I have been following official WatchGuard guide (mvpn_ipsec_ios_vpn_c.html) to set up Mobile VPN with IPSec on WatchGuard Firebox x750e v10.2.12.

Inside the Policy manager, I can see this has been setup. The VPN group name is 'IPSecVPN'.

enter image description here enter image description here

Then I configured the Mac client (Cisco IPSec) as instructed from URL above. I am still getting "The VPN server did not respond". I checked the traffic status on WatchGuard while I am making the VPN connection. I see no traffic origin from my IP address. It seems like I can't make connection to it. However, the same WatchGuard box with same external IP, I was able to make PPTP VPN to it.

  • First check the logs and see what messages your getting, do you have the log files going somewhere, can you post the output after a failed attempt?

  • For some reason, I can't see any IPSec logs on Watchguard box. Not even traffic denied from my IP. I can see other logs though, such as PPTP connections.

Make sure you save the config to the firebox using the admin (read/write) password. I had a similar issue where I configured IPSec and tried to vpn immediately right after using an iphone and got the same error, once I saved the config to the firebox, I started getting different types of errors that I was able to eventually resolve by following carefully their IPSec vpn from iOS devices guide
