      I am receiving this error on my VPN connection.  I am kinda new to pfsense so if you ask for logs tell me how to find them.  I can tell you the setup I have matched between a sonicwall firewall and 2.0 pfsense as close as I possible can.  Here is my log if anyone has any ideas.

      The last entry

      ERROR: exchange Identity Protection not allowed in any applicable rmconf.

      Will scroll forever if I leave it alone

      I admin both sides of the VPN so if anyone has any ideas I would love to try.  I googled this error and got 4 results that didnt help so I posted here.

        IIRC that's a mismatch in Main/Aggressive mode between the two ends.
