Missing IPSec logs

[9axqe]

I am attempting to set up an IPSec tunnel to a cloud service, using the new "connections" method. Unfortunately this cloud service does not offer a standard setup guide, only customized ones, for Azure IPSec, Oracle IPSec, GCP, etc.

At the moment, nothing is showing up on the status page, thus I'd like to troubleshoot.

But "Log File" shows absolutely zero entries, so I think I am doing something wrong at a very basic level. Any suggestions?

I configured:

• Connection: local IP is my WAN IP, remote IP is IP of cloud provider.
• Pool: I configured a single IPv4 (/32) in a pool to test this tunnel first.
• Remote Authentication is set to PSK, ID is set to "local identifier" of the PSK configured under "Pre-Shared Keys". Certificates is left empty and I hope the string configured under "Pre-Shared Keys > Pre-Shared Key" is then used (not very clear in UI tbh)
• Firewall > Rules > IPSec: I allowed outbound and inbound UDP/500 and UDP/4500 (not sure it's all required, I'm just trying to go for the lowest risk config to get it working first).

There was a PHP upgrade issue a while back on the logging settings. Can you navigate to VPN: IPsec: Advanced Settings and check the log levels and save again?

Whatever log level I set under "advanced settings", if I navigate away from the menu and back, it's all set back to "audit"...

ok, I must have done something very wrong, it doesn't even start anymore after upgrading to 27.3.4.

Still nothing in the IPSec logs so far.

Which logs should I look at to understand why IPSec service cannot start?
