Hi,

Hopefully someone can help with this.

I have an IKEv2 remote access VPN setup using a certificate created using the Zyxel. It works fine at the moment but when I replace the certificate it stopped working.

I created a new certificate using the Zyxel with the same settings as the previous one. Added it to my computers Trusted Certificates. I then change to the new certificate in the IKE VPNs gateway settings. it then fails to authenticate.

have I missed something? I haven't been able to reboot the Zyxel, will it only set after a reboot?

Thanks


David

    Hi @DaviD42,

    Which IKEv2 client are you using? Zyxel IPSec VPN client or native Windows client?

    Hi @DaviD42,

    In the VPN gateway, select the new created certificate.

    Export the certificate without password and import it to the laptop.

    Thanks,

    Thats what I tried. Exported no password, imported to Trusted Certificates in windows. changed the certificate in the VPN Gateway.

    But it then stops working. If i change the certificate back it works fine again.

    Hi @DaviD42,

    Please send the remote access information of your USG210 to me in private message. I'll check the configuration and establish IKEv2 to your USG210 to check the symptom. Thanks!
