Overview

This article shows how to connect Shew Ipsec client to RouterOS Ipsec server.

RouterOS Configuration

IPSec configuration

/ip ipsec peer 
  add address=10.5.101.20/32 auth-method=pre-shared-key exchange-mode=main\
  secret=123 hash-algorithm=md5 enc-algorithm=3des generate-policy=yes

Since we assume that it is Road-Warrior setup, we do not know from where client will be connecting, so generate-policy=yes should be set.


Shew client configuration

Now we need to match configuration on Shew client. And assume that we want to reach remote network 99.77.77.0/24 located behind router from Shew client

Note: RouterOS does not support modecfg and xauth. We need to disable every dynamic option in shew


  • On the first configuration tab ("General") we simply specify server's IP address.
  • On the second tab ("Client") disable any features that you do not want to use. In this case we are not using NAT-T, DPD, etc. So all of them are disabled.

  • On the third tab ("Name Resolution") we disable everything since these options are used by modecfg, which is not supported on ROS.
  • On the fourth tab In our case we are using pre shared key, so choose Mutual PSK and enter pre shared key.
