      hi all,

      i have followed this guide -

      https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/IKEv2_with_EAP-MSCHAPv2

      and im stuck on what cert to install to my mobile/computer etc

      is it the certificate authority (CA) or the server certificate (SC), ie the router one or the ikev2 one?

      cheers,

      rob

        You need to add the certificate used to sign the server certificate to the client's trusted root store.  The CA certificate. The one that shows as Issuer in the certificates view in certificate manager for the certificate used as My Certificate in the IKEv2 config.

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

              is there a way to set up an IKEv2 server on pfsense without my user having to install certs on his device

              just by typing in a username and password to authenticate and way you go

                Are your systems in a domain environment?  If do you can push very via group policy.
