Description:

This document describes the configuration steps required to set up a VPN connection between an iPad/iPhone/iPod and a LANCOM router using the LANCOM myVPN application.

Requirements:

LCOS as of version 8.62 (download latest version)
LANtools as of version 8.62 (download latest version)
Apple iPad/iPhone/iPod with iOS 4.1 or later
LANCOM myVPN application, which must be installed on the iPad/iPhone/iPod. The myVPN application is available in the Apple AppStore.

Scenario:

This example is for configuring the following scenario:

An iPad/iPhone/iPod is connected to a public network (such as hotspot in a hotel) via WLAN.

If you are using an iPhone or iPad with the appropriate equipment, you can also use the medium 3G/4G to make the connection.

This public network and the Internet are to be used to set up an IPSec VPN-secured connection between the iPad/iPhone/iPod and a LANCOM router, which is operated in the local home or office network.

The VPN connection between the iPad/iPhone/iPod and the LANCOM router in the local home or office network is to be configured with the LANCOM myVPN application, which is installed on the iPad/iPhone/iPod.
