VPN Client Available Yet?

[jsooney]

Any idea if there is a VPN client available for WP8 yet? When I got my 1520 a few months ago they told me one was coming out in the first quarter of 2014, which is about over. I didn't see any mention of it in the 8.1 leak info, but maybe I missed it.

WP8.1 has VPN support - if you want the feature asap you can download the dev preview for 8.1 whenever it comes out

To the best of my knowledge, the 8.1 update will include auto triggered VPN support which isn't the same as an option in the phone to configure and connect to a VPN. This means if an app needs and has VPN configuration/connection will be able to connect. In such case, although there won't be a VPN option standalone in the phone settings, there's a chance that third-party VPN clients come out to the market then.

No VPN client available currently in the market for WP. Once WP8.1 is released, you will get it. However if you are not a developer and just a normal user then the wait is quite long approx 3 months.

^ I wouldn't say approximately 3 months....

Hmm, doesn't sound promising. I wonder what the big deal is. My ancient iPhone 3GS came with one built-in. That was 5 years ago.
