hope you are doing well.
I am trying to connect a Mikrotik RB2011RM to Strongswan running on a cloud server. I cannot get past Phase 1.
I have searched through google and found some great examples and still cannot figure out what is the problem. Right now I have an example from Strongswan setup will no luck still.
Hoping someone can help me figure out what I am doing wrong.
Here are the particulars:
The RB2011 is on my home network and the Strongswan is on a VPS at a 3rd party provider. I have gone down to simple PSK auth to try to get it to work.
StrongSwan ipsec.conf:
