VyprVPN for Blackberry 10
I have found a converted version of the Android app (1.2.1) and side loaded it, but the app would not even load. It would be great to have a native BB10 version of the app, or even a converted Android version.
Alternately, a VPN can be set up on the device manually. The attached file contains information on the settings available. Unfortunately nothing conforms with manual options for other environments.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Good news, BlackBerry users!
We have a new manual setup for IPSec on BlackBerry 10. See the tutorial here: https://support.goldenfrog.com/hc/en-us/articles/215864587
We’ll continue to look into the possibility of making a BlackBerry-compatible app, but for now you can configure a native VPN connection and use the service that way!

Thanks for adding the description running VyprVPN on a BB10 device. Very easy to setup and valuable to use.

This setup works brilliant (BB OS 10.3.2, Z30): http://ideas.goldenfrog.com/forums/171209-golden-frog-ideas/suggestions/5735748-manual-setup-for-blackberry-os-10-2-1

Not having blackberry support is a deal breaker for me. Sorry VyperVPN!

I am currently running another service of VPN just for my blackberry 10 phone. It will be ideal if I can be just using VyprVPN as I like your service and overall server list options.
As what some had mentioned, adding to support IKEV2 will be able to solve most of the issues with blackberry.

I note that the "UNDER REVIEW"for the BB by the Product Manager has not been updated since Sept 19th 2013. Could we please have an update.

I am currently testing this service on a three day trial as I am considering moving from WiTopia. With them I am able to set up on my Blackberry Z30 using CiscoSecuere PIX Firewall VPN one of many protocols built in to the Blackberry OS. and using a server address they provide. It important that I can have this since I live part time in China and want to use an Internet Phone app (ePhone) that is blocked if I do not use the VPN. The cisco protocol works very well and has never been blocked.
I do think you need to build an app since, like the iPad all is needed is a server name that can use the Cisco protocol (not sure what it is) plus your VPN providers login ID/Password. It took all of one minute to set this up and it works flawlessly. NOTE: For China best to use the IP number and NOT the domain name for the server address since this can easily be blocked. It has worked for over a year with zero problems. If I cannot use my Blackberry I probably will not be able to use the service. -

Straightforward and easy! I am pretty sure BB OS does not allow to automate that (security and all) but a small how to article would help many. but this worked for me! thank you!

Yes please, and like one of the others said, decline in consumers but it is not even slowing down in the business world (see US Army that just expanded it as well pretty much every bank under the sun...).
Imagine they would use YOU on their BlackBerrys, naturally, they would use it to for their laptops and poof... you sign an entire company...

It should be noted my first comment was made when a conversion was needed to run Android apps. I've been running BlackBerry 10.3.1 which allows installation of an APK file directly. Unfortunately Vyper VPN continues to not work.
As I said initially, BlackBerry 10 allows for manually setting up a VPN. If instructions could be posted on how one might do that, it would be great! -

Adding IKEv2 as a protocol would fix this - BB10 does not support PPTP or OpenDNS but does support IKEV2 - so add this protocol and BB10 users like me will be happy instead of having to go to a competitor just for their BB10 VPN needs.

I hope Golden Frog make some updates to their VPN software - Witioia on a Blackberry 10 in Starbucks works perfectly but VyprBPN on BB10 does not work in Starbucks but does work on many other networks - so perhaps they need to tweak their settings ti allow the BB setuop described here to work on all networks

Excellent job! Works great and is one of the faster vpns around. I also managed to get it working with just the. p12 cert from vypr. Although you must use psk.

121 votes is one of the higher votes for an idea - what is the threshold to develop a BB10 app - even an android port?

I would use a Blackberry 10 app as well. Please consider building one.

Thanks for putting this together. I appreciate it. It's both BlackBerry and GoldenFrog who need to jointly bring VyprVpn to BB10. It's seriously needed.
