, with a huge screen).
I tested it, and, at least for me, they all work in Dolphin except for Android (ironically) - which, strangely, reads as a Mac. The iPhone user agent will give you mobile views.
You can test by going to http://whatsmyuseragent.com
Thanks wvcachi. Earlier today I went to the market and saw the app User Agent Switcher but now it seems to be gone. Could you please post the APK?

(free app, but since it's removed from market, not sure if that means it's warez) ... Wonder why it was removed?
Getting same thing. A typical android user agent should look like this (from my Evo):
Code:
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.2; en-us; PC36100 Build/FRF91) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/533.1
Instead, I get this, no matter which agent I select in Dolphin HD:
Code:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_7; en-us; AppleWebKit/530.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/530.17
Could it be something in Dolphin that is 'Froyo-only' compatible? A bug in the older webkit? Maybe I'll try the Dolphin mini and see if that works any different.
[edit]
Dolphin mini shows Mac as well.

I was on 1.0.0.. Now that I've upgraded I seem to have this issue as well.

I'm on 1.0 as well, and I'm able to change to all except for android.
I think it might be a 1.0.1 issue. User agent was working properly for me with 1.0 and Dolphin HD, but after I upgraded it no longer works.
can someone send me the apk for the user agent switcher??
i was trying to access the ipad version of gmail, but i cannot change the user agent on most of the browsers, most of them (dolphin HD and mini, miren), as a previous post said, always show this one
Code:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_7; en-us; AppleWebKit/530.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/530.17
no matter what i chose in the UA selection options
in opera mobile i was able to change it to the ipad specific UA, and it worked, but opera cant handle this specific gmail page.
i was trying to find that program "User Agent Switcher" but i cannot find it, could someone share it? (since it is free, i guess it wont be a problem)
Project Description
I started this project to make a better browser for Windows Phone 7.
So far it has a Back, Forward and Refresh buttons, 8 Tabs, Facebook and the Option to choose between Chrome, Opera and IE's User Agent.
So webpages think you're running Google Chrome on Android 4.0.4 and not IE on Windows Phone, Example:
Download free version
New features for donate version (Kolors Plus)
Option to show/hide the tabs
Option to use the Bing Picture of The Day as menu background
Thank you!
thanks
great work

In IE ... Settings[Website Preferences]
Three options:
1) use a different URL for the mobile version, and point the phone at that.
2) modify the web app to recognize the WP8 user agent strings as mobile, even when not in "mobile" mode.
3) customize the user-agent header that the browser control uses to identify as mobile.
Or a fourth, if the browser control is the majority of the app's functionality:
4) make a real app, not just a thin wrapper around a web page; people tend to hate those.
