VPN tp client light connetion failure SRX5308
Having trouble making a VPN client light connection. I've followed the online help pages and still no luck. Below is the log from the VPN Box. ERROR: Failed to get proposal for responder. Wed ...
Hi dewdiehl,
I suggest you to delete the existing IKE and VPN policies in the SRX5308. Then, read the following articles below and use it as your guide in setting up client-to-box IPSec VPN:
ProSAFE VPN Client: Client to Box Configuration
Configure IPSec VPN Tunnels With the Wizard - read pages 8-15
Notes:
a. Make sure that the local IP address of the PC (where the VPN Client Lite software is installed) is on a different LAN subnet than what is indicated on the LAN subnet of SRX5308. For example, if the existing LAN subnet of the SRX5308 is on 192.168.1.x network, then the LAN IP address of the PC where you are using the VPN Client Lite software should be on a different LAN subnet such 10.10.10.x or 192.168.9.x network. As reference, check the image below:
b. You might need to disable the anti-virus or software firewall installed on the PC where the ProSAFE VPN Client Lite software is installed.

Hello. Yes I was able to get it working. Found that one of my other VPN connections was using the same ip address as the new connection I was trying to set up. Once I changed the DHCP scheme on the new connection all worked great.
Thanks again.
