11.7 Future Plans for PacketiX VPN

Also, SoftEther's web site (http://www.softether.com/) may contain more up to date support information than that found in this manual. When you are troubleshooting a problem, always remember to check there as well.

11.7.1 Localization Plans

Unicode is supported throughout the PacketiX VPN software suite. Furthermore, user interface strings and the internal data structure is designed so that it may easily be localized into other languages. (See section 「1.8.1 Unicode Support」) Only the user interface string table and manual needs to be translated in order for the software to be localized. Starting with the English and Chinese language versions of the software we plan to provide localized versions of the software for more languages as quickly as possible after the development and release of the Japanese version is completed.

11.7.3 About VPN Client for Windows CE

Due to the large number of users that have requested a Windows CE version of the VPN Client, we are currently planning the development of a version of PacketiX VPN for the Windows CE platform.

11.7.4 About VPN Client for Platforms Other than Windows or Linux

Currently VPN Client has only been released for Windows and Linux. We have succeeded at getting VPN Client running on Mac OS X, but it is not ready for a public release at this stage. At this time we have not received many requests for VPN Client to be released for any other operating system besides Windows, and now that the Linux version can connect to tap devices and provide local bridging functionality, we at SoftEther feel that the software meets the needs for the majority of our users. However, we are always ready to think about porting VPN Client's Virtual Network Adapter to other operating systems should we receive enough requests to do so.
