Problems configuring VPN on NethServer 6.8

NethServer Version: 6

Whatever i try, for the life of god i cnt get VPN to work!

This is a snippet from the log:

Feb 4 22:00:45 srv001 pluto[2018]: packet from <MYIP>:500: ignoring unknown Vendor ID payload [01528bbbc00696121849ab9a1c5b2a5100000001] Feb 4 22:00:45 srv001 pluto[2018]: packet from <MYIP>:500: ignoring Vendor ID payload [MS NT5 ISAKMPOAKLEY 00000009] Feb 4 22:00:45 srv001 pluto[2018]: packet from <MYIP>:500: received Vendor ID payload [RFC 3947] Feb 4 22:00:45 srv001 pluto[2018]: packet from <MYIP>:500: ignoring Vendor ID payload [draft-ietf-ipsec-nat-t-ike-02_n] Feb 4 22:00:45 srv001 pluto[2018]: packet from <MYIP>:500: received Vendor ID payload [FRAGMENTATION] Feb 4 22:00:45 srv001 pluto[2018]: packet from <MYIP>:500: ignoring Vendor ID payload [MS-Negotiation Discovery Capable] Feb 4 22:00:45 srv001 pluto[2018]: packet from <MYIP>:500: ignoring Vendor ID payload [Vid-Initial-Contact] Feb 4 22:00:45 srv001 pluto[2018]: packet from <MYIP>:500: ignoring Vendor ID payload [IKE CGA version 1] Feb 4 22:00:45 srv001 pluto[2018]: packet from <MYIP>:500: initial Main Mode message received on <SERVERIP>:500 but no connection has been authorized with policy PSK+IKEV1_ALLOW
And this is the latest tutorial i followed:
http://wiki.nethserver.org/doku.php?id=howto:howto_set_up_a_vpn

i tried the handbook version as well…
This is getting more and more irritating, i have forwarded the ports in the manual (both 1707 and 1707, i suppose there’s a typo in the howto) and i even got as far as installing v7, but this got me even more headache :frowning:

SOO after some googling most sites refer to a nat_traversal option that should be set to yes. So i logged in to my Server by SSH, only to found that the admin user has absolutely NO rights, is unable to use /sbin/su or /sbin/sudo and so i had to logon to the site and enable root login. THATS NOT WHAT I WANT! only to find that this option is allready set (well thats a good thing i suppose)

So… yes, im frustrated. And im a VERY long way from migrating to nethserver if this shit is what i get :frowning:

Would you mind providing a bit more information?
Are you running NS in a vm, or on its own box? Are you using it as your firewall?

I will get back to this onmore detail, but atm i am running Nethserver on ProxMox, as a standalone SBS replacement, not as a firewall or anything…
