IPSec VPN log suspicious activity

My IPSec VPN System Log has a lot of activity. I was just setting it up today after registering the DDNS for the first time on this new router after releasing it from an old router. I did have this VPN selected on with all of the settings entered. The following log entries are just the latest from today. Can anyone tell what is going on here? Looks like access attempts to me. I replaced my IP with xx in the following.

Thanks

You’ll have to forgive me for lack of experience with VPNs in general, but I found this looking up “IKE_SA”.  Up front I suspect the VPN is looking for your old router/catching that this is a different router.  May need to update the VPN somehow with your new router, similar to DDNS.
