# Supported Platforms

OpenConnect is known to work on Linux (including Android), OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, DragonFly BSD, OpenIndiana/OpenSolaris and Mac OS X platforms, and should be trivially portable to any other platform supporting TUN/TAP devices and on which OpenSSL runs. IPv6 support is tested on Linux, FreeBSD and OpenSolaris.

For Solaris support, and for IPv6 on any platform, the `vpnc-script` shipped with vpnc itself (as of v0.5.3) is not sufficient. It is necessary to use the script from my vpnc-scripts repository instead.

It is known to work on at least i386, x86_64, PowerPC and MIPS processors, and should not have issues with portability to other CPUs.

Note that 'Cisco Secure Desktop' support may require the ability to run Linux/i386 binaries; see the CSD page.

## New Ports

Platform support for new UNIX systems is relatively simple to add — most of the difference is in the TUN/TAP device handling, and the major variants of that are already supported.

A port to Windows should be fairly simple, since a TUN/TAP driver exists for Windows and Cygwin should make the basic port work OK.

A port to Symbian, to provide VPN connectivity on phone handsets, would be very useful. Any volunteers?
