Problem
What DH value should I use for my IPsec tunnels?As of March 2019
IKE:- IKEv1 is still acceptable, there's no burning reason to choose IKEv2 over v1
- ideal is DH-19 or DH-20
- minimum for reasonable security is DH-14, going below that is not recommended
- use AES-128 (or higher) with SHA-128 (or higher)
- Always avoid DES
- Avoid 3DES and/or MD5 if at all possible
References
- some reddit thread somewhere which I can't find any more, yeah possibly sketchy AF maybe, but it's backed up by other places on the web

This is a collection of techical information, much of it learned the hard way. Consider it a lab book or a /info directory. I doubt much of it will be of use to anyone else.
