      We are trying to setup a VPN tunnel between a Google cloud  VPC and a PFsense box.

      We found the following guide https://blog.paranoidsoftware.com/pfsense-ipsec-vpn-connection-to-azure-aws-and-google-cloud-2/

      This is the error we get on the pfsense side.

      We also changed the following as peer didn't accept DH group MODP_2048, it requested MODP_3072.

      Is there an official guide somewhere to setup ipsec to Google cloud?

      Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the above error is saying ?
