| Be sure you've chosen "Host-to-Net Virtual Private Network (RoadWarrior)" an click "Add". | |
| Type in a name for the new connection. In our example it is "vpn2iphone". | |
| A bit below on the same screen type in a name of who uses this connection. Of course it could be the same name as the connection name. Do not enter a password! | |
| Here you can choose to which of your networks the client will be connected. For most people "GREEN" is the thing to choose. Click "Save" to save the config. | |
| As you see we have created a new openvpn client configuration. Now you have to download it so we click on "Download insecure client package (zip)". Please follow the save dialogue of your browser. | |
| Now go to the folder where you saved the file and unzip it. You will find a .ovpn file within. This file you have to mail to your iPhone. | |
| If you not already done it install the "OpenVPN Connect"-App via the App Store on your iPhone. Open your Mail client on your iPhone and open the mail with your .ovpn file and tap on it. | |
| In the following dialog choose the "OpenVPN Connect" App to open it. | |
| Finally click on the green button to save the configuration. |
Now you iPhone is able to connect to your network via OpenVPN.
