Well, like I said, I could use a workaround (another type of VPN and another video app), but the gain* doesn't justify the sacrifice. The other options are inferior in terms of security, functionality, re-use of infrastructure, and/or ease-of-use. OpenVPN is supported on IOS, Android, and Windows, but there is no WP client last I checked.
* gain is unknown at this point. I've not used it enough to say if it's actually a superior choice overall, but it does have the distinct advantage of being responsive and not as much of a fractured ecosystem mess as Android. Are there any Note-like WP phablets? Seriously considering a Note 4 as my next device. -----Original Message----- From: Hardware [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Winterlight Sent: Monday, October 6, 2014 7:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [H] Windows 8.1 problem At 01:14 PM 10/6/2014, you wrote: >OpenVPN Open, of course, is Linux but WP 8.1 now natively supports VPN and all the "business type" apps that corporate were asking for.. and I use IP Camera Pro for video surveillance... what do you use? >and a video surveillance app. I could work around both of these, but I >dislike the workarounds more than however much I'd like to try WP. > >-----Original Message----- >From: Hardware [mailto:[email protected]] On >Behalf Of Winterlight >Sent: Monday, October 6, 2014 2:22 PM >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [H] Windows 8.1 problem > > > >I have a small set of indispensable apps that aren't available on WP. > >Until that changes, I feel like I'm stuck. > >Back in the WP 7 days I use to read this a lot about windows phone. >Personally, I don't run that many apps that don't come with WP8.1 >although I did want the AKC dog tracker which only came with an Iphone >app. But now they switched to a web based format so any web browser can >be used.
