Following the Strongswan wiki link for configuring Strongswan for Windows 7 clients: http://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/Win7EapMultipleConfig
I used the sample files as-is with no changes except for strongswan.conf.
[ipsec.conf]
same as on wiki
[ipsec.secrets]
same as on wiki
[strongswan.conf]
# diff /etc/strongswan.conf /etc/strongswan.conf.template
4,6c4,7
< dns1 = 8.8.8.8
< dns2 = 8.8.4.4
< nbns1 = 192.168.0.1
---
> dns1 = 62.2.17.60
> dns2 = 62.2.24.162
> nbns1 = 10.10.1.1
> nbns2 = 10.10.0.1
dns servers 8.8.8.8 and .4.4 are Google DNS servers. 192.168.0.1 is the router IP.
THE PROBLEM
I can log into the VPN fine with Windows 7, but the remote client does not have any connectivity. The client gets dhcp IP from Strongswan: 10.10.3.1, the netmask is 255.255.255.255, and the default gateway is 0.0.0.0. From the remote PC, I can ping the Strongswan server IP (192.168.0.50) but nothing else, not even the router at 192.168.0.1.
Thank you.
