Hello,

Until a week ago a user with Windows 10 had no issue connecting to the
StrongSwan server. But now out of the blue, he can't connect to the
StrongSwan server anymore.

The log on the server is:

The Server's ipsec.conf is:

config setup
  strictcrlpolicy=yes
  uniqueids=never
conn roadwarrior
  auto=add
  compress=no
  type=tunnel
  keyexchange=ikev2
  fragmentation=yes

  esp=aes256gcm16-sha256,aes256-3des-sha256-sha1!

  rightsourceip=${VPNIPPOOL}
  rightsendcert=never

Have the supported ike/esp proposals somehow been changed recently after a
recent Windows 10 update?

I have made these changes on the Windows 10, after googling for a solution:

- The firewall on Windows 10 is currently disabled.
- I have set NegotiateDH2048_AES256 = 1 in Regedit
- AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule = 2 in Regedit

I can't think of anything else I could do on the Windows 10 client.

According to my notes, these are the proposed protocols for Windows 10:

# these ike and esp settings are tested on Mac 10.12, iOS 10 and Windows 10
# iOS/Mac with appropriate configuration profiles use
AES_GCM_16_256/PRF_HMAC_SHA2_256/ECP_521
# Windows 10 uses AES_CBC_256/HMAC_SHA2_256_128/PRF_HMAC_SHA2_256/ECP_384

Is there a website that translates
AES_CBC_256/HMAC_SHA2_256_128/PRF_HMAC_SHA2_256/ECP_384 into the right
naming for ipsec.conf so that I enter them under ike and esp respectively?
I can't quite make out if I have these settings there or not.

If you have any other advice, please help me.

Many Thanks,
