IPSec VPN setup with Active Directory

Hi, I have set an IPSec VPN connection and successfully connected using a local user account. Problem is I am unable to get it to connect using an AD login. The errors is "User Authentication Failed"

I have a SSL VPN connection that does successfully connect using AD to authenticate. 

Any ideas as to why AD does not work?

Also when I google what is my IP address, on my SSL VPN connection the IP is my Sophos WAN IP but on the IPSec one is is my local ISP IP address, 

Why is this?

    Hi and thanks for reaching out to Sophos Community.

    Ensure that your AD is selected in IPSEC authentication methods (Authentication > Services)

    Are you using the Sophos connect client for IPSEC VPN or just the Legacy IPSec Remote Access policy?

    If you're using Sophos Connect, Make sure that Default gateway configuration is enabled.

  • Thanks, when I check that I can see LAN devices but I cannot connect to the internet. 

    When I disable 'use a default gateway' it connects to the internet.

    I am using a spare IP address so do I need to do anything else to allow it to connect to the WAN.

    My SSL VPN was using my main WAN IP address, could I set up the IPSec VPN on the same IP?
