  • Well, you are using DH cipher suite algorithm.  That was discontinued in 9.708 release.  Are you sure you aren't affected by that update?  Did you recently update when it was working, then recently discovered it would not? Is this paste from your Linux VPN client?  It doesn't look like UTM logs from what I remember.  What does your UTM log look like when you get disconnected? Your OpenSSL library version is also severely out of date.

    From 9.708 release

    Also included in this release is an update for OpenSSL which removes support for ciphersuites that include the non-EC Diffie-Hellman(DH) algorithm for key exchange. These ciphersuites have been considered weak for some time now. For uses where the UTM is a server (e.g. WAF, SMTP), these cipher suites were already excluded by default prior to this update so there should be no significant impact. Where the UTM acts as a client making connections to external SSL/TLS services running old software with limited support for more modern protocols, this could cause connection issues. For example, users connecting through the WebProxy with HTTPS decryption enabled will no longer be able to connect to old servers that have poor support for modern ciphers.

  • Actually, I solved problem by resetting port forwarding in the router. few weeks ago I did changed out NIC on Wan port, and I set same status address, and did not touch port forwarding setting in the router, and vpn has been working so far, just decide not to a couple days ago.
