VPN Configuration Profiles iOS4

...except that I'm not using iPCU to load a configuration profile onto my iPhone. I entered the information manually on my iPhone and it simply doesn't work with a 3DES configuration. It only works with AES-128.

I just received the following response from Apple:

Same issue, VPN on IOS4 is not working after upgrade from 3.1.2. Is there any workaround for this ?

All good Except VPN...

I have the same issue, iPhone iOS4 does not work for my VPN unless I switch from 3DES to AES-128. If I make that switch however, my VPN is broken for OSX

Just to clarify. Did anyone get this to work on iOS4 with IPSEC (Cisco) VPN? Or only L2TP?

I get a session up but no traffic trough the tunnel..

Using Cisco ASA 8.3.1 as VPN Server

I have the same problem: after upgrading to iOS4 on my 3G, my VPN connection doesn't work anymore!! 😟
I have already deleted the config and afterthat created a new one, but it didn't solve the problem!!!

Try manually entering the VPN settings on the phone instead of using a profile. That worked for me.

When is the bug expected to be fixed? My company has indicated Apple Support said this has been fixed and should be released any day now. Thank you.

To add a data point - My VPN (iPhone 4 - ASA 5505) works on WiFi but no go on 3G or Edge. On 3G and Edge it indicates a connection but no traffic across it. My original iPhone worked on Edge (and WiFi).

I have the same problem!!!!
After upgrading to iOS4 on my 3G, my VPN connection doesn't conect anymore!!
I have already configured a new one, but it didn't solve the problem!
FOR ME THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM... WHEN APPLE WIIL SOLVE THIS BUG?
WE NEED A DATE!

On Thursday i called apple, I was a very frustrated SysAdmin, I have a fleet of iPhones under my watch and honestly I don't like to upgrade things so I asked all employees to hold back from iOS 4 until I tested the capabilities that we use. To my surprise iOS 4 completely crippled for lack of a better word my VPN config.
A couple of days later and some frustration I have come to a compromise that allows all of my Windows, Apple and iPhone users to access the VPN, with no issues.

First of my security appliance is a SonicWall Pro 2040, I set up the VPN, and left the first proposal as 3DES, as for the second proposal that I changed to AES-128. I have tested the config, and made sure that at least 3 different Windows clients (XP, Vista and 7) can connect, and 2 iPhones (3g and 3gs), as well as an MacBook Pro. I am happy with this result.

As a side note, I tried the manual setup to see if it works, I also tried creating a profile through the iPhone Configuration Utility, and it also works like a charm.

This works!!!

I recognize that this is an Apple issue, but can it can be solved now by your Sys Admin, all they have to do is make sure that the VPN proposal is AES-128, and not 3DES, in my case I was able to change the second proposal on my SonicWall Pro 2040, therefore not affecting Windows, Mac or Linux clients, but fixing the iPhone clients I have.

As I have stated before contact the system administrator of your company and ask him if he can setup a second proposal on the same VPN server, and make this AES-128, or simply create a second VPN signon server so iPhone users can connect, I don't know how much this is affecting your business, but in my case I tried the change and it works, all of my clients are supported, so good news, as for Apple, they can take there time as far as I am concerned.

I tried the same change and it did nothing to help. The fact is apple blew it by obviously not testing iOS4 adequately before testing it. Sysadmins shouldn't be forced to make undocumented changes to their setups to make something work again that worked fine before. Hopefully apple gets this resolved ASAP.

same thing here. The workaround doesn't work for me because i need to connect to a university-network, that i, personally, can't configure.
surprisingly it worked once! i don't know why but suddenly i was connected to the WLAN, so i could switch on the VPN client (cisco ipsec). will apple fix this problem soon? or can i downgrade? nice effects and no multitasking (ipod touch 2g) cannot compete with a working VPN client...
