      Hi there,

      We're trying to setup an IPSEC tunnel between a Pfsense box and a Checkpoint firewall.

      On both sides the settings are the same for phase 1 and 2 (3des, MD5) .

      Still the tunnel does not go online.

      Pfsense is showing the following error.
      –---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Mar 16 14:58:29 racoon: [Datacenter_naar_Ipsec]: INFO: initiate new phase 1 negotiation: 217.67.249.2[500]<=>213.208.214.108[500]

      –---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Nokia coming up with this error.

      IKE: Main Mode no common authentication methods between myself and peer (PFsense)

      Is there anyone who succesfully setup an ipsec connection between Pfsense and Checkpoint ?

      Thanks in advance!

        okee,

        changed all the settings to des, sha1.

        checkpoint giving the following error in the logs.

        IKE: Main Mode Failed to match proposal: Transform: 3DES, MD5, Pre-shared secret, Group2 (1024 bit) Reason: Wrong value for: Encryption Algorithm

        Pfsense still the same error.

        Anyone a solution  ???

          Set up a tunnel between Pfsense and a Windows machine, that works like a charm.

          Why not between pfsense and checkpoint  :(

            Got the tunnel up after playing with the settings and upgrading to 1.3.3.

            Only traffic flows just from one site to the other not in reverse i think al the traffic get natted.

            Can't adjust any settings on the checkpoint site tommorow i check it out.
