How to setup IKEv2 or L2TP service on the Android Phone

We offer L2TP and IKEv2 on various servers. Please consult your setup email or let us know if you need the latest L2TP and IKEv2 list

Initial Setup:

For IKEv2 install the Strong Swan App, from the Google Play Store.  Then within the App select IKEv2/IPsec VPN

Go to ‘Settings’
Select ‘Wireless Controls’
Select ‘VPN Settings’
Select ‘Add VPN’

For L2TP, Select ‘L2TP/IPSEC PSK VPN’
Enter a descriptive name at ‘Set a VPN name’
Enter the server name we provide to you at ‘Set VPN’
For L2TP, enter the IPSEC preshared key we sent you in the setup email. Do not check the L2TP secret box.
Press ‘Menu’ and ‘Save’

You might be asked to set a password for storage of the preshared key. If so, pick a password. This allows the key to be saved and not require it to be entered each time. Be sure to write down the password for future reference.

To connect:

Go to ‘Settings’
Select ‘Wireless Controls’
Connect to the network name you entered above
Enter your user name and password
Click on ‘Connect’
A key icon will appear indicating that you are connected
