      Has anyone seen this issue. I'm running 1.2.2 and setup the shrewsoft vpn client and configured the firewall.
      The VPN connects but i keep getting these errors below and its not passing any traffic. I have setup the exact same vpn on version 1.2.3 with no issues. Does anyone know of a workaround for this other than upgrading?

        That isn't really an error, per se, but a warning. It is normal if you are using Aggressive mode, if I recall correctly.

        Your problem is likely elsewhere, not with that message.
