Configure IPsec/XAuth VPN Clients

Read this in other languages: English, 简体中文.

Note: You may also connect using IPsec/L2TP mode, or set up IKEv2.

After setting up your own VPN server, follow these steps to configure your devices. IPsec/XAuth ("Cisco IPsec") is natively supported by Android, iOS and OS X. There is no additional software to install. Windows users can use the free Shrew Soft client. 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". This mode is generally faster than IPsec/L2TP with less overhead.

Windows

Note: You may also connect using IPsec/L2TP mode. No additional software is required.

    Note: This VPN client supports Windows 2K/XP/Vista/7/8.
