Ipass

[LinkView]

I suspect this is due to the ISP that iPass is connecting to. It worked well for me using GRIC in China and many other countries.

We're using V-ONE SmartGate for our VPN.

We use Ipass and really like their service.  We were using UUNET but
favor Ipass because:

- it has more pops in more countries
- it has a Connection manager for ease of use.  UUNET just gives you a
list of phone numbers.
- it has a flat rate ($20/mo) and a measured rate service plan.  Ideal
for occasional travelers.
- detailed bills.

We use it with V-ONE SmartGate with out any major problems in UK,
Germany, HK, Japan, Australia.  The only problem that we have with Ipass
is in China.  We connect to the ISP and can access standard ports (HTTP,
FTP, etc) but our VPN doesn't work.  We think it might be because of
port filtering by the Chinese government.
