      Yeah, I'm not sure either, but my thinking runs that if it were an iOS/OSX issue, then it would affect all VPN providers and that does not seem to be the case. I've not actually tested it with a Cisco or Juniper unit but I'd expect that something not based on strong swan wouldn't have this problem.

        Hi,

        Does this setup work for pfSense in version 2.3.2-RELEASE?
        Can anyone confirm that?

        Cheers!

          Yes, I just set this up today. To address an earlier question about Dynamic DNS, I have this working also but I had to set everything up on a subdomain (vpn.myname.com, versus just myname.com), including setting a dynamic DNS A record for vpn on my nameserver.

          Thanks OP for such a detailed post! Your instructions are the first I got working. If you're still following this thread, what was your rationale for making the cipher selections you did? I'm wondering if this will work with ciphers that take advantage of AES-NI hardware acceleration.

            Where or how do I key in this command?? In the web interface somewhere??  From the physical console??

            sudo openssl pkcs12 -export -in userCert.crt -inkey userCert.key -out userCert.p12

            I'm going through the steps and hope to make a connection between my iphone IOS 9.3.5 and pfSense 2.3.2…

            Thanks.

                Ok, so copy the 3 certificates and 1 user key to a folder on my mac, then modify the command to the correct paths and run through xcode?

                  You have to run it in through /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app

                      I went through all the steps in the first post.  I am not getting a connection.  What am I missing?  Here's what the logs say:

                          Following the instructions on that link, I am getting what looks like the same errors:

                          Sep 5 14:36:38	charon		07[ENC] <bypasslan|10> generating IKE_AUTH response 1 [ N(AUTH_FAILED) ]

                          The only thing I was confused about when following the instructions was the CN.  I used my static external ip address as the common name, then added "ip address" as an alternative and rekeyed in my static external ip.  I'm not sure what the hostname for my box means and when I click alternative, I do not have the option for DNS.

                          Please help!  I was using PPTP before and lost that after I upgraded my box.  Now I can't get into my office remotely anymore, can't go on vacation or out of town, I have to drive to the office in the evenings and on weekends when I need access to my network.

                          Trying to configure ipsec to work with my macbook and iphone has cost me a lot of hours and been very frustrating.  I hope to get it configured correctly and up and running soon.

                            Hi, newbie here! :o

                            At one point I was able to make it work but I have some issues now.

                            I setup OpenVPN and it's working fine, but I need the Apple configurator option "AlwaysON" and it can only be achive with IKEv2.

                            I can setup all those parameters, but the p12 certificate, I search online and openssl command line doesn't ask for a password, you can't set one and Apple configurator won't let you add that certificate to a profile with an empty password field and "space" is not working.

                            I have PFSense 2.3, iOS 10.1  and latest version of Apple configurator.

                            I need something simple, one user only that need to be on VPN all the time and can't get it off with configuration profile that can't be removed (supervised mode)

                            So how can I get it to work ? or have a self sign certificate p12 with the password.

                            Thank you

                              To make split DNS work w/o routing all traffic through the tunnel, you need to provide a second, fake, domain name to work around bug 4418:

                              https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/4418

                              Without this work around, you will see a 'p' character appended to the domain in 'scutil –dns'. The extra 'p' is still there, it just gets appended to the fake domain name and is harmless.

                                Hi,

                                i configured as you described in your post. And the VPN Tunnel works fast, but after 3-30 Minutes the iPhone do a panic - and restart. Sometime it happend directly if i do some network traffic.

                                Did somebody else have the same problem ?

                                best

                                regards

                                  I am trying to get this set up on my pfsense box 2.3.3_1.  I am stuck on the server certificate, where the instructions say:

                                  Click "+" to add a new Alternative Name
                                  Enter DNS in the Type field
                                  Enter the hostname of the firewall as it exists in DNS again in the Value field – Some clients require the value in SAN not just CN!
                                  Click "+" to add a new Alternative Name
                                  Enter IP in the Type field
                                  Enter the WAN IP address of the firewall in the Value field

                                  At my end, there does not seem to be any way to type in DNS or IP into the type field.  The type field is a drop down menu containing the following choices:
                                  -FQDN or Hostname
                                  -IP address
                                  -URI
                                  -email address

                                  Am I missing something here?

                                    I'm trying to get this work with EAP-MSCHAPv2.
                                    On Windows 10 it's working great but I have problems getting this to work on macOS/iOS with AppleConfigurator profiles.

                                    I did everything to generate the profile suggested in the first post but instead of eap-authentication: certificate I choose username/password.
                                    When connecting with macOS/iOS with the profile installed I'm getting the exact same errors as pfsensepilot:

                                    Does anybody has an idea/hint?

                                    EDIT: Now I tested with EAP-TLS and configured everything exactly as described in the first post.
                                    And again, it's working on Windows 10 but when I try to connect with macOS I'm getting the same errors shown above.
                                    Trying to modify certain settings (e.g. PFS off/on) changes nothing…

                                        I am popping back in to this thread to provide some additional info. I was able to get the IKEv2 VPN connection working following my previous post, by deleting everything and stepping through the instructions again. And I was able to leave out the "IP" and "DNS" fields (which as I noted upthread, do not seem to be enter-able any more). Thank you very much to the OP!

                                        I was also able to turn the VPN connection into a VPN on demand connection, and I thought I would outline the steps involved in case anyone else wants to do this.  Apple Configurator 2 does not show the "VPN on demand" toggle when setting up a profile for IKEv2 (it seems to be present for L2TP and IPSEC only).  However, I was able to achieve this by manually editing (using Text Wrangler) the .mobileconfig profile as below. The relevant changes are near the bottom, where I was able to set things up so that if I am connected to my home Wifi, the VPN is turned off, but the VPN connection is enabled if connected to any other network.  Note that if you sign the profile in Configurator, it cannot be edited.  Note also that this does not require a supervised iOS device.

                                          At my end, there does not seem to be any way to type in DNS or IP into the type field.  The type field is a drop down menu containing the following choices:
                                          -FQDN or Hostname
                                          -IP address
                                          -URI
                                          -email address

                                          Am I missing something here?

                                          Look to the right of the dropdown, there is a field where you can enter the required data.

                                            The field on the right is for the "value", not the "type" (which is on the left).  There is no way (that I can see) to enter a "type" other than the 4 choices in the drop down menu (as in the instructions in the first post in this thread).  I guess this changed with a recent pfSense update.  However, it does not seem to matter.  In my case, I was able to get everything working using the "FQDN or Hostname" and "email address" fields (for email I entered the same string as for the CN and SAN (i.e. the server address or the user name, depending on the cert)).  The "DNS" and "IP" entries do not seem to be required in order to get everything working.
