Hi
First post, I setup the libreswan on my AWS instance and able to connect to
it using my android phone. I couldnt get any tutorial on how to setup on
Linux client side, after harvesting the net I tried following
configuration.

* My AWS side VPN server works fine with my phone, so I dont suspect that

*Issue 1*: if the Linux PC side conf file has narrowing = no, then it gives
error "myvpn": cannot initiate connection with narrowing=no and
(kind=CK_TEMPLATE)
Issue 2: There is no clear instruction how to start the VPN client, I am
using
ipsec auto --up myvpn or ipsec auto --start myvpn (this shows sometime
success)
Issue 3: If I do narrowing = yes, it fails by



# Linux PC (Client side)
/etc/ipsec.d/myvpn.conf
