        @swiss If the log entries do not provide sufficient detail, one thing you can do is run a packet canpture on the VPN interface vor TCP port 179 and use wireshark to show you exactly what is being sent that your side does not like. Then you have something to either accommodate in your configuration or ask the other side to stop doing.

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!
