Connect to L2TP/IPSec VPN server from iPhone

Wed Apr 27, 2022 11:14 am

I have running Mikrotik L2TP/IPSec server and I can connect to it from Android without any problems. Is it possible to connect to this server from iPhone? I am a little bit confused because iPhone built in VPN client offers L2TP, IPSec and IKEv2 type tunnels and it does not have option L2TP/IPSec like it is on Android. iPhone 12 running iOS 15.4.1 version.

Thanks!

I don't know for sure, but I sent this to a user, because I have no Apple devices to test/confirm with, and I didn't hear back after..

Thank you..

Seems obvious where to put the password and PSK secret

Will you please also post what it looks like when you tap secret.. iOS' PSK vs x.509 prompts..

YVW. thats an ON and OFF option it works with RSA no password. I guess just a handshake.

So where do you put the IPSec secret?

The "secret" refers to PSK.

So I responded with

You responded with,

So I am confused on where the PSK or x.509 certificate goes if Secret is just on/off...

Oh, I see. So there is no certificate option in iOS only PSK but it has SecureID so it uses a certificate "EAP-RSA" to generate a pin.
