Title: VPN Clients
Post by: brononius on December 30, 2017, 03:11:28 pm
I was wondering what you guys usually as VPN solution.

Today, I'm running openvpn, with openvpn clients.
But of course, a lot of steps (installation thirdparty software, certificates, settings, credentials...) to get this running on the remote clients.

I was trying to you use IPSEC since the client part is really fun on devices like ios and android. "Click-click" and you're on your way.
Except for windows (10). The build-in VPN software of windows isn't connection like it should. Strange, since you can select IPSEC handling. And the roadwarrior (https://wiki.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/ipsec-road.html) doesn't describe anything for windows client? I Find this a bit strange since most end users are windows users, no? :$

I was wondering how you guys use/see this ...

This is how it should be ;)

IPSec allows many extensions, which do not need to be compatible.
If they are not compatible, no IPSec connection can be built.

You might be wrong (depending on the month) - it is switching places with Android from time to time:

There is nothing strange about that - the page was created by Jos who was/is using a Mac as far as I can remember. So he made the documentation for the systems he has access to. I an also not a Windows user.
