Hello list,

I have a strongSwan server configured and using IKEv2 on my iOS device 
(9.3.1) works perfectly with IKEv2. When I use the same settings on my 
Mac when I configure IKEv2, I see the following messages in 
/var/log/system.log when I try to connect:

I see no connection attempt on the server at all.

Any idea what might be going? For the record, I have no other 
connection problems on this machine.

Thanks in advance!
