      @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
                .....

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

                  Maybe there is a problem with auth SHA512 and iOS?

                            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 ;)
