A VPN Gateway and Policy-Based IPsec Connection on IKEv2 with Tencent's Weak Defaults Refused

A Tencent Cloud VPN gateway (pay-by-hour; prepaid by name) with a customer gateway and one policy-based IPsec connection on IKEv2 negotiating AES-CBC-256, SHA-256 and DH group 14 in both phases. Tencent's own defaults are 3DES, MD5 and group 1; the validations refuse them, IKEv1 is accepted only by name, and dead peer detection restarts a dead tunnel.

This is the operations reference: version drift, dependants and neighbours. For what the module provisions, its inputs and outputs, and how to buy it, see the catalogue entry.

Provider drift

This artifact declares no Terraform provider requirements, so there is nothing to drift. Provider freshness applies to Terraform and OpenTofu modules.

What depends on this

No reference architecture names this module, so changing it affects only configurations that reference it directly.
