iOS client stuck in "Connecting"

[118-sethshadow]

Hi,

I've been trying to establish a connection from an iOS device to the sample server you put out. The server is set on a linux environment, and based on the ip addr show command, tun0 notes the ip address as 10.8.0.1, so I've put that as the server address. Is that the address to use, or is it something else?

I've confirmed via debugger that startTunnel is getting called, and the whole process goes through. I haven't changed any of the other parameters for NETunnelProviderProtocol.

I've also run netstat to confirm port 54345's standing, and it does show up in the list of outputted ports so I'm assuming it's open.

One thing when I run the linux server is that there are writing actions to UDP and tun being performed before I even attempt a connection from the iOS client.

I'm still very new to setting up a vpn server-client connection so I'm not sure what I could've missed in this setup. Please help.

Negative, you should put public IP address as the server address, use command ifconfig and fine that out, see https://www.iplocation.net/public-vs-private-ip-address as reference. I also have a blog post in here: https://post.lxd.me/a-simple-vpn-tunnel-with-tun-device-demo-and-some-basic-concepts, hope can help you better understand tunneling logic.
