          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 ;)

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