Configuring VyprVPN on Android 2.1

We all know that NOTHING is private on an Open Wi-Fi network (like at starbucks, book stores, airports … and yes even hotel rooms) (see this article for more information: What is a Wi-Fi Hotspot and How Do I Use It? and this one How to Stay Safe on Public Wi-Fi)

So how do you protect your information? on your shiny new Android phone? … Use a service like VyprVPN
I did the following steps on my new Nexus One (Android version 2.1)

How to configure VyprVPN on Android 2.1

• go into settings
• Wireless & networks
• VPN settings
• Add VPN
• Add PPTP VPN
• set the VPN name: VyprVPN (or whatever you want doesn’t make a difference)
• set the VPN server to one of the following:
  1. us1.vpn.giganews.com for Los Angeles, CA
  2. us2.vpn.giganews.com for Washington, DC
  3. eu1.vpn.giganews.com for Amsterdam
• YES! Enable encryption (otherwise whats the point)
• do not need any DNS search domains (this is for corporate VPNs)

thats IT … Menu … Save

to use it remember to:
Type your Giganews Username and Password in their respective fields

I used this for the reference
