      Hello,

      I'm trying to connect to PFSense routers with an IPSEC S2S but am getting this error.

      Nov 24 13:10:34 charon 59062 06[IKE] <2> no IKE config found for x.x.x.x...x.x.x.x, sending NO_PROPOSAL_CHOSEN. I have set them up as follows:

      Both routers are internet facing, not behind NAT.

      Office 82.71.x.x:
      Phase 1
      9260be7d-e9d4-48bc-903a-dc54b46244e5-image.png

      Phase 2
      463c719d-c20f-4639-9ecd-a28567a61896-image.png

      Home 82.69.x.x:
      Phase 1
      6f99e4d3-5760-4555-8e07-b9831e699bfc-image.png

      Phase 2:
      23b7c927-a05e-40e9-a0ee-b0da0f3bf52d-image.png

      What I noticed was strange was the auto VPN rules didn't work, they were blocking the traffic so I added these:
      47b6e226-189c-497b-ae8a-569ef770a171-image.png
      Which then allowed communication, where it previously just timed out. Should it point to the WAN address?

      They're both on 2.7.1, updated earlier today. Any help, pointers or advice would be greatly appreciated as I'm lost for things to try. They're on the default settings now just to try eliminate any mismatches.

      Thanks,

      Ant

        @anthony-breen U don't need to open ports in your WANs for IPSEC, pfsense once u setup the connection, he will open port 500/4500, this case just in necesary for ovpn and wg.

        About your issue, if u have 2 pfsense for the p2p, try add more algo in phase1.

        Regards.

          @periko Hello,

          I thought the same about the auto rules, will disable the manual ones I've created & try again... 🤞🏻🤞🏻

            @anthony-breen If are trying to work with other brand, add more algo in phase 1 and phase 2, if u don't have the doc where u can see what algo he need u need to do reverse eng. Add more, maybe he is searching for less secure algorithms.

            The only issue is that if u are in pfsense 2.7.x and they request less secure algorithms, U will be not be able to make work.
