Not trying to muddy the waters, but I think it depends on what Auth method you're using. If you're using cert-based auth with IKEV2 I don't think that there's any way to send an ID. On the other hand, if you're using IPSEC with a pre-shared key, I think you can coerce the selection of a different connection.
It would definitely be interesting to get some definitive input and validated testing on this!

I can't configure Windows 10 to send remote id (leftid) for IKEv2 You can set the ID in windows 10 if you go through the options for the connection you will see it. Not near a computer otherwise I’d get you the instructions. On 26 Sep 2018, at 02:30, bls s <bls3...@outlook.com> wrote: I'm curious about this as well. From my work on pistrong (see elsewhere), it looks to me like Windows doesn't have a way to send an ID that you can use for matching. I haven't tried this, but you might be able to make it work by using a separate "VPN certificate" for the Windows connection that has an altname in it corresponding to a secondary DNS name for your server. You can then have Windows connect to the secondary DNS name and, in theory, it would eventually match that connection. Again, just a theory, I'm definitely interested in other approaches to solving this.

I can't configure Windows 10 to send remote id (leftid) for IKEv2 Hello, I have a strongSwan server running with the ipsec.conf pasted below. The clients are using Windows 10 and macOS and they must be able to choose connection. I am trying to separate the connections using "leftid" with different subdomains for each connection (e.g. vpn1.example.org, vpn2.example.org). My solution below works in macOS by matching "Remote ID" with the appropriate "leftid", however I can't get it to work in Windows 10. I am very grateful to any help or ideas of how I can solve this. ipsec.conf -------------- conn %default auto=add dpdaction=clear dpddelay=180s eap_identity=%any esp=aes256-sha256,aes256-sha1,3des-sha1! forceencaps=yes ike=aes256-sha1-modp1024,aes128-sha1-modp1024,3des-sha1-modp1024! keyexchange=ikev2 leftcert=cert.pem leftsendcert=always rightauth=eap-mschapv2 rightsendcert=never conn conn1 left=%any leftid=@vpn1.example.org leftsubnet=0.0.0.0/0 right=%any rightid=%any rightdns=8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4 rightsourceip=10.10.10.1/24 conn conn2 left=%any leftid=@vpn2.khalili.xyz leftsubnet=0.0.0.0/0 right=%any rightid=%any rightdns=8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4 rightsourceip=10.10.10.2/24
