      Hello,

      i have installed pfsense, running behind another firewall.
      Also configured OpenVPN with the wizard.
      I can also export openvpn file for iOS client and vpn dial in is working.

      What i want to achieve:
      VPN on demand on iOS devices. Maybe somebody has already configured this with pfsense?
      And is willing to publish some instructions and or a short manual?

      In my opinion this will help also some other users implementing this.

      Thank you

      Regards

        What do you mean with vpn on demand?
        Start the vpn connection or don't ^^;

          Hello,

          vpn on demand is the possibility to start a vpn connection when the connection is needed for accessing data on the corporate network.
          for example i have an app which will connect a server in my corporate network, the iphone will start the vpn connection automatically.

            Ok so this is a problem of the device you are trying to connect and doesn't really have anything to do with the server (in this case pfsense).
            A short google shows this:
