I have tried using

 

libreswan

strongswan

 

with and without

 

3des-sha1-modp1024

3des-sha1

 

and adding ! to the end of the above.

 

Am I missing something obvious?

are you trying to get client vpn on ubuntu to connect to MX100?

 

Meraki client VPN support is a bit lacking in a lot of areas - not sure if this thread helps you:

 

https://www.reddit.com/r/meraki/comments/9hd1x0/client_vpn_on_ubuntu/

 

we've tried using Microsofts inbuilt client in Win 10 which does work except for an issue in windows which changes the configuration back to a default setting which doesn't work.
