      I have OpenVPN setup and working, but now I'd like to setup IPSEC or L2TP/IPSEC as described here: https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/IPsec_Road_Warrior/Mobile_Client_How-To and https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/L2TP/IPsec

      I have followed the directions but have been unable to get either working from an iPhone. Is it necessary to set any firewall rules on the WAN interface to allow the traffic?

        No, rules are automatically added. You can check states under Diag>States to confirm whether the traffic is being passed. Filter on the public IP the client is coming from. Can double check nothing is blocked by checking firewall log.
