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?
Policy:
I uncheck 'Obtain Topology Automatically or Tunnel All' (should allow creation of a split tunnel). Then I add the subnet (192.168.1.0) + subnet mask (255.255.255.0) for the network that I am interested in under Remote Network Resources.
Click 'Save', and your configuration should appear in the Shrew Soft VPN Access Manager.
Click the 'Connect' button or double-click the lock icon, and you will be asked for your username and password. Put in the appropriate values (one of the IPSec VPN User accounts you created earlier). In a few moments, it should say something to the effect that the tunnel is established (in a little log window). If not, the information from its little log window can help you figure out what's causing the connection error.
And if you are running Linux Mint / Ubuntu / Debian / any number or flavors of linux distros out there, install this (through your appropriate package manager...or compile it from a tarball if that's how you roll):
And this:
You don't need to install this, but you might want to if you are trying to track down some problems (this offer without warranty):
