Hi Stephen, I believe the issue might be caused as the "conn" section is not compliant with prescribed format. There should be at least one whitespace at the beginning of each line within the section. Only sections can and shall start at the first character of the line.
Supposed correction: *conn VPN-OFFICE-COM* * keyexchange=ikev1* *type=transport* *authby=secret* *ike=3des-sha1-modp1024* *rekey=no* *left=%defaultroute* *leftprotoport=udp/l2tp* *right=vpn.office.com <http://vpn.office.com>* *rightprotoport=udp/l2tp* *rightid=17.11.7.5* *auto=add* Regards, Miroslav Message: 3 Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2015 14:08:57 +0100 From: "Stephen Feyrer" <stephen.fey...@btinternet.com> To: users@lists.strongswan.org Subject: Re: [strongSwan] /etc/strongswan.d/VPN.conf:1: syntax error, unexpected NAME, expecting NEWLINE or '{' or '=' [vpn] Message-ID: <op.xw8ms7kfx77...@sveta.home.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed; delsp=yes Hi Neol, Thank you. I have removed the file /etc/strongswan.d/VPN.conf In /etc/ipsec.conf I have the same configuration. At least there is progress, unfortunately I am still baffled. This is the previously working configuration. code: # ipsec.conf - strongSwan IPsec configuration file # basic configuration config setup # strictcrlpolicy=yes # uniqueids = no conn VPN-OFFICE-COM keyexchange=ikev1 type=transport authby=secret ike=3des-sha1-modp1024 rekey=no left=%defaultroute leftprotoport=udp/l2tp right=vpn.office.com rightprotoport=udp/l2tp rightid=17.11.7.5 auto=add Having restarted ipsec, I get the following result code: # ipsec up VPN-OFFICE-COM initiating Main Mode IKE_SA VPN-OFFICE-COM[1] to 17.11.7.5 generating ID_PROT request 0 [ SA V V V V ] sending packet: from 1.2.3.4[500] to 17.11.7.5[500] (212 bytes) received packet: from 17.11.7.5[500] to 1.2.3.4[500] (116 bytes) parsed ID_PROT response 0 [ SA V V ] received draft-ietf-ipsec-nat-t-ike-02\n vendor ID received FRAGMENTATION vendor ID generating ID_PROT request 0 [ KE No NAT-D NAT-D ] sending packet: from 1.2.3.4[500] to 17.11.7.5[500] (244 bytes) received packet: from 17.11.7.5[500] to 1.2.3.4[500] (304 bytes) parsed ID_PROT response 0 [ KE No V V V V NAT-D NAT-D ] received Cisco Unity vendor ID received XAuth vendor ID received unknown vendor ID: [Available On Request] received unknown vendor ID: [Available On Request] local host is behind NAT, sending keep alives generating ID_PROT request 0 [ ID HASH N(INITIAL_CONTACT) ] sending packet: from 1.2.3.4[4500] to 17.11.7.5[4500] (84 bytes) received packet: from 17.11.7.5[4500] to 1.2.3.4[4500] (84 bytes) parsed ID_PROT response 0 [ ID HASH V ] received DPD vendor ID IKE_SA VPN-OFFICE-COM[1] established between 1.2.3.4[1.2.3.4]...17.11.7.5[17.11.7.5] generating QUICK_MODE request [Available On Request] [ HASH SA No ID ID NAT-OA NAT-OA ] sending packet: from 1.2.3.4[4500] to 17.11.7.5[4500] (220 bytes) received packet: from 17.11.7.5[4500] to 1.2.3.4[4500] (180 bytes) parsed QUICK_MODE response [Available On Request] [ HASH SA No ID ID N((24576)) NAT-OA ] received 28800s lifetime, configured 0s no acceptable traffic selectors found establishing connection 'VPN-OFFICE-COM' failed -- Kind regards Stephen Feyrer
