The roadwarriors carol and dave set up a connection each to gateway moon using the MODP Diffie-Hellman Groups 22, 23, and 24 with Prime Order Subgroups.

carol proposes the DH groups MODP_2048_224 and MODP_1024_160 whereas dave proposes MODP_2048_224 and MODP_2048_256. Since moon does not support MODP_2048_224 the roadwarriors fall back to MODP_1024_160 and MODP_2048_256, respectively.

Upon the successful establishment of the IPsec tunnels, leftfirewall=yes automatically inserts iptables-based firewall rules that let pass the tunneled traffic. In order to test both tunnel and firewall, both carol and dave ping the client alice behind the gateway moon.
