[Openvpn-devel] OpenVPN client released for iOS

[James Yonan]

Just wanted to let everyone know that the OpenVPN Connect client for iOS 
has just been released and is now available in the app store.

This is an official Apple-sanctioned OpenVPN client developed by OpenVPN 
Technologies in collaboration with Apple.

The client is based on the new C++ OpenVPN core that is also used in the 
OpenVPN Connect client for Android.  The C++ core is a portable, 
lightweight class library for building OpenVPN clients and is 100% 
protocol-compatible with the 2.x branch.

The current plan is to open-source the C++ core within the coming weeks. 
 We won't be able to open source the full iOS client because portions 
of it use Apple-proprietary APIs to integrate with the iOS VPN 
framework.  But we will be open-sourcing the core itself, which contains 
all of the code for building an OpenVPN client on Linux or Mac.

BTW, I'm going to be at FOSDEM in early February, so I look forward to 
meeting some of you there.

Enjoy,

James
