Hi
Thank you very much for your links. I checked out the tutorials in the first two. They are very similar to the third one I tried. However I still have the same result.
"[IKE] ERROR: couldn't find configuration."
No matter which tutorial I follow, it ends up giving me this error. I think that is very suspicious.I didn't try the last link yet, since it needs an extra client and will not solve my ios problem.
