FYI, this is the info page for our new (beta) OpenVPN based client which supports multiple encryption options:

Interesting to note that you've hosted your beta clients on Kim Dotcom's Mega service. This is the first time I'm coming across a legit & popular service hosting its public client files on Mega.

I've bought some digital art from a freelancer and received it via there.

I love PIA but I was too afraid to use it at Black Hat / DEFCON this year. If you use L2TP (required for iOS, handy for OS X because there is a native client) there is no certificate to prevent a MITM. Is there any way to address this? Can you use a certificate instead of a pre-shared key?

nitpick: There is a native OpenVPN client for iOS in the AppStore. I don't know how they managed to, but it's plugging into the native iOS VPN functionality and it works perfectly well.

To my knowledge, there are 7 companies including OpenVPN who have been granted access to private VPN APIs. I personally use the OpenVPN iOS client for "always-on" phone VPN.

I see now. I didn't know there was a private API for App Store VPN clients. Cool, I will have to switch to using OpenVPN.

Here is a way some of our customers are using OpenVPN on iOS:
