In the iPad app there is no way to enter a username to use VNC to connect to an OSX computer on a neorouter VPN network. Is there a workaround for this or will the ability to enter a username be added in the future? When I try to connect on password alone, I get an automatic disconnect. VNC works fine on the Windows and OSX clients as the OS detects the request and automatically prompts for username/password. By the way, love the product and what it does to create an easy VPN. Keep up the good work.

Hi wanderson29,

The VNC addon for iPad has not supported the username yet. We will improve it in the future.

Thanks,

Hi wanderson29,

Before we add support for username, you could work around by allowing password-only access in OSX screen sharing settings.
1. Launch System Preferences, open Sharing
2. select Screen Sharing, click on "Computer Settings..."
3. Check both checkboxes to allow "Anyone may request permission to control screen" and "VNC viewers may control screen with password". Type in your password. Then click on Ok.

Now you should be able to connect to your OSX using NR iPad app.

Thanks,
Luke

Access via the HTML5 solution fails with the message "application vesion is not compatible"

My server is currently running under OS X 10.8.4, btw.
And I'm trying the web access method on an iPad 1.

hi Koppenhoefer,

Please make sure to install the latest NeoRouter server build.
If you still have problem, please provide more data: 1. server version, 2. WebApp URL.

Thanks,
Luke
