I am using WireGuard for iOS and already vastly prefer it over OpenVPN Connect: WireGuard stays connected and doesn't exhibit OpenVPN's unreliable reconnect-on-unlock behavior. Your efforts are much appreciated.
- jesseb 8y agoI am so glad to hear this! I've been holding off on Wireguard solely because I need iPhone support, but I've had the same problems you're referring to with OpenVPN.
- maltalex 8y agoOpenVPN on IOS is horrible. But if you're looking for something a bit more mature than wireguard for now, IKEv2 IPSec VPNs based on strongswan work great. There are some ready made docker containers [0] that set up an IKEv2 VPN and can generate an IOS mobileconfig file for your phone.

- pilif 8y agoThe configuration PFSense uses for Strongswan works without requiring you to install a mobileconfig file on iOS. This has rapidly become my favourite solution for a VPN setup because it uses only built-in software on the client and it's extremely stable.
- auslander 8y agoYou still need an mobileconfig to configure On Demand (kind of always on) mode. But yeah, native IKEv2 on iOS is pretty solid.
