If you go to Waseda and have an iPhone or iPod touch, you know that the school's ridiculous network won't let you access the Waseda wireless network with your device. Waseda requires you to use both a VPN client and an HTTP proxy to get on the internet, and the iPod/iPhone can't do both simultaneously...until now.
Apple's latest iPhone OS (free for the iPhone, $9.99 for the iPod) finally fixes this problem, allowing you to associate an HTTP proxy from the VPN settings panel. You don't have to know what that means to get on the web, just follow these directions, and you'll be good to go:
From the home screen, click "Settings," then "General," then "Network," then "VPN." Fill in the settings as below, replacing "shakku@waseda.jp" and the password with your own campus login (same as your email account).
Under "secret," enter "group."
Click "save" and you should be good. Slide the VPN switch to "on," and you'll be able to access the web over wi-fi. The iTunes store doesn't work, presumably because it needs a secure connection, but email and other apps should be fine.
Handy post - thank you.
