      I'll post screenshots when I'll be backgammon home. Too hard to do on iPad.

        Wow, that was an unbeleivably fast reply, thank you!  :o

        In the mean time I will be trying again with the info in http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,23519.0.html … if I manage I will post here asap the results.

        --- EDIT ---

        Managed finally to get the PSK part working somehow, still have to test from outside to inside WAN->LAN and see if everything is working as it should, and then, I will slap myself a couple of times, and move on to your info about CERT, and make iphone open vpn automatically, etc...
        THANKS!

        --- EDIT2 ---

        Slapped myself once, as it is working lovely from WAN side (actually nasty 3G), but I can only ping pfsense from the iphone, and for some odd reason, the traffic in the iphone is not going through the VPN tunnel... have to investigate more...

          Here are some screenshots.

          To provide you with a complete information:

          • my local network is using 10.15.1.1 –> 10.15.5.255
          • you have to do the ssh thing as I already mentionned

          What I still have to fix:

          • local netwok names are not resolved within the VPN

          Hope it'll help
          (rename the attachment to .zip)

            Thank you very much for your help and time!!

            The problem is that I can't manage to open the txt -> zip file in winrar… decompression errors... I can see there are 4 PDF files but can't extract them.
            Also, do you know how to do the CERT part, where U issue a certificate to the iphone, so it connects automatically?.

              The archive was created on a mac. Just send me a private message with your e-mail and I'll send you the pdf's.

              For the cert part, I have no idea for the moment.
              I didn't find yet a cert mgmt tool good for me (home usage only, very simple, with a gui if possible).
              So for the moment I didn't try. But I'm sure I will

                could you post your screens as gif or jpeg here? Would be easier than sending them one by one to all people asking…
