      I am struggling. I am trying to get a VPN going between my local pfSENSE box and AWS. I've used openVPN for years, but have no experience with IPSec (just docs I have read).

      I'm not sure if the problem is on pfSense end or AWS end. AWS seems pretty straight-forward, follow there configuration file and it should work. I will attach pfSense configs below and AWS config.

      Any help would be appreciated!

        AWS logs are needed. What I see is PF is sending packets and not getting any response to them. it is possible that aws does not receive anything

        and I don't quite understand your phase-2 settings.

        what kind of traffic should be sent to the tunnel?

          My goal is to use this as my main gateway to the internet for a routable /24 (23.170.184.0) IP block and IPv6. I just have a simple test interface for now, to just get the link up (or so I thought). I use 8.8.8.8 for ping, as I don't have an EC2 to ping.

          Logs attached from AWS: aws-log.txt
