Getting SRX5308 VPN IPSec to work with Android (when using DynDNS)
Greetings, It appears that I can achieve a IPSec VPN Connection (both the Android device and the SRX5308 (with the latest firmware) confirm it), but there appears to be no traffic flowing through...

Questions, comments, difficulties?

Hmm, it's not liking that.
Here's the log output from attempting to VPN from one VLAN (VLAN 4) to another VLAN (VLAN 2) using a Google Pixel C:

Perhaps attempting to test it from one VLAN to another is causing the problem, and a trip to Starbucks is in order?

The Screenshot from the Instructions:
'Tis an unusual paradox. One must enable Mode Config to enable the use of XAUTH & Edge Device options. But the directions clearly state, and show, that Mode Config is NOT to be enabled.
The Instructions:
The Screenshot from the Instructions:
There is no Policy Type 'Responder' from the dropdown list, but perhaps this is meant to be taken more generally (it is in the General section), since we are ultimately building a Responder IKE / VPN policy.
The Logger (newest first):

So, it appears that XAUTHUSER will work for authentication purposes without mode config, but then the tunnel collapses becauses it doesn't have a mode config.
Attempting to provide a Mode Config and make use of a VPN Policy results in this error message:
I am confused.

My inner BOFH is stoked. I haven't used MSCHAP(v1 or v2) for anything in years (following the PPTP server instructions). Mind you, even with MSCHAPv2 authentication and MPPE-128 encryption, I've probably got about two weeks before that becomes a serious security concern ;-). But it works, right now, which is all that matters at the moment.

I'm glad to know that it works! :)
Since it works, I encourage you to mark the appropriate reply as the “Accepted Solution” so others can be confident in benefiting from the solution. The NETGEAR Community looks forward to hearing from you and being a helpful resource in the future!
