Whats your VPN Setting for "Clients will use this VPN connection to access:"?

Thank you mrmstn. Changing from "Auto" to "All sites on the Internet & Home Network" solved the problem on my iOS devices.
I am still struggling with the Mac, but I think the problem there is correct installations of the konfiguration files. Starting the VPN on the mac gives me repeating messages in the log "write to TUN/TAP: Input/output error (code=5) and my connection to the internet disrupts. I get an error message telling me the IP did not change.
