iOS 8 Vs iOS 9

The VPN setup is slightly improved in iOS 9. You can still use the iOS 8 instructions which involves creating a 'profile', or you can use the instructions below which involve sending the certificate to the iDevice and then configuring the VPN though the settings manually.

The notes below are based from an iPad, but an iPhone will work in the same way.
