I’m very sorry but I forgot to mention that I uploaded the full log file of the connection attempt here: https://pastebin.com/WeqEwSwF <https://pastebin.com/WeqEwSwF>

Thanks,

I used the following how-to to configure the server: https://raymii.org/s/tutorials/IPSEC_vpn_with_Ubuntu_16.04.html <https://raymii.org/s/tutorials/IPSEC_vpn_with_Ubuntu_16.04.html> with the exception that I’m using a server at home but the router has port forwarding enabled and a static route set. I think that’s not the problem otherwise the communication with the server wouldn’t work at all.
