I've heard that the WiFi on the Touch won't work on a VPN?

If so, is there a reasonable workaround? Or at least will Apple fix it in the future?

I take it you mean that the touch does not have a VPN client?

Dunno, not got mine yet...

It's all alone...

In a box...

In a cold, dark warehouse...

Waiting to be delivered...


OK, I have given up keeping this sig up to date. Lets just say I'm the guy that installs every latest version as soon as its available!

The iPod touch doesn't ship with a VPN client. The VPN clients for the iPhone are third-party applications, and no one has managed to figure out how to get third-party software onto the iPod touch yet.

For the near future, at the very least, there won't be a VPN client.

iPhone also has the ability to connect to VPNs built in. That doesn't work with Cisco VPNs (nothing does except for their own software), but that's still a difference between the iPhone and the Touch.
