Apple's iOS 9 Breaks VPNs

Posted by timothy on from the but-I-love-my-central-posterior-nucleus dept.

An anonymous reader writes with a report from The Stack that researchers have discovered a crucial security problem in the latest version of iOS 9: it breaks VPN connections to corporate servers. According to the linked piece, "The flaw was first detected in the iOS 9 beta, and has not been fixed in the released version. Neither has the bug been removed in the current iOS 9.1 beta." The workaround might not be what you want to hear, either, if you've happily upgraded to the latest version: it's to downgrade to iOS 8.4.1.

    We're using Cisco's VPNs at the office and I've not observed it to be broken under iOS 9. Ditto for a colleague of mine.

    FTA "Most notable is that when doing split tunneling, the Tunnel All DNS option no longer functions as expected."

    your setup maybe using public dns or published apps like Citrix.
