      Anyone had success with iPhone > 3.1.2 and IPSec yet?  I'd really like to use this over PPTP.

        Pure IPSec is still not working. As far as i know PPTP should work fine though I have not tried it myself.

          It does. As the only reasonable VPN-Solution for the iPhone right now.

          L2TP is at the moment plain Layer 2 tunneled Traffic without IPSec, just Authentication so far..

          OpenVPN on jailbroken iPhone is a hell of itself.

          So if you aren´t firm with configuring the IPSec-Part manually, i think have to wait..

          But still, 2.0 Beta?!? I mean, wonderful, brilliant..

            Hi Volks,

            VPN-ing is really a mess with a Mobile device. Even if you setup successful a working PPTP-Tunnel over WiFi, it must not work over 3G (UMTS): here in Germany Vodafone uses a proxy somehow to minifize Images, and the User can not turn it off in any way. The Vodafone Mac-Tam is working on the VPN-Problem since the iPad is rolled out, but still with no success (after 4 Month).

            IPSec on Apples Mobile devices is made from Cisco.
            If we would have CISCO-Routers, we wont read in this pfSense Forum :-/
            After no Success with our pfSense we tried some alternates, and found a solution wich we had to compile into our Gentoo.
            Strongswan allows in its compileable Version to set a Cisco-Parameter, and we where able to set a IPSec-Tunnel wich is working over 3G and EDGE too. Just by following the instructions.

            Even if it is a bit off-topic (because the solution is not in pfsense), this Info could probably help to enhance the 2.x pfsense to be able to do this job too. (what I would prefer)

              Have you tried a recent 2.0 beta?
              Lots of things have changed in there since the last post in this thread.

                Yeah iOS devices and mobile IPsec work great now. One last fix for DNS specific to Cisco clients went in several days ago, though it worked at least a couple weeks prior to that aside from DNS.

                  i keep getting a login failure even though i've followed the instructions on this post.
                  any idea why? i take it you just add a user (with no privelidges) and enter a preshared key under that user?

                        I had this working in a dev environment but the configuration got lost during a rebuild for a different test. Following the various posts in here I am able to login and get an IP assigned from the local mobile pool but I can't get traffic in either direction.

                        Internal Network: 10.0.0.0/16
                        Mobile IP Network 10.0.35.5/29

                        Can provide any additional information as needed. Using pfsense 2.0 Beta5 Feb 7 21:37 snapshot.

                        Thank!

                          Your mobile IP network lies within your internal network, thus traffic never gets routed out because there's no need to.

                          Address:    10.0.0.0
                          Netmask:  255.255.0.0 = 16

                            Thanks. I honestly thought that I had tried 10.1.35.0/24 before I did a post but maybe it was before I resolved a FW rule and didn't go back to it. Things seem to be working now. Thanks for making me look at it again!
