Hi,
thanks for the quick reply. I tried this setting without effect (in fact, the box WAS checked, so I unchecked it. From the description, state killing takes place, when it is unchecked).
In my understanding, it only does something, if a gateway fails. So it would kill the "normal" states of connections on my WAN gateway. However, the states of connections through my VPN are not affected and still stay in place…
