Shrew VPN Client: I need guidance:
The tutorial at ShrewVpn.com offers no comments indicating which example IP addresses and FQDN's should be replaced with my own network addressing. Using the Shrew tutorial for batum does get a successful tunnel; however nothing can pass through the tunnel; so I need to find a better example tutorial/guide.
I have many FVS318Gs, All firewalls on computers used are off.
Can't ping anything on the other end of the tunnel.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Bingo: I figured it out:
I found and reviewed a document on connecting Shrew to a Linksys:
https://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=143689
Which says "If the VPN client is not behind a NAT, click the Client tab then select disable for the NAT Traversal option."
I set the NAT Traversal = DISABLED and that fixed the issue.
Nothing else in the Linksys setup applies to my Netgear FVS318Gv2. All other settings used came from
https://www.hackviking.com/security_and_hacks/ipsec-vpn-with-netgear-fvs318v3/
Thanks to everyone for the tidbits that helped find the solution.
It's absolutely amazing to me that the Shrew Web Site doesn't offer adequate help or support in configuring their client that they hope to sell licensing for; (The Pro Version).
How can anyone make money selling tools that noone can figure out how to use! Terrible business model.

Re: Shrew VPN Question
So I'm searching for a better example to follow that more clearly stateswhich entries need to be replaced with my actual IP addresses.

Re: Shrew VPN Question
Close but not quite there. Once the tunnel is open : I can't open any LAN workstation folders but can ping workstation addresses. Yet machines from the LAN side I can open folders on the VPN Client workstation; which kind of scrambles my eggs :).
I'll keep hacking.
Thanks for getting back to me. I'm closer; just not there yet.
