Hi there,
I got a small PPTP server running at home which I use to come around the Great Firewall when I'm in China. After updating the iPhone to 4.3 it doesn't want to connect anymore. The connection was working properly before the update and it's still working from my Mac so the server is up and running. I tried to set up the VPN connection new again, but it still shows connecting, starting and it toggles the switch to off again. Ideas anybody?
Thx,
Michael
Dunno if you have access to do this...Quote:

you will need to turn off either pcomp or accomp

The iOS 4.3 and 4.3.1 devices simply stop sending traffic back after the PPTP server offers it's Configuration Request. Adding either 'nopcomp', 'noaccomp'
or both to /etc/ppp/options.pptpd results in the connections working every time.
In Other Words:
iOS 4.3 and 4.3.1 immediately stop trying to establish a VPN connection
when they are offered both pcomp (protocol field compression negotiation)
and accomp (address/control compression). This is the default behaviour
in PPP and presumably why allot of Linux based routers are subsequently unable
to establish connections with iOS 4.3+.
