My apologies for having to ask about this again, but I am stuck trying to make a MacOS IPSec connection to Strongswan. I had similar issues in the past, and Noel kindly helped me out, and I thought I had it all documented, but here I am again. Once again, Strongswan is reporting that it cannot find a matching peer config.
Noel’s response to my last post: https://lists.strongswan.org/pipermail/users/2018-January/012155.html <https://lists.strongswan.org/pipermail/users/2018-January/012155.html> Once again, I’m sure this is me doing something dumb here, but I cannot figure out what it is.
