"Negotiation Timed Out" for Always-On VPN (IKEv2)

Hello,

I've followed this guide to the exact specifications, and everything was going well until I actually tried to connect with a client. I get "13801: IKE credentials are unacceptable" when I try to connect. This doesn't give a lot of detail, so I looked at the event viewer on the VPN server, and saw the following error:


CoId={DB9815D5-DABB-5E2C-F8A5-0E8B88259632}: The following error occurred in the Point to Point Protocol module on port: VPN2-127, UserName: <Unauthenticated User>. Negotiation timed out


I'm assuming this error means that the VPN server was unable to get a response from the NPS/RADIUS server before the timeout?


I've tried everything I can think of, and that I can find online:


- ensured VPN server certificate has "server authentication" EKU

- ensured certificates are valid on client, VPN server, and NPS server

- ensured client, VPN server, and NPS server all have trusted root certificate from the DC (CA administrator)

- ensured the VPN server name on client matches the VPN server certificate's subjectName

- ensured appropriate port (1812, for RADIUS authentication) is open on VPN server and NPS server

- ensured NPS server is reachable (ping-able) from VPN server



So, now I'm out of ideas. Can anyone provide some advice on how to resolve this timeout error?
