Hi @accountsb540b5883b9995e0d6

Are you sure Nginx is active? OpenSwan is probably setup to run on the same ports as Nginx, so only one of them can be active at the same time.

Can you run this command to list all services and their ports

sudo lsof -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN -P

Also have a look in the Nginx error log

tail -20 /var/log/nginx/error.log
