      Hello everyone!

      [This problem has been solved and now the VPN is working fine for iOS (9.2), OSX, Shrew VPN Client tester on Windows 7]

      I'm a brand new user of PfSense, i recently buy one SG-2220.
      The version of PfSense is 2.2.5

      With this tutorial, i was supposed to be able to create a VPN for Mac + iOS + Shrew VPN Client
      https://blog.andregasser.net/how-to-configure-ipsec-vpn-on-pfsense-for-use-with-iphone-ipad-android-windows-and-linux/

      The problem is.. except Mac OS, nothing works. Impossible to connect on Shrew. I don't care about iOS.

      Now i only need to figured out how to get it works on Windows.

      Phase 1

      EDIT: The problem was the key exchange which has to be set on V1.

      Phase 2

      IPSEC Advanced options:

      Shrew:

      If anyone understand why it doesn't work.. i tried a lot of things.

      Best regards

        I've found the first part of the problem.

        I changed the Key Exchange Version mode from Auto to V1, and now it's working great from Shrew on Windows 7 !

        But it's not working anymore from Mac OSX!

        How can i make that works for both ?

          Okay problem solved folks.

          The right configuration is:

          Key Exchange version: V1

          And on Mac OS, specify the "Peer identifier" in group name.

          The wrong configuration with Key Exchange version: Auto
          And no peer on OSX was resulting by OSX connecting to the VPN but not Shrew.

          And now everything is working on iOS, OSX, and Shrew VPN Client.

          Yay !

          Best regards

            Now i have another problem:
            Only one account can connect on the same time.

            I can't get OSX and Windows connected in the same time.

            Any idea ?
