    Sounds like you are trying to use an Android VPN client. I can't see that working, but I could be wrong.

    I use Witopia IPSEC. It works very well.

    May I know which VPN protocols you try to install? PPTP, L2TP or OpenVPN?
    To the best of my knowledge, Z10 only supports Microsoft IKEv2 protocol which requires a certificate (You should download and install IKEv certificate first) it means PPTP and OpenVPN doesn't work on your device.
    There are few vendors that offer IKEV VPN service that you can find them by googling but if you look for a step by step instruction to set it up on your z10, the following link could be helpful:

    I'm using PureVPN with my Z10 with no Problems, Torrent downloads could be little bit faster.

    Not sure if I need VPN anyway with TTORRENT since it has encryption itself?

    (Verschl�sselung = Encryption)

    Encryption and VPN is a different thing.

    Encryption enabled torrent clients encrypt the connection between peers. It is however still possible to trace the stream back to your IP.

    VPN services tunnel the stream to their servers making it virtually impossible to trace your IP since the trace will stop at the servers IP. The fact they encrypt the data travelling through the streams is only gravy

    A lot of VPN protocols are supported out of the box. Why do you need an app? Just go to your account settings and add a VPN connection. I have three set up and they all work great.

    Also, if BlackBerry doesn't trust the protocol, neither do I. OpenVPN sounds like "diet cheesecake" to me, an Oxymoron. I certainly would not trust an Android app to handle that sort of thing, and chances are they won't work anyway on BB10 because they can't get the deep access to the device that they can on Android.

    I agree on most of your points but there is distinct evidence that BB10 will add native support for OpenVPN, possibly some time this year.

    The advantage of OpenVPN is A) it is open source and thus its operation/security is verifiable, and B) it uses SSL as a transport mechanism which is much easier to deal with when you are traversing firewalls and proxies and so forth. Also, a lot of people have devices like home NAS devices and media servers that can also run OpenVPN daemons on them, so they want to be able to connect to those.

    Yes i have the idea about Witopia IPSEC but is there any free way i can get this kind of application or any OPEN VPN settings because it unblocks all services for me like viber and bbm voice & video as well..!!

    OpenVPN is so named because it is OpenSource and allows programmers to create free and OpenSource VPN server/client apps. It's very secure. I use a free VPN client on my PC which uses OpenVPN as well as other protocols. But until BB10 supports OpenVPN I cannot use this or almost any other OpenSource VPN client on my phone.

    Also, if BlackBerry doesn't trust the protocol, neither do I. OpenVPN sounds like "diet cheesecake" to me, an Oxymoron.

    I strongly advise against using Bucklor, I don't trust it. There a lot of negative reviews about it. There are other reputable VPN services out there e.g Purevpn. A word is enough for the wise.

    I use another vpn service unfortunately they don't support BlackBerry. Shame on me I didn't check before going with them.

    I am going to go with witopia when my current contract expires as they have a server in India. My current provider doesn't.

    So with witopia I get my PC, BlackBerry and India server covered.
