Ipsec pfsense <–> ipcop
-
Hi, I did as this topic, http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,128.msg593.html#msg593 and vpn (net-to-net) is working. If pfsense is rebooted there is no problem, VPN works, but if ipcop is rebooted, vpn stauts shows open (green in booth sides), but I have no traffic. If I don't any changes in pfsense Ipsec configuration but save it and apply changes, VPN works again.
I think VPN on pfsense isn't restarting after that icop is rebooted.
How do I resolve this?
Thank you. -
go to VPN-> IPSec and then click save, it should reload the VPN settings and resolve your issue.
I have this happen every so often with one site does a PPoE reset, VPN shows as being up but nothing works, until I do the above. I have never had a problem (yet) with OpenVPN so you may want to try that if the problem keeps happening. -
Thank you.
I'm already doing this (go to VPN-> IPSec and then click save), or, when I can't do, I ask for someone to reboot pfsense. I have other VPN's with OpenVpn, I don't have problem too, but, in this especific case I need IPSEC, because Ipcop's management isn't my responsability, and, its Administrador does not want install Openvpn. This is my first experience with pfsense, and I'm loving it, the next phase will be implement dual wan. (this can wait)
I'm searching how to to reboot pfsense every day at a especific time, this help-me because ipcop's management usually is made at night, if I could reboot pfsense in the morning, only unplanned reboots would be the problem. This don't resolve, but could help. -
you could do a cron job for the reboot and that way the system would reboot at the specified time
I think either of the below will work, set the cron job to do one of the commands at the specified timeshutdown -r now reboot
