"By using a SmartConnect access point, it let's you workaround that annoying bug in newer versions of Fring where it won't let you select a hidden WiFi access point!"
It is the great news as it also opening the door to use Fring together with SymVPN from www.telexy.com
This "annoying bug in newer versions of Fring" is not letting you to select VPN access point created in SymVPN, but again, if SmartConnect is allowing the workaround then it will be really nice.
For those who doesn't know, SymVPN is the only PPTP VPN solution for Symbian based phones, Nokia and others. Works over Wi-Fi or 3G. Contrary to other existing VPN solution for mobile phones, SymVPN is easy to install and configure. It will allow you to connect any Windows based computers, many VPN providers, or devices supporting PPTP VPN (ex. various DD-WRT based routers) and all this over secure VPN channel. Works like a charm on my Nokia N95 and E71. Should work on any S60 3rd edition phone. With some trick it will work in Nokia 5800 too!
However, with SmartConnect installed there may be a problem with SymVPN registration. To avoid this problem SmartConnect should be uninstalled. It can be reinstalled later after SymVPN registration is performed.
Mark.
