Connecting to IKEV2 VPN on Linux

alternis

Hi, I've been trying to connect to the Swisscom IKEV2 vpn on a debian computer for hours now.

The VPN works just fine on my other devices, but I get this error in syslogs when trying to log in on debian:

Nov 28 12:40:30 alterbook charon-nm[5223]: 13[IKE] authentication of 'IPADRESS' with pre-shared key successful
Nov 28 12:40:30 alterbook charon-nm[5223]: 13[CFG] constraint check failed: identity 'SERVERADRESS' required
Nov 28 12:40:30 alterbook charon-nm[5223]: 13[CFG] selected peer config 'Home' unacceptable: constraint checking failed
Nov 28 12:40:30 alterbook charon-nm[5223]: 13[CFG] no alternative config found

Any ideas how to make it work?

Hi @alternis

Just to make sure - you are testing the connection from external network (i.E. hotspot on your phone) right?

Because it won't work from the LAN/Wifi of the internetbox itself.

Best,

Hi @r00t,

I am testing the connection from my mobile hotspot which is connected to 5G.
