http://serverfault.com – I need to know how to establish VPN connection with Cisco VPN using vpnc on Centos 5.6. I can start the connection but after a period of time the vpnc process doesn't exist in the process list when run # pgrep vpnc I don't know is that because the connection itself goes down or what?...if so, then how can I make the connection permanent? The configuration file looks like this ## generated by pcf2vpnc IPSec ID xxxx IPSec gateway xx.xx.xx.xx IPSec secret xxxxx Xauth username xxxxxx Xauth password xxxxxx I tried the solution in this article here but that didn't solve the problem! Any one (HowTos)

I'm using pfSense 2.0 and have an IPsec VPN configured (which uses the Raccoon IPsec daemon).

I'm connecting to the VPN using my iPhone (iOS 5).

However, the iPhone doesn't allowing saving of XAuth username and passwords.

How secure is it to remove XAuth authentication (ie. blank password) and only use RSA certificate authentication?
