How to create VPN L2TP on iOS?

Apple iOS devices include a native VPN client. You can use this client to make an L2TP VPN connection to our Gainserver VPN Addon.

3. From the Type menu, tap L2TP.
4. Tap Back.
5. In the Description text box, type a name for the VPN connection, such as "L2TP Gainserver".
6. In the Server text box, type your Gainserver IP Address to connect to.
7. In the Account text box, type your user name of your server.
8. Keep the RSA SecureID slider off.
9. In the Password text box, type the password of your server.
10. In the Secret text box, type this pre-shared key: gainservervpn.
11. Keep the Send All Traffic slider on.
12. Keep the Proxy setting Off.
13. Tap Done.

Start the L2TP Connection

In this procedure, the name of the VPN connection is the service name you used when you configured the L2TP connection on the client computer.

To start the L2TP connection:

1. On the iOS device, select Settings > General > VPN.
2. Select the L2TP VPN profile to use.
3. Swipe Status to Connecting.
