LT2P/IPSec (IKEv2) Server - Recommend a router?

[davejuk]

I require an always-on VPN connection from my iPhone 6S (iOS 9.3.2) to my LAN.

iOS only supports always-on VPN using IKEv2 (the iPhone must be supervised through Apple Configurator). I cannot use OpenVPN because it would allow the client to disconnect and connect directly to the internet.

So I am left looking for a router with a LT2P/IPSec (IKEv2) VPN server.

Can you recommend a router?

Thanks

Hi, any router from ASUS models 68u or higher will do the job perfectly.
Their VPN server works great and you can have it work with your iOS without any issues.

Thanks for the reply.

You're sure it uses IKEv2 so I can connect through iOS for always-on VPN without using an app?

Here is literature for connecting on iOS

Again, it MUST be LT2P/IPSec (IKEv2) - I cannot use OpenVPN because it is an app, not an always-on VPN. Please refer to my original post.

If I could use OpenVPN then I could use any old router with a VPN server.

Just as a point of reference - what OP is looking for...

I'm thinking your best solution would be to run StrongSWAN on a machine inside, and port forward it out...

Correct, thanks for clarifying that.
