The others have addressed VPN functionality within Android, but that's not

I have a rooted 3.0.1 device, again I use the built in PPTP client just

I had a Novatech Laptop a couple years ago, had a few problems during its
life including having to send it back to get its screen fixed. It
died completely after just over a year... my sister had the same model and
