Hello David, Yes, that shows that it is working.

I did a bit more checking and found references to "ip xfrm policy list" and "ip xfrm state list" as possible sources of the confirmation of operation I am seeking. I ran these commands with the VPN up and have attached the output of these commands. I am not trained in reading these reports, but what I see does appear to indicate that the VPN is indeed functioning and handling the traffic as requested. If someone who is trained could confirm this for me I would appreciate it. DaveNoel Kuntze wrote: Hello David, strongSwan by default builds policy based tunnels, not route based tunnels. Thus no interface is needed or created. Read up on how IPsec works on the wiki to get an understanding for it. GUI indicators are not inherently related to if any tunnel exists, or works.

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
