- I currently use ExpressVPN on Android and PC, but it cannot be installed on BB10. Is there a preferred VPN for BB10 devices. How heavy is the battery usage etc?
Any recommendations would be appreciated.

- I believe somewhere in CrackBerry @Bla1ze had written about the limited VPN selection. Primary thing I remembered was to stay away from the free ones, maybe ? I’m sorry I don’t remember better.
@chetmanley is another great experienced member

- You can setup your own VPN using Cisco AnyConnect protocol with openconnect software. It would consume less battery in TCP mode compared to IPsec IKEv2.Gene Fells likes this.06-13-20 05:33 AMLike 1
- VPN.AC is another provider with IKEv2 which I know works on BB10. No certificate is required which makes setup a bit easier. They are considerably faster than ProtonVPN and less expensive than both Proton and NordVPN.
Their website doesn't show any info on how to add IKEv2 to BB10 and if you ask them, they probably wont be able to help, but these are the settings you need.
Server Address: These are found in the support section of the Client area under Tutorials - MacOS or Android/Strongswan client.
Gateway Type: Generic IKEv2 VPN Server
Authentication Type: EAP-MSCHAPv2
Authentication ID Type: Email Address
Authentication ID: (as provided by VPN.AC - this is not the same as your account login email address)
MSCHAPv2 EAP Identity: Same as above
MSCHAPv2 Username: Same as above
MSCHAPv2 Password: (Your VPN password - this is not the same as your account password)
Gateway Auth Type: PKI
Gateway Auth ID Type: Fully Qualified Domain Name
Gateway Auth ID: (Same as the server address used above)
Allow Untrusted Certificate: Disallow
Gateway CA Certificate * : All CA Certificates
Perfect Forward Secrecy: Enable
Automatically determine IP: Enable
Automatically determine DNS: Enable
Automatically determine algorithm: Enable
And the rest can be left default.06-13-20 11:32 AMLike 0 - VPN.AC is another provider with IKEv2 which I know works on BB10. No certificate is required which makes setup a bit easier. They are considerably faster than ProtonVPN and less expensive than both Proton and NordVPN.

The built-in VPN client can be used (supports IKEv2), no app necessary, so no noticeable battery drain.
The site even has a BB10 setup guide somewhere, but it was not 100% correct (I wonder it they fixed it since). However, support was able to provide the correct details.Gene Fells likes this.08-04-20 05:44 AMLike 1
