I am trying to set up an OpenVPN connection with my iPad using the cert exported from opnsence.
On the iPad I tried an app called OpenVPN Connect
but when I tried to import the certificate exported from opnsense I got this error in the OpenVPN Connect app
"Failed to Import Profile
Failed to parse profile: crypto)alg: SHA3-256 not found"
For the opnsense certificate, I tried both SHA256 and SHA512 - but got the same message above in both cases.
In relation to that, I found this post:

which looks like the Open Connect app will not work with a certificate exported from opnsense.
I looked thru a bunch of other vpn products on the iStore but couldn't find any to work.
Does anyone know of an iPad app that will work with a certificate exported out of opnsense?
Of note, earlier I ran into the same problem with my Android phone, but found an app called "OpenVPN for Android" that accepts the certificate created out of opnsense.
If I remember correctly iOS supports OpenVPN through its own VPN configuration. Have a look in settings. You may need to import the config (with embedded certificates and key) from an email or through iTunes. It's picky about file storage.

Thank Bart,
I looked thru the iPad settings, and yes there is a native setting for VPN - I'll see if I can get it set up.
@bartjsmit
thanks for the lead - I am having troubles with the setup, and posted a separate question here:

Got it to work as you suggested. Thanks, Rob
