iOS 4.3 breaks VPN ---------------------------------------------+++++++++++

Starting from iOS 4.3, we can't connect VPN as previous iOS versions.

Just search the issue on google, seems there are lots of people has the same issue like me.

The same VPN settings works perfectly on iOS 4.1, 4.2.1 and windows 7, etc.

Wish apple can fix the issue in verion 4.3.1

mac air, Mac OS X (10.6.6)

Same here. But if I try a few times, it works. But this is really annoying.

I have the same issue, I use an IPSEC vpn on an iPhone and iPad.

Before ios 4.3 all was fine on both devices. Now it only works if I use the IP address, it seems to have killed the DNS in VPN.

Guess what 4.3.1 kills the whole VPN thing DEAD.

Well this stinks. Add me to the list of those that cannot connect on 4.3.1 (iPad) using PPTP.

I tried using the IP for the server address as well but with no luck.

I suppose I should note that it worked perfectly on 4.2.1, and my iPhone on 4.2.1 can still connect so it's not my server.

one more to add to the list,ipsec.No SSL
same settings work on iphone3gs with 4.2.1
no good with ipad 4.3
no good with ipad 4.3.1
tried it at the apple shop with an ipad 4.2.1 and worked fine.
Normally accessing for the last 6 month, a citrix server ,exchange and intranet.
Note :VPN appears connected but can not see the servers.
strange enough I recall having the same issue with an earlier beta but it was sorted within days,this time nothing ...

I have to say, that since upgrading from 4.3 to 4.3.1 a week ago I can't reproduce a problem with ipsec vpn I had on 4.3. So seems like 4.3.1 fixed this for me.

Hi.

If your PPTP serer is CentOS5.5, please add below settings.

/etc/ppp/options.pptpd

default-asyncmap

it will works fine on 3G.

Best Regards.
