Hello,
now I have spent many hours to configure openswan for VPN connections without any success.
My goal:
VPN Server CentOS 6 with public IPv4 VPN Client (= road warrier) from private site with NAT router or from mobile cell with Linux, Windows 7, Mac, iPhone or Android
Is there any how to in the net?
When I read file:///usr/share/doc/openswan-doc-2.6.32/config.html then I belive, there is no solution. It is written, that I have to reconfigure the NAT router of the mobile provider or the hardware NAT router of the private dsl uplink.
Both is impossible.
Maybe you get better luck on the Openswan mailing list but I would not get my hopes up. One of the Openswan developers has repeatedly mentioned that IPsec does not like NAT. Les' suggestion to try OpenVPN is what I did and it works well assuming you can find the tun.ko kernel module for your Android phone. I don't know if there is an OpenVPN client for Windows phone or iPhone.
