IPSec VPN - no connection has been authorized with policy=PUBKEY

ErikFranzen

My IPSec VPN tunnels suddenly disconnected yesterday. I checked why and could not determine the cause. I have regenerated the VPN signing CA but no sucess. An checked and rechecked the settings.

I am still getting the error: "initial Main Mode message received on <remote gateway IP adress> but no connection has been authorized with policy=PUBKEY"

What have I missed? Why did it suddenly dropped? What to do?

Just upgraded from 9.351-2(?) to 9.351-3, nothing changed.

    On both UTM:s I deleted both Connections and remote gateways. Created new RSA keys and reconfigured. But still "initial Main Mode message received on <responder UTM IP address>:500 but no connection has been authorized with policy=PUBKEY " in the responders UTM log

    Wow, I solved it. This issue have puzzled me almost the whole day. Finally, I checked the external IP adress for my UTM VPN initiator using a internet web page and compared it with the external IP address in the web gui . They were not the same!
    I am connected to the Internet using a LTE modem. After restarting the modem, the VPN tunnel automatically connected!


    Thanks for the help.
