[vpn-help] Using Shrew Soft VPN with Slackware Linux

[Chris Rose Mathews]

Hi Andy

I've been fighting with a similar issue on Slack 13.1 for the last 2 
weeks and just succeeded in getting a bit further through the auth 
process. I also got a tap interface and the shrewsoft GUI reports a 
connection, but after multiple retries attempting to get a phase2 
Security Association it would drop.

Try this (mileage may vary, depending on your other settings):
In the Policy tab, Policy Generation = require, Maintain persistant = 
UNCHECKED, Obtain topology automatically = UNCHECKED. Add a Remote 
Network resource: For example if your internal network (the one you're 
trying to access has addresses such as 192.168.0.XXX then use the 
following values: 192.168.0.0 / 255.255.255.0

I've tried so many different configs now and most of the auto settings 
seem not to work for me.

Good luck
