      I am trying to build a VPN tunnel between a Sonicwall PRO 230 and a pfSense box and I'm having a problem finding a compatible set of Phase 2 Proposals.

      Here are my options on the Sonicwall box:

      The problem is that the Phase two settings on the sonicwall all include an HMAC authentication package that I cannot find where to turn on within pfSense.

      Can anyone point me to where HMAC settings are stored on pfsense, or tell me a good set of phase 1 / phase 2 IPSec proposals that will work between these two devices?

        At least I assume it's an incompatile phase 2 authentication.

        What phSense shows in its log:

          IN the intrest of completion, I got the two to connect by the folllowing:

          Open TCP port 500 on the WAN port of pfSense in the firewall then:

          Both:
          Phase one Main Mode / Group 2 / 3DES / SHA1

          **SonicWall:**Phase two ESP / 3DES / HMAC / SHA1 (PFS Off)

          **pfSense:**Phase two ESP / 3DES / Blowfish / SHA1 (PFS Off)
