[strongSwan] Security Associations (0 up, 1 connecting)

[Rod Simioni]

Hi,

I just compiled Linux strongSwan U5.5.1/K4.4.0-45-generic on my ubuntu
14.04 and I'm trying to connect to my VPN which I am the FW admin.

I'm getting this when I do a 'ipsec status' "Security Associations (0 up, 1
connecting)"
and I'm not able to access my VPN.

Below is the contents of ipsec.conf:

config setup


conn hq
        authby=secret
        auto=start
        type=tunnel
        left=%any
        right=99.xx.xx.xx
        # rightauth=psk
        # rightauth2=xauth
        rightsubnet=192.168.1.0/24
        # ikev2=no
        esp=aes256-sha1,modp1536


Below are the contents of my ipsec.secrets

@user_1 : XAUTH  "password"
%any  99.xx.xx.xx    : PSK "ThePSKpassword"

Below are meaningful contents of syslog:

Nov 28 10:54:26 ubuntu charon: 06[IKE] retransmit 5 of request with message
