      I can't connet the IPsec when my pfsense connet to Zyxel firewall!!!!
      is it "My identifier" problem? can I use "user FQDN"?

      pfsense side network IP: unknown (Dynamic IP)
      Zyxel side network IP: know (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)

      I use aggressive mode, I mark xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx on the pfsense.

      ZyXEL Config:
      Encryption Algorithm: 3DES
      Authentication Algorithm: MD5
      SA Life Time (Seconds): 28800
      Key Group: DH2
      Pre-Shared Key: it is the key
      Enable Replay Detection: Yes
      Enable Multiple Proposals: Yes

      pfsense Config:
      Encryption algorithm: 3DES
      Hash algorithm: MD5
      DH key group: 2
      Authentication method: Pre-shared Key
      Pre-Shared Key: it is the key
      Protocol: ESP
      Encryption algorithms: 3DES
      Hash algorithms: MD5
      PFS key group: 2

      ps: if Zyxel connet pfsense, use Aggressive, use same config, is ok~~~

        You should use an identifier other than ip for the pfSense end. However this identifier has to be added to the zyxel to identify/authenticate the connection. Check your Zyxel manpage how to do this and what identifiers are supported.

            Don't use IP address, it is dynamic. Try other identifier types.
