      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 ;)

                            You bet it is !
                            I'm actually VPN-into-work just to get my iPhone 'multistacked' ^^
                            All this over an UDP IPV4 link of course.
