This is how Apple progresses. Rewrite the future generation from scratch with 80% features. Finish over the next few years.

You're joking, right?

Officially supporting Linux would consume far more resources than revenue it would generate. It's math. I'm sorry you feel that way, but we are running a business, not a charity.

I personally would love to be able to support Linux. Distrowatch will sell you CD's for over 4000 versions of Linux. Are you kidding me? We provide services to consumers. The goal is to make this something that's approachable for your grandma. If you're a programmer or system administrator, then great. The necessary info is in the .mobileconfig and all the instructions are on various web sites. But if you're not, then what do you suggest we do? Even if we chose one, or a few distributions then we'd have trolls like you pounding down our doors because we support Elbow Linux but not Spring Chicken Linux when they're almost exactly the same, except in the most important way.

I wish it were easy to say. Hulu kind of hates us. Well, really hates us. Part of the reason we change IP addresses every day is to try to make sure all sites are accessible. Hulu blocks us a lot, and their blocking pattern adapts as well. We don't try to actively ensure access to Hulu, but we do hope that IP changing will have that as a side effect.

Everything I said about Android above applies hundredfold for Linux. First of all the VPN requires kernel support. What if yours doesn't include it? Secondly, should we support GNOME? KDE? XFCE? Blackbox? FVWM? WindowMaker? Or maybe command line only? Sysv-init? Sysv-rc? Upstart?

I personally would love to support Linux, but it's just not practical. The possibilities are endless. But you can extract the necessary information from the .mobileconfig and follow some instructions found online to set it up.

It's available in our business offerings. It's been discussed for consumer. I can't say when or if it will ever happen.

No, it isn't. iOS provides us a consistent interface. We use the built in IPSEC/L2TP client and configure it with a .mobileconfig.

I have no idea why that's in the FAQ. It works perfectly with any iOS device, including iPad 2.

It does take more work. Each Android device is different and the IPSEC/L2TP client isn't always [included/exposed?]. Manufacturers like to put their own UI on top of Android. And the Kindle Fire? We can't keep up. That being said, it does work, but you have to do it yourself. You can extract the necessary information from the .mobileconfig and if you know how to configure your VPN you're set. But the only way we could officially support Android would be with an app where we either activate the VPN on our own, or provide our on VPN. That is significantly more work, and we don't have any Android developers. If you want it, buy it for your PC then contact support and ask for Android support. If the demand is there it'll eventually happen.

I'm biased because I'm the senior systems engineer at Anonymizer, but I recommend us.

Anonymizer Universal is an IPSEC/L2TP VPN, support for Windows, Mac OS X and iOS (we don't support Android, but it works. We don't supply instructions because Android is a moving target).
Total Net Shield is SSH tunneling+Apache proxy. Supports anything with an SSH client.
Take your pick. In either case we don't log traffic.

Traffic egress is from the U.S. and your IP address changes every day.

World IPv6 day is unfortunately DOA due to Cogent being a bunch of jackasses and not allowing certain peering arrangements. There are unfortunately two IPv6 Internets. One of people who use Cogent and one for everyone else.

Google, Yahoo! and Hurricane Electric, as well as many other sites are all on Cogent's "no peer with you" list. If you're a Cogent customer you should get on the phone.

On 6/8 there will be both A and AAAA records for www.google.com. Almost all operating systems (that is, at least every one I've used over the past year) will prefer v6 over v4 if there is a functioning stack. And a functioning stack being defined as a globally unique address on at least one interface and a route to the intended destination, although some operating systems will prefer v4 over v6 if the only global address an automatic tunnel (6to4 or Toredo).

If you only have v4 you will not be affected by v6 day at all. This is only meant to test how many users who have a broken v6 connection.

1. For each teleconference location you need the following

* Mac Mini -> $600
* Logitech USB Webcam -> $100
* Video Projecter -> $1300
* iChat -> $0
Total -> $2000

2. You will also need one XMPP server. Here are cheap and easy options
* One of those Mac Mini's runs the server edition and turn on iChat server -> $1000 (instead of $600)
* Run OpenFire (Java based) on one of those Mac Mini's -> $0
* Run OpenFire (or any other open source XMPP server) on any other server you already have -> $0

3. Your boss thinks you're awesome for deploying a full teleconference solution that costs less than $100,000 (unless you're deploying to 20 conference rooms, in which case you're awesome for a solution that costs less than $10,000,000).
