      Hi thanks for the reply

      My current test setup is on SKY Broadband UK - they only supply a dynamic IP (The finial installation will be on a Staic IP from another provider)

      Basically we want to have IP CCTV cameras out in the field and let the sarian 3g router initiate the tunnel to the pfsense host
      I have spoken to Sarian and they said any VPN Server supporting NAT-T and aggresive mode should respond to the NATted Vodafone IP.

      Im wondering looking at the logs i posted it seems the pfsense (WAN IP 192.168.1.16)is getting stuck going back out through the netgear router 192.168.1.1 even though DMZ is enabled on it. Is this correct??  I was looking at getting a router that supports bridge mode which i can go straight into the pfsense and let it do the DHCP/NAT etc.

      Any further help would be appreciated cheers

        Hi,

        I have spoken to Sarian and they said any VPN Server supporting NAT-T and aggressive mode should respond to the NATted Vodafone IP.

        hmm i ll test it tomorrow with 2 pfsense boxes (1 with adsl and 1 with umts). I never tested with aggressive mode.
        But i think u cant use site to site on pfsense because u need an valid remote peer ip address otherwise phase 1 will always fail.

        Im wondering looking at the logs i posted it seems the pfsense (WAN IP 192.168.1.16)is getting stuck going back out through the netgear router 192.168.1.1 even though DMZ is enabled on it. Is this correct??

        U still need a real portforward. Be careful with netgear…look at documentation what "dmz on netgear" really means.

        I was looking at getting a router that supports bridge mode which i can go straight into the pfsense and let it do the DHCP/NAT etc.

        Search for pppoe passthrough on netgear.

        The easyest way is to get the netgear in "modem mode". Activate pppoe passthrough mode and set up the pppoe connection on pfsense.

        We dont need to analyse ipsec logs if we dont know if ur dmz setup works.

        U posted logs…what is ur ipsec config on pfsense?

          Another log for you to look at :)

          I have now got the sarian router VPN tunnel up but cant ping any remote clients etc.  The log shows Phase 2 failed i have tried googling the error messages but no luck with any good answers.

            Hi,

            last try.. plz post ur ipsec parameters. What remote peer u define on pfsense site?

            Use 3DES / Sha1 for best compatibility in phase 2

                  Hi,

                  u need to create a remote user on pfsense.

                  goto System -> usermanager

                  create user eg: sarian3g with ipsec key, effective previleges: assign to all groups with "USER - xxxxx"

                  pfsense + sarian switch to ESP

                  pfsense p1:
                  mode: aggressive
                  my identifier: distinguished name: pfsense
                  3DES/Sha1
                  lifetime: 28800
                  play with proposal checking option

                  pfsense p2:
                  mode tunnel
                  protocoll ESP
                  3DES/Sha1
                  lifetime 3600

                  goto advanced-> Miscellaneous -> uncheck " prefer oder sa" and check racoon debug mode
                  goto Status: System logs: Settings change number of logentries to >= 500

                  sarian:

                  change p1 and p2 parameters like pfsense
                  peer id: pfsense
                  our id: sarian3g
                  send our id as FQDN: yes
                  u need to define preshared key of sarian3g in ur config
                  change duration (kb) to 0
                  local subnet adress: 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
                  remote subnet: 192.168.5.0/255.255.255.0

                      Hi Mate

                      done all your settings tunnel is coming up but still no pinging from either side of lan/wan port

                          Update

                          Got 3des esp encryption enabled on the sarian, tunnel is up and works.

                          Only thing is i can ping and bring up devices on the sarian from the pfsense lan but cant connect/ping to any devices from the sarian lan to the pfsense lan

                          Any ideas??

                          Thanks

                            u create ipsec rule on pfsense?

                            Are there any blocking events on enc0?

                              Hi SB

                              Thanks fro reply and help again.

                              Sorry might be a daft ? what is enc0? :-[

                              IPSec rules created subnets are PFS 192.168.5.0 sarian 192.168.0.0 should the gateways be set the same ie pfs 192.168.5.254 sarian 0.254 (this is now the ip of the sarian LAN port/config port)

                              Thanks again

                                Hi,

                                enc0 is the pfsense internal ipsec adapter. if incoming vpn traffig get blocked u see firewall blocking events on enc0 interface.

                                ur IPsec rule looks like:

                                Proto      Source                  Port      Destination                            Port          Gateway      Queue
                                *          192.168.5.0/24      *              LAN net (192.168.0.0/24)          *                  *            none

                                Only thing is i can ping and bring up devices on the sarian from the pfsense lan but cant connect/ping to any devices from the sarian lan to the pfsense lan

                                Too much for me :D

                                is this right?

                                When tunnel comes up you..

                                sarian site

                                ..cant ping pfsense lan ip
                                ..cant ping device in pfsense network

                                pfsense site:

                                …can ping sarian lan ip
                                ...can ping device in sarian network

                                plz post racoon ipsec-sa establishment.. is there something similar on sarian?

                                  apologies for being a pain  ;D

                                  Sorted it now - checked firewall logs pings being denied from sarian to pfsense added easy rule works a dream.

                                  I'll get there in the end :)

                                  thanks again

                                    Hi Folks

                                    Struggling again :)

                                    Having got multiple mobile clients running with the sarian 3g routers, and i can see devices from sarian A to PFSense and vice versa same for sarian B and C.  What i cant do is talk from Sarian A - B, A - C, C - B etc the routers are on 192.168.6.0, 7.0, and 8.0 pfsense is 192.168.5.0

                                    Checked firewall logs nothing comes through when i try and ping sarian to sarian

                                    Any help again appreciated

                                    Cheers

                                      Hi,

                                      this is by design^^ u cant route IPSEC.

                                      What u have to do is to create multiple phase 2 entrys on Pfsense and sarians.

                                      Have a look at this example:

                                      Each Sarian has a IPSEC Tunnel to ur central pfsense. Sarian A cant reach Sarian B network because there is no route.

                                      pfsense
                                                    192.168.5.0
                                                      |           |
                                                      |           |
                                                      |           |
                                               Sarian A      Sarian B
                                           192.168.6.0     192.168.7.0

                                      Solution:
                                      IPSEC Tunnel Pfsense <-> sarian A

                                      Pfsense:
                                      add phase 2 like this:

                                      localnet: 192.168.7.0/24
                                      remotenet: 192.168.6.0/24
                                      use same encryption as ur first phase 2 entry.

                                      Sarian A:

                                      i dont know if sarian can have a second phase 2…but u can try to add a second tunnel with the same shared key...this should work.

                                      localnet: 192.168.6.0/24
                                      remotenet: 192.168.7.0/24

                                      IPSEC Tunnel Pfsense <-> sarian B

                                      Pfsense:
                                      add phase 2 like this:

                                      localnet: 192.168.6.0/24
                                      remotenet: 192.168.7.0/24
                                      use same encryption as ur first phase 2 entry.

                                      Sarian B:

                                      i dont know if sarian can have a second phase 2…but u can try to add a second tunnel with the same shared key...this should work.

                                      localnet: 192.168.7.0/24
                                      remotenet: 192.168.6.0/24

                                      At the end create fireweallrules on pfsense to allow traffic between sarian A und B and vice versa...thats it.

                                      If u have many sarians to connect each other u need to combine networks to minimize phase 2 entries otherwise there is much to configure.

                                      good luck
