VPN Configuration Profiles iOS4

Just installed iOS4 on my 3GS. I use configuration profiles (created with iPhone Configuration Utility 2.2) to setup my VPN and WIFI settings for two locations I go back and forth between (aka Home & Work). The WIFI profiles seem to be working fine, signing on to the WIFI network at each location just as they're supposed to; however, the VPN profiles don't seem to be working. I recreated the profiles and reinstalled them on the phone but the VPN toggle never shows up and no configurations are listed under "General > Network > VPN". I have reset the network settings and forcefully rebooted the phone to no avail. iOS4 bug?

Changing the second proposal to AES-128 worked for me on an NSA 4500.

I can also confirm switching from 3DES to AES-128 on a SonicWall TZ210 does the trick for the iPhone 4 running iOS 4.0.1.

Thanks everyone!

I can connect VPN via PPTP on iPhone 4 iOS4 to Draytek 2820n but not with L2TP. Not ideal but at least it works until Apple have resolved the issue.

I'm in the same boat as the rest of you. I hope Apple allows 3DES to work in a future iOS4 update.

I updated to 4.1 and L2TP VPN using 3DES still does not work !

I hate updates that reduce functionality...

I have also verified that running iOS4.1 fixes the aggressive mode issue. I can now connect to our Cisco VPN Server running ASA 8.2. We are running an Hybrid XAuth configuration with 3DES.

I really hope that apple addresses this issue soon. It ***** not being able to use public w-lan!
