## Configure IPsec/XAuth VPN Clients
|
|
|
|
*Read this in other languages: [English](clients-xauth.md), [简体中文](clients-xauth-zh.md).*
|
|
|
|
*To connect using IPsec/L2TP mode, see: [Configure IPsec/L2TP VPN Clients](clients.md)*
|
|
|
|
After <a href="https://github.com/hwdsl2/setup-ipsec-vpn" target="_blank">setting up your own VPN server</a>, follow these steps to configure your devices. IPsec/XAuth is natively supported by Android, iOS and OS X. There is no additional software to install. Windows users can use the free <a href="https://www.shrew.net/download/vpn" target="_blank">Shrew Soft client</a>. In case you are unable to connect, first check to make sure the VPN credentials were entered correctly.
|
|
|
|
`IPsec/XAuth` mode is also called `Cisco IPsec`. Compared to `IPsec/L2TP`, it is generally faster with less overhead.
