I'm trying to set up a vpn connection between GW1 from one LAN to GW2 from another LAN. SMS is located on the same subnet as GW1.</P><P>When I try to install a policy, a timeout error occurs. In the logs I can see that when GW2 TCP connects to SMS there is an error: Clear text should be encrypted. Ping between the devices of the two networks passes.</P><P>Also, only these TCP events with the error have a VPN blade. All other traffic between the two networks passes without VPN.</P><P>Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated.</P> Thu, 26 Sep 2024 11:53:07 GMT https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/IPsec-problem-Clear-text-should-be-encrypted/m-p/228020#M43865 Dayaana 2024-09-26T11:53:07Z Re: IPsec problem: Clear text should be encrypted https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/IPsec-problem-Clear-text-should-be-encrypted/m-p/228026#M43867 <P>If your management can only reach GW2 via a VPN tunnel, it is a bad design.
