Can Windows 2012 R2 act as an VPN client using IKEv1?

  • 772

I am trying to find out if 2012 R2 can connect to a VPN with the following data:

  1. Phase 1 Proposal: pre-g20-aes256-sha2-256 (86400)
  2. Phase 2 Proposal: esp-g20-aes256-sha2-256 (4800)
  3. IKEv1
  4. PFS enabled
  5. pre-shared keys

Is that possible? For example, I don't find IKEv1 as an option, only IKEv2, PPTP, L2TP/IPSec, and SSTP.

  1. No, you can only use IKEv2 or L2TP/IPSEC. Here is a guide on how to setup L2TP/IPSEC.

    You might also need to open your windows firewall for it to work.

  2. This is not an answer, but as a workaround, you can install VyOS on a virtual machine.

    Either on that Windows machine in question itself, or somewhere else. I just did that, and VyOS works like a charm as my VPN router with the above parameters, and many more details like NATting etc that are easy to configure in VyOS. (But VPN site-to-site itself is not easy at all)
