UDP 500 problem with SRX5308
Right, so I am having some problems with configuring my windows server 2016 as a VPN server with L2TP and ipsec behind my Prosafe SRX5308 firewall. As I have seen from searching the forum, there seem...
I did try to replicate your issue with our SRX5308 running on the latest firmware and I was able to create UDP Port 500. I was able to successfully assign it to a port. May you be able to try upgrading your firewall to the latest firmware?

Using Firmware 3.0.8-12 you can forward UDP port 500 by using the existing service IKE. Add the inbound firewall rule as normal and select IKE as the service. It's towards the bottom of the list, which is not strictly in alphabetical order. I missed it at first.
After adding this rule, UDP 1701 and UDP 4500 I can connect to an internal IPSEC/L2TP VPN server.
