      Anyone got IPSEC to work on an iPhone using pfSense? I think I followed this guide: (1260) iPhone IPSEC VPN Setup - YouTube

      I have OpenVPN installed and working great. Not able to get IPSEC to work. I am running pfSense version 2.4.5-RELEASE-p1 (amd64)

      I appears to be connecting successfully via the iPhone but I can't seem to access resources on the network.

      I downloaded "Network Ping Lite" to the iPhone and can't seem to ping.

      I show this on the iPhone. The iPhone connects successfully.

        @amrogers3 Yes, I have IPSec working just fine with Windows 7 -> 10, MacOS, iPhone and Android phones all on the same Mobile IPsec setup on a pfSense.

        Mind you though - i believe I remeber there were some issues that you had to be very carefull about on 2.4.5 because it was less than capable of supporting the lastest standards.

        I would strongly recommend you upgrade to 2.6 and implement your IPsec as a IKEv2 setup. Works beautifully with all the clients, and the only major drawback is in enterprise size networks because Netgate has not implemented named IP pools to assign clients to with Radius returned class info. So all clients are treated the same because you cant separate them by IP unless you create static IP return rules pr. User from radius.

        Love the no fuss of using the official appliances :-)
