Hello, I have follow this guide to create the VPN with the Fortigate 60E (https://cookbook.fortinet.com/ipsec-vpn-with-forticlient-60/) and I cannot connect. WIndows 10 error message is:

" The remote connection was not made because the attemped VPN tunnels failed. The VPN server might be unreachable. If this connection is attempting to use an L2TP/IPsec tunnel, the security parameters required for IPsec negotiation might not be configured properly". The I found this link https://cookbook.fortinet.com/ipsec-vpn-troubleshooting/ and I am posting the output: [link]https://pastebin.com/4ZLZmhTG[/link]

And here is my configuration:

config vpn ipsec phase1-interface     edit "OfficeVPN"         set type dynamic         set interface "wan1"         set peertype any         set proposal aes256-sha1         set dpd on-idle         set comments "VPN: OfficeVPN (Created by VPN wizard)"         set dhgrp 2         set wizard-type dialup-windows         set psksecret ENC xxxxxxxxxxx         set dpd-retryinterval 60     next end

 

config vpn ipsec phase2-interface     edit "OfficeVPN"         set phase1name "OfficeVPN"         set proposal aes256-md5 3des-sha1 aes192-sha1         set pfs disable         set encapsulation transport-mode         set l2tp enable         set comments "VPN: OfficeVPN (Created by VPN wizard)"         set keylifeseconds 3600     next end

 

Thanks!
