Use CudaLaunch to automatically push and manage VPN profiles on iOS devices. For more information, see CudaLaunch.

Companies with a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policy cannot rely on MDM to manage and push out the VPN configuration to the users' smartphones and tablets. The Barracuda CloudGen Firewall mobile portal allows users to automatically install the VPN configurations on their iOS devices by clicking the provisioning link in the mobile portal.

Self-provision the Built-in IPsec Client

  1. Log into the web portal with your iOS device.
  2. Go to My Options and tap Settings.
