I thought it might make sense to revisit this after the progress that has been made. It now appears that the connection is being established:

Unfortunately I am not seeing a tunnel interface being created and routing added:

In case it is needed for reference, here is the ipsec.conf on the server side:

Here is the connection definition from /etc/NewtorkManager/system-connections:

[connection]

[proxy]

The listed connection was created via the GUI.  I have screenshots of the four pages from the GUI available for email as they violate size restrictions of posting here..

As the VPN connection is already working with android and windows systems I want to make no changes to the ipsec.conf on the server. All changes should be made to the linux connection.

I can only assume there are revisions to be made, hopefully via the GUI.  Obviously if the GUI cannot address what is needed I can edit the connection directly.

Alternatively, am I misunderstanding what I am seeing and the tunnel is actually being established?  I see only the WiFi icon on the bar at the bottom of the screen just as I do when opening the WiFi connection.  With another VPN service, now discontinued, I showed a different icon indicating the secured tunnel was open.  This other discontinued service likewise created a tun interface and established a route via that interface.

If more information is required please let me know.

Dave
