IPsec with iOS

With your iPad or iPhone you can use Perfect Privacy VPN without additional software or apps. You just have to enter your login credentials in the appropriate tab in settings.

WARNING: Note that if you activate VPN while connected to WiFi, the VPN connection will drop once you lose the WiFi connection. It will not reconnect automatically. If you want a permanent VPN connection you should use On-Demand VPN.
