IKEv2 on iOS

IKEv2 is an excellent choice for iOS devices, offering fast speeds and automatic reconnection when switching networks.

Built-in iOS Support

iOS has native IKEv2 support built into the system - no additional apps required! This means you can set up IKEv2 VPN directly through iOS Settings with complete integration into the operating system.

Prefer the easy way?

The VPNBaron app for iOS handles all of this automatically. Baron Pathfinder picks the best protocol for your network (VLESS Reality, Hysteria2, or IKEv2), and you never need to enter VPN credentials.

Before You Start

Log in at vpnbaron.com and open the IKEv2 page. You’ll need two things from it:

• Your VPN credentials: the card at the top shows your VPN Username and Password, with copy and reveal buttons. These are separate from your website login.
• A server address: pick one from the list on the same page.

iOS Setup Guide

1. Access VPN Settings Go to Settings > General > VPN & Device Management > VPN > Add VPN Configuration.

2. Configure VPN Settings Enter the following details:

   • Type: IKEv2
   • Server: (a server address from the IKEv2 page)
   • Remote ID: (the same server address, exactly as entered above)
   • User Authentication: Username
   • Username: (your VPN username from the IKEv2 page)
   • Password: (your VPN password from the IKEv2 page)

3. Complete Setup Tap Done to save the configuration.

4. Connect to VPN Select the newly created VPN configuration and toggle the VPN switch to connect.

Troubleshooting

If you can’t connect:

• Verify your VPN username and password on the IKEv2 page. They are not the same as your website login
• Ensure the Server and Remote ID match exactly
• Check your internet connection
• Try connecting to a different server location
