I know there are threads re personal vpn use, and bb10, I have read them but there is nothing current - apologies if I'm rehashing - so here goes -

I want to use a personal vpn provider - using the openVPN protocol - on my Q10 (I'm willing to use the pptp or l2tp if that is a worst case option). Currently I am using it on my Galaxy S4, which I want to get rid of.

I understand BlackBerry is corporate and never has had compatibility for commercial pptp, l2tp and open vpn, in bbos 5,6,7 and bb10.0.

I'm on bb10.1.0.273 on a SQN 100-3 UK unlocked BlackBerry Q10.

I'm just wondering, has the commercial vpn access settings been added?

Is anyone using a commercial PERSONAL vpn provider on their Q10?

Are there any android apps I can sideload?

Any help or clarification on this situation?

I think there is no difference in VPN use beetween Q10 and Z10 devices so you may check Crackberry forum threads by "VPN" search string.
As for me I now under PureVPN via IKEv2 protocol. They are stable and cheap.

Hi, thanks for your response! Yes, I was aware that BlackBerry doesnt support most commercial protocols, and I was aware of a couple of providers supporting IKEv2.

I use open vpn for home 2048 bit encryption etc. BlackBerry - for what ever crazy reason does not support pptp l2tp (both weak forms, but good enough) and openvpn...

I'm guessing bes is a competitor to what providers supply, with openvpn - well whatever, everyone else (bar wp) provides a way to access openvpn so I really can't believe my superb BlackBerry doesnt!!!
