[vpn-help] Connecting to Zywall - Tunnel established, routing broken?

Hello Ralf,

which ZyWALL device are you connecting to ?

I tried a few times to (not only Shrew, GreenBow too) configure IPSEC tunnel(s), using zywall 5, 35 or usg300,
only to be beaten by phase2 error - i.e. i could not enter tunnel-client settings compatible
with zywall; it was looking like zywall had to have phase2 id == ipsec client policy or else
connection was ended by gateway due to phase1 timeout or phase2 id mismatch.
(yes it was long ago and I found my way without using ipsec vpn, but still interested why I failed)

Would you share your configuration idea please ?

Lukasz
