Dynamic DNS ON BOTH ENDPOINTS

Well, sometimes you gotta go "old school" if you want to get something fixed.
See, there was an issue, it was reported both on the MLs and here @ the forum.
But it was the MLs that pushed sullrich enough for him to start working on a fix ;).
I don't mind MLs, but if you ask me, every major project should have a forum instead of an ML…
/OT
So, now the $1.000.000 question is, has this been fixed in 0.95Alphas or is it still being fixed?
Major kudos to the devs for taking care of this issue.
If only you could do the same with OpenVPN and the OPTs issue... ;)
Cheers

Huh? I said don't depend on the issue being fixed anytime soon. Please reread the last post on the ML from me.

As far as I'm aware, this is your last post.

I will add a feature for it to automatically talk to the 2nd firewall
and for it to tell the 2nd to reload its ipsec configuration. This
will solve all these problems.

Only stipulation is that both endpoints will need to be pfSense, but
thats not really something I'm concerned with as you should only be
using pfSense :P

And here you don't actually say if the issue will be solved soon or not.
Or maybe I'm wrong and I didn't search the ML correctly?

Not sure. It will magically appear so don't depend on it as of yet./info@cilient.com /sullrich@gmail.com

What?
You mean you sent that but it doesn't show up on the ML archive?
That's why I'm not a fan of MLs ;D.

I don't know what to tell you. I can find any message I need in 2 seconds with my gmail account + the mailing list.

And for the record, I prefer mailing lists over forums. It cuts down on the BS.

There you have a point…
But I still prefer forums lol
Heck with so many posts you and I exchanged today I tell you what I prefer: SIP softphones.
But then there wouldn't be any BD with stored info.
But it sure would have made things easier today ;).

Yet another place we differ. I hate the phone.

:P

rds_correia

No, sir.
I'm not a big fan of phones.
But then we would have done this in 5 minutes instead of 2 hours ;).
BTW a bit of BS: where do I get that avatar of yours but bigger?
I simply love it :P
Cheers man

Does this mean IPSEC in pfSense has the same problem with DHCP IP address changes as m0n0wall?

i.e. if a dynamic endpoint has an IP address change it will not reconnect until the phase lifetime expires, or IPSEC is manually restarted.

This is why I use the ovpn builds in m0n0wall for OpenVPN support. I'm very tempted to change for Carp & IPSEC compression otherwise.

And if this is so can you slap it in big letters in the FAQ and elsewhere to make it more widely known.

More than half of year has past since then; any progress on this, Sullrich?
All I want is the option ho have a Dynamic DNS address allowed in Remote Gateway field.
Automatic detection of address changes and remote party notification are improvements you cand develop later… :)
I don't mind to manualy reeestablish the connection.... for the beginning ;)

sullrich

No progress has been made. 1.0 is being released without this support.
