Really struggling getting L2TP VPN working on a IPhone 9 with ver 11.2.6 on it ( PPTP on android is fine )

Can I get Open VPN on this router yet ?

Thank you

There is no open VPN for this model yet

L2TP over IPsec works fine though, below are the steps

1. Login to the router
2. Click on 'VPN >> VPN Account'
3. Add a name for your reference
4. Enter a username/password this will be used for authentication
5. Make sure the 'Tunnel' is enabled and 'Connection Type' is set to 'Remote Accecss'
6. Click on 'Add'
7. Click on 'IPSec'
8. Click on 'Add'
9. Enable 'L2TP over IPSec'
10. Enter a Connection Name for your reference
11. Tick the 'Anonymous' option for 'Remote Security Gateway'
12. Enter a 'Pre-Shared Key' this will be used for the tunnel
13. Click on 'Apply'
14. You will be reverted back to the 'IPSec' page
15. Enable 'NAT Traversal' and click on 'Apply'
16. Click on 'L2TP >> L2TP Server'
17. Enable 'L2TP'
18. WAN Interface should be 'Default or IPSec Tunnel'
19. Auth.Type = Chap
20. IP Addresses Assigned to Peer = a IP address outside the DHCP range eg 192.168.1.200
21. Click on 'Apply'

Add a new connection on your Iphone as shown on the attached screen shot

If I get problems I will get a screen shot of the options we have

If it works with the Samsung note it should be fine, (it works here with a iphone)

Delete the port forwarding rules they are not needed.

Try setting up a less complex password for the secret and password for the VPN account (no special characters)

Working L2TP at last
I had to upgrade iPhone to 11.4.1 delete VPN settings then reload VPN settings to get it to work
( tried the reload with 11.4 & it didn't work )
Thank you billion_fan for your help
