Netgear FVS336Gv2 IPSec VPN with Shrew Soft client
I recently upgraded our FVS336Gv2 to firmware 4.3.3-6 from an older v3.x.x. I have reconfigured the firewall and it has internet connection and all is fine for that part of the equation. My issue lie...
Hi DaneA, apologies for the delay.
I ranthe test and got the following.
Checked port 500 on Host/IP 78.x.x.x...The checked port (500, service isakmp) is offline/unreachable
Reason: Connection refused (111)
Portscan ran for 0.0523 seconds
As this is a VPN setup this is correct isnt it?
Hi StrikedOut,
The output from the screenshot you have posted means that port 500 is not opened. It should say "online/reachable" which means that the port is opened. You may need to check the firewall rules. It might be possible that all configurations are done properly but the port is not opened and this might be the cause why the Shrew Soft Client software does not connect.
Regards,
DaneA
