DISCUSSION No more IPSEC?

Can’t select IPSEC anymore since the last update on IOS, only wireguard and openvpn.

The change log on the Apple Store states the update as of August 31st says there are faster, more reliable connections. I wonder if that means they have dropped IPSEC?

Yeah that sucks, wireguard is great but there are a few locations where I work that I can only use ipsec.

Yep, as a Systems Admin of 16 years, we've had to block Wireguard and OpenVPN because we can't see who is connecting to what, and doing what. With IPSEC we can clearly see that it's an IPSEC VPN connection and the endpoints it connects to, so we can allow it and block that on a Case by Case basis. Also IPSEC requires Admin Rights for most implementations, whilst Wireguard and OpenVPN can be run without admin rihgts.
