Soft-PK Connection Monitor

You will see an icon to the left of the connection name:

A key indicates that the connection has a Phase 2 IPSec SA, or both a Phase 1 and Phase 2 SA. When there is a single Phase 1 SA to a gateway that is protecting multiple Phase 2 SAs, there will be a single Phase 1 connection with the SA icon and individual Phase 2 connections with the key icon listed above that entry.

An SA indicates that the connection has only a Phase 1 IKE SA. This occurs when connecting to a secure gateway tunnel or when a Phase 2 IPSec SA fails to establish or has not been established yet.

A black mark moving beneath the key icon indicates that the client is processing secure IP traffic for that connection.
