OpenVPN Support Forum

Hi OVPN team group thanks for such a great piece of software you developed.

I have a issue trying to connect to a VPN Server with these requirements

Phase 1
Cipher Algorithm for Key Exchange AES

Message Digest Algorithm for Key Exchange MD5

Authentication Method (PreShareKey) generated

Diffie-Hellman Group for IKE 1

IKE SA Lifetime in minutes 1440


Phase 2
IPsec Type ESP

Cipher Algorithm AES

Message Digest Algoritm MD5

IPsec Tunnel Lifetime 60


i just cant make an ovpn file for these requirements can you please point me to a link or page with a sample of .ovpn file.

Sorry for a newbie question.

Thanks

your vpn server uses IPSec which is NOT openvpn compatible.

you will need an ipsec client to connect.

Thanks for your time Michel can I ignore or omit IPSec parameter and make connection with server anyway?

Thanks again

P.D. can i use another client that you recommend me Michel?

i want openvpn obviously but if i can't connect to server, if exist another option please let me know

can I ignore or omit IPSec parameter and make connection with server anyway?

IPSec is a DIFFERENT protocol so no you cant connect.

can i use another client that you recommend me Michel?

although IPSec is an IETF standard , many vendors implement it in different ways,
so the most wise choice would be to contact the owner of server and ask him
to provide you with an approoved client.
