Morten,
Can you open a web browser within your ec2 instance and go to ipchicken?
Does the ip it detects match the static ip you assigned to the ec2 instance?

Morten – this sure sounds like your provider is intending for you to
establish a “site-to-site” tunnel between network equipment, as opposed to
a “client-to-gateway” connection. If it were the latter, than the provider
would be telling you how to make that connection and what client software
to use.****

Hi,****
** **
I'm pretty new to VPN so I am looking for much appreciated help.****
** **
We need to connect to an external system/API, which requires a
VPN-connection.****
From the provider we have received information on the ip address on the
VPN peer and a preshared key. Further we had to give them our public ip in
order to restrict connections from just our ip.****
** **
I setup an AWS EC2 Instance (Windows) and installed Shrew Soft VPN. I am
then trying to connect to their ip with the preshared key using IPSec, but
the only thing showing up is:****
** **
bringing up tunnel ...****
negotiation timout occurred****
tunnel disabled****
** **
One thing I notice in the VPN Trace tool is that "Destination" is our
servers private ip address and not the public ip address that we gave them.
****
On AWS EC2, it does not seem possible to register the network interface
with the public ip. Is there a way to override this destination ip?****
** **
How can I debug this further?****
Hi Morten,
So your EC2 has a private IP and is NATted to a public IP on the way
out? Have you tried playing with the NAT settings in the Shrew client
Site Configuration?
