      I have the same... Connections to my commercial VPN provider work OK from the new OpenVPN IOS app, but not to my pfSense.
      Running 2.4.3-RELEASE-p1 and IOS 11.4.1
      However.... connections to pfSense when connecting from the IOS Settings > VPN pane do work

        Running 3.0.0(172) on IOS 11.4.1 connecting into either udp or tcp running on my 2.4.3p1 pfsense - ZERO issues.. Your going to have to post some logs if you want anyone to help you figure out what is wrong..

        Post up the client and the server logs of your connection attempt.

          I think I had to re-enter my username and/or password after upgrading, but after doing that I have no problems with connecting to my pfSense box from my iPhone.

            Well spotted! Looking into the profile the password was there but the username was missing.

                So, the "magic solution" is : export OpenVPN client profile with "Client Export" utility. Now it's ok

                  Wouldn't call that magic ;) How were you doing it before? No wonder you were having issues.

                        Didn't even know that the OpenVPN app for iOS 11.4.1 was updated .... ☺
                        I was always using the exported config from the Client Export package.
                        I switched the slider, and was connected without any issues.

                        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                        Edit : and where are the logs ??
