[Solved] iPhone Remote Access to instance in Amazon EC2

I'm experimenting with configuring Mail Security in the cloud. Yesterday, I had occasion to connect my iPhone to our physical Astaro with L2TP over IPsec in order to use WebAdmin, so I decided to set up the same capability with my ASG in the cloud...

I can't see a way around the following IP problem with an IPsec-based Remote Access method - can anyone else?

My first try with PPTP also was fruitless. I can't figure out how it's possible to VPN from an iPhone to an ASG instance in Amazon EC2 - ideas?

PS The problem was solved in V9.1 with the introduction of support for the OpenVPN app.
