Hi my USG Flex was configured for low security ipsec vpn with linux clients

USG Flex 200 doesnt allow windows 11 IPSEC Phase 1 conection:

"Recv IKE sa: SA([0] protocol = IKE (1), AES CBC key len = 256, HMAC-SHA1 PRF, HMAC-SHA1-96, 384 bit ECP, AES CBC key len = 128, 256 bit ECP, 2048 bit MODP, 3DES, 1024 bit MODP, HMAC-MD5 PRF, HMAC-MD5-96, DES, 768 bit MODP; )."

so what can be done on usg flex side or windows 11 side to match connection - there is some force reg keys for regedit but no info about it…..

    Hi @AntonK ,

    Using power shell command to change the phase 1 & phase 2 proposal.

    1. Show phase 1 & phase 2 proposal of VPN connection

    Get-VpnConnection -name "YourConnectionName" | Select-Object -ExpandProperty IPsecCustomPolicy

    2. Set phase 1 & phase 2 proposal of VPN connection

    Set-VpnConnectionIPsecConfiguration -ConnectionName "YourConnectionName" -EncryptionMethod <IKE  Encyption> -IntegrityCheckMethod <IKE Authentication> -DHGroup <DH Group> -CipherTransformConstants <ESP Encyprtion> -AuthenticationTransformConstants <ESP Authentication> -PfsGroup <PFS Group> -Force

    1. So i can choose in AuthenticationTransformConstants <ESP Authentication> : MD596, SHA196, SHA256128, GCMAE192,GCMAE256, None

    and there in no such options in USG200

    encryption AES256

    authentication SH1

    PFS none

    Here the string mapping between Windows and USG,

    Windows: MD596 to USG: MD5

    Windows: SHA196 to USG: SHA1

    Windows: SHA256128 to USG: SHA256

    According to this release from Microsoft…

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/status-windows-11-23h2#3291msgdesc

    Is KB5036893 installed? Or Preview update of the end of april?

    (Windows 10 is affected too, with the equivalent KB5036892)

    Thanks everyone for transport encapsulation and kb5036893, i've made changes and uninstall KB, and made some progress, - ZYXEL wrote that connection done, but windows think 1-2 minutes and breaks it with RasMan 809 Error

    Hello, i'm having a problem in phase 1 (logs on zywall say say proposal mismatch ) this in brief is my configuration on this IKEv2 vpn:

    phase 1: encryption AES128, authentication SHA256, DH DH2

    phase 2: encryption AES128, authentication SHA256, PFS None

    THE cmdlet that i'm using in windows 10 is:

    Set-VpnConnectionIPsecConfiguration -name "MyVPNName" -AuthenticationTransformConstants SHA256128 -CipherTransformConstants AES128 -DHGroup Group2 -EncryptionMethod AES128 -IntegrityCheckMethod SHA256 -PfsGroup None -force

    do you see any error? I'm not sure about the import of the certificate, where do I have to import it?

    PS this VPN works fine with Android (strongSwan) so I suppose that the problem is in the windows client configuration. I uninstalled the KB5036892 and rebooted but nothing changed.

    ty

    Yes you need to import the certificate are you using a self-signed certificate?

    You can look at getting a DDNS and certificate as a self-signed certificate will be fixed to 1 IP and not domain name

    will you be doing certificate mode or Enable Extended Authentication Protocol Server Mode user name and password?
