      Hello Guys,

      I'm trying to figure out why my VPN server is not working… I enabled IPsec under VPN --> IPsec, then I have created phase 1 (Attachment 1.png) in remote gateway I have added my firewall IP address which is configured in interface --> WAN -->  IPv4 Address. After this I have created phase 2 (attachment 2.png). Then I created new user under Pre-Shared Keys and under Firewall --> Rules --> IPsec I have enabled access to everything.

      And in theory everything should work (I think) but it doesn't - On my iPhone I'm getting "the VPN server did not respond", I quickly telnet to it and it looks like port 500 is closed.

      I can't see any logs under IPsec so my phone don't even hit IPsec.

      Any ideas what I have done wrong ?

      Thanks,
      Snort

        Hello Snort,

        I had to pass through the trail you'r actually walking only two weeks ago.

        you can find my actual and working configuration on my second reply on this post.
