Check ike debug on the receiving end (FGT):

 

> diag vpn ike log filter clear
> diag vpn ike log filter dst-addr4 <public IP of your client>

> diag debug app ike 63

> diag debug enable

Those commands aren't supposed to help, they're supposed to generate outputs, which can then be analyzed to guide towards resolution or further analysis.

Hi @INT1 ,

 

It seems that the client is using FCT to connect to the IPSec VPN, which must be a dial-up VPN.

You mentioned "even opened the specific ports on the firewall and router":  What specific ports are they?

 

Anyway, please make sure that port 4500 is open on the upstream router.

hello, the specific ports are 500 and 4500 on both the firewall and the router's firewall and still having an issue.

Hi @INT1 ,

 

Please run the pcap and verify the traffic from one end is reaching the other end

diag sniff packet any 'host x.x.x.x and (port 500 or port 4500)' 4 0 l >> where x.x.x.x is the remote peer IP

If you have found a solution, please like and mark it as solved to make it easily accessible for everyone.
