      probably iOS openssl library doesn't support that cipher,
      try to use AES-128-CBC in the Encryption Algorithm field

        ok, got that working, now it the connection is timing out.... any ideas?

        I can see the inbound firewall rule for open vpn accepting the traffic. it just does not connect.

          @havockk This is different connection issue
          check your Firewall rules and OpenVPN settings,
          post more details - config, log, etc.

            packet capture from WAN interface:
            18:13:24.100702 10:e8:78:e0:21:d8 > 40:62:31:0a:71:c8, ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 128: (tos 0x0, ttl 53, id 28697, offset 0, flags [none], proto UDP (17), length 114)
            [client wan address].1464 > [server wan address].1195: [udp sum ok] UDP, length 86

            18:13:24.100942 40:62:31:0a:71:c8 > 00:12:1e:22:a3:f0, ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 140: (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 51957, offset 0, flags [none], proto UDP (17), length 126)
            [server wan address].1195 > [client wan address].1464: [udp sum ok] UDP, length 98

            When I attempt to capture packets on the openvpn interface, no information is in the output.

            Is this enough information?

                  The difference to my working iOS config (running the latest iOS and OpenVPN app) is this:
                  dev tun
                  cipher AES-256-GCM
                  ncp-disable
                  auth SHA256
                  resolv-retry infinite
                  remote [Server WAN address] 1195 udp

                    This works also just fine with all kind of "I" stuff :

                    dev tun
                    tun-ipv6
                    persist-tun
                    persist-key
                    cipher AES-128-GCM
                    ncp-ciphers AES-128-GCM
                    auth SHA256
                    tls-client
                    client
                    resolv-retry infinite
                    remote work.work-domain.tld 1194 udp4
                    .....

                    Edit : and where are the logs ??

                      Maybe there is a problem with auth SHA512 and iOS?

                              Yeah NM, I see Gertjan is also using udp4 in the config like TO.

                                Why would I set it for both if I only want it on v4 ;)

                                The export wizard auto does that, since that is how the server instance is set.

                                The wan interface doesn't have v6, so if I wanted to do vpn over ipv6 I would have to setup a different instance via the he tunnel interface. No point in that even though my phone only gets an IPv6 address, it can connect to the IPv4 address just fine.. Many a mobile carrier going that route.. T-mobile only hands out IPv6 for phones atleast here in chicagoland.

                                The one real use of IPv6 currently - supply IPs to the BILLIONS of mobile phones ;)

                                  All this over an UDP IPV4 link of course.
