Working to setup up a IPv4 Client-to-Gateway VPN tunnel for MacOS clients configuring the MacOS native VPN client (Network Settings, VPN Interface, Cisco IPSec type). It appears I have been successfu...
I apologize for this is the only time I got back on this. Is your network setup as well as the settings on your FVS336Gv3 and MAC OS X Sierra the same as indicated on the article below?

I just want to follow-up on this. Were you able to try the suggestions?

Hi DanaA,
I am back from my travels out-of-town, cleared my backlog of tasks and am now fully focused on solving this VPN connectivity issue.
Know that I am not at all skilled in setup of VPN's. My current setup has an IKE Policy using a Mode Config, but has no VPN Policy set up. Perhaps I don't need an IKE Policy at all, and just a VPN Policy??
I am absolutely a believer in "reading the manual" before asking for help, so please do direct me to any background I can read before I ask for your generous help.
I confirrm the local IP address of my MacBook VPN client is different from the LAN subnet the firewall sits on. It should also be so, but I will have different DHCP assiged IP addresses as I move around to different host networks.

DaneA,
Thank you for sharing this document, "Mac OS X VPN Client install with ProSAFE VPN Firewall/Router". I had not seen that in my searches.
Since I already had an IKE Policy set I did not use the VPN WIzard, but did edit my existing IKE Policy configuration to match that shown in the document. I then created a VPN Policy that matched that shown in the document. Then I downloaded and installed the IPSecuritas VPN client for Mac, configuring it also as shown in the document. Running the client from a different, outside network, testing the VPN connection back to my work network fronted by the ProSAFE FVS336Gv3 I could *not* connect.
I verified the settings and tried again. No luck. The error log generated by IPSecuritas shows me this message:
Connection KennyNetVPN is not started because of address collision between local (( "127.0.0.1/8", "::1/128", "fe80::1/64", "fe80::aede:48ff:fe00:1122/64", "fe80::47e:6959:af4c:25c5/64", "192.168.1.93/24", "fe80::4422:cdff:fe7e:f936/64", "fe80::dd35:9b1a:7cf6:2221/64", "fe80::7ab7:4e99:2578:c3df/64", "fe80::c0f:a40b:f157:9d6c/64", "fd28:7e35:d34b:5f8:c0f:a40b:f157:9d6c/64" )) and remote (( "192.168.1.0/24" )) networks
Any idea about this failure? Should I delete my policies completely and start over, using the wizard?
Thanks, Ken
Kindly delete the existing IKE & VPN policies then start over use the VPN Wizard.
Let us know result.
