[vpn-help] unable to solve "received peer INVALID-ID-INFORMATION notification

[Martien van Overeem]

Hello Alexis,

Thank you so much for taking time to read my problem. Based on your analysis result I have looked into the LRT214 router logs and also the Syslog results, however without any indication why the router was sending Invalid ID. Knowing that I had to find a solution at the Gateway, not the client side, I have tried to change the VPN settings in the LRT214 router in the VPN, Client to Gateway menu. Originally I had set Local Group Setup to IP address only as I have in mind to connect via the VPN tunnel directly to the server PC on LAN address 172.16.1.30 Once I changed the Local Group Setup to Subnet, IP 172.16.1.0, subnet mask 255.255.255.0 I was able to get the VPN tunnel connected and established.
So far, so good, but.... I had in mind to use the VPN tunnel to connect to my server PC, not to my entire LAN. Moreover, my server application requires to be connected via port 8080 and I had to open this port in the router to get access to the server but doing so, everyone who knows my hostname and this port number can get access via internet to my server now not even using a VPN tunnel connection, something that I intended to block with a VPN tunnel. Although this is not completely true, you need to have an account name and password to get into the server.
I hope you understand what I mean and even better have some tips and tricks for me to use to make the connection to the server really save.
Again, thanks a lot for you help, I am looking forward to your reaction,

with kind regards,
Martien

Hi Martien,

  Dear help list members,
  After over 80 hours of trying to solve a problem which I experience at setting up a VPN tunnel with my LRT214 VPN router and the Shrew VPN access manager, I hope one of you can help me. I have attached the required logs in the compressed folder. I have also prepared a pdf file with screen shots of the LRT214 setup and all menu windows of the Access Manager but this file is too big to be accepted by the help-list admin. I will be happy to send this file directly to anyone who thinks he or she can help me.
  At the gateway side I have an LRT214 router and the target PC connected, running W7
  I use the VPN client version 2.2.2. which runs on my desktop PC with W10 OS

  It would be a great thing for me if I can get the problem solved as I intend to use the VPN tunnel for safe communication between some hospitals and doctors in Nicaragua.
