    Greetings,
    Can someone tell me their working crypto/cert configurations for use with an iPhone as an endpoint client into the PFSense server.

    DH Parameter length (bits) 2048
    Encryption Algorithm  AES-128-CBC
    Auth digest algorithm SHA-1 (160 Bit)

    I'd actually prefer stronger crypto, but for now thats what I set ..  When I download the .ovpn file it confirms the settings

    persist-tun
    persist-key
    cipher AES-128-CBC
    auth SHA1
    tls-client
    client
    remote {my remote}  1194 udp
    lport 0
    verify-x509-name "{my name}" name
    auth-user-pass
    ns-cert-type server
    comp-lzo adaptive

    But when I start the client on the iPhone .. It errors out with "EVENT: CORE_ERROR crypto_alg DSA-SHA1 not found" I've tried multiple crypto configs for the server but they always bail out with this same error .

    Thanks in advance for any advice/pointers etc

      Server side:
      DH Parameter length (bits) 2048
      Encryption Algorithm  AES-256-CBC
      Auth digest algorithm SHA-256

      My working client config (iPad):

      
      persist-tun
      persist-key
      cipher AES-256-CBC
      auth SHA256
      tls-client
      client
      remote host.domain.tld 1194 udp
      lport 0
      verify-x509-name "host.domain.tld" name
      auth-user-pass
      ns-cert-type server
      comp-lzo adaptive
      
       <ca>...</ca> 
      
       <cert>...</cert> 
      
       <key>...</key> 
      
       <tls-auth>...</tls-auth> 
       key-direction 1
