Just came across the following that no doubt will be of interest to the PfSense community.
--- OpenVPN for iOS http://blog.michael.kuron-germany.de/2013/01/openvpn-for-ios/ Just wanted to let everyone know that the OpenVPN Connect client for iOS has just been released and is now available in the app store. This is an official Apple-sanctioned OpenVPN client developed by OpenVPN Technologies in collaboration with Apple. The client is based on the new C++ OpenVPN core that is also used in the OpenVPN Connect client for Android. The C++ core is a portable, lightweight class library for building OpenVPN clients and is 100% protocol-compatible with the 2.x branch. OpenVPN Connect is not based on the classic GPL OpenVPN software (supposedly GPL and App Store are not compatible), but supposed to be fully compatible with any OpenVPN server running version 2.1 or higher (including IPv6 support with servers running the recently-released version 2.3). Supposedly it can even be managed using the “Custom SSL” option in iPhone Configuration Utility. Two points I’d like to mention which might temporarily disappoint some people: • It currently requires client certificates (but the help promises that that’ll change soon). • Layer 2 tap interfaces are not supported. As I noted in my VPN API blog post, iOS provides a utun interface, which only does layer 3. Go check it out on the App Store or have a look at Gert Döring’s Google+ post.
