      Hey, ive been trying to setup a VPN for some time now. Ever since pptp had been removed (for good reason) ive been struggling to get any kind of VPN working. Ive looked into L2TP/IPSec and also OpenVPN.

      My preference lies with L2TP/IPSec. Ive tried to follow this guides:

      https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/L2TP/IPsec
      https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/IKEv2_with_EAP-MSCHAPv2

      Both didnt work. I need the VPN to work with IOS, Windows 10 and Android.
      If someone could push me in the right direction, that would be wonderful.

      Thanks,
      Sander

        "Both didnt work. I need the VPN to work with IOS, Windows 10 and Android. "

        Openvpn works just fine with those.. Click through the wizard, install the openvpn connect client on our ios/android devices.  Either run the package from the export package for your windows client or just install on your own and put in the config.

            L2TP/IPsec is dead/dying. Use OpenVPN.

              IPsec is dying? Did you tell the world already?
              But I agree with PPTP & L2TP, no doubt.
