Hi,
I was playing around with Shrewsoft VPN client and our UTM (latest version). I have a few observations with this.
1. If you purely use "Preshared key" (without Xauth), a user can connect to the UTM and it is recorded in the log file. Problem is, It does not show up in the GUI anywhere eg nothing under online users or in the reporting etc. If you switch on PSK and Xauth, it works as it should. This isn't good if you are trying to keep an eye on who connects.
2. Using Shrewsoft VPN client will result in an error " can't establish IPSEC SA because nothing is known about 0.0.0.0/0" and the vpn can't be established. However, if you place "any" into allowed local networks on the UTM for this connection, it works. Full access with no issues. Try and tighten it down a little by restricting the network eg 10.1.1.0/24, and it doesn't work.
3. By doing the above (and without adding any automatic firewall rules) the remote user has full unrestricted access to the network which isn't good either.
4. If I add a firewall rule (and place it at the top) with the vpn ipsec pool as the source, service any, destination any, BLOCK, it doesn't make any difference. Traffic still gets through. Tried all sorts of combinations here and nothing works.
