Issue with racoon in 1.2.3 embedded 2g
-
Hi all,
I'm trying to create an Intranet with IPSec and I'm running into a major issue. It seems like racoon was never installed properly on the image I downloaded, due to the fact the service is missing its configuration file (/var/etc/racoon.conf), and refuses to start.
This is a fresh install following the details in the pfSense guide.

I found the problem to be that pfSense requires the WAN (and possibly all interfaces) to have an IP before the racoon service will start. I find that to be slightly odd practice, as the lab I'm trying to create has nothing to do with that interface. Maybe I'm crazy, but spend a few hours trying to troubleshoot an issue that shouldn't exist in the first place.
