      I am connected from a pfsense local to adtran remote ipsec vpn. The tunnel works fine, but occasionally it just drops. I was just in the middle of a voip call with my phone registered at the other end. Here is the log. I can fix it by disabling ipsec then enabling it on pfsense.  Log is below. then break where I disabled and re-enabled.

      dpd is 60 sec
      phase 1 lifetime is 28800
      phase 2 is 86400
      1.2.3-RELEASE

      any help would b appreciated.

        I believe the phase 1 lifetime should be larger than the phase 2 lifetime.  also, have you tried "Prefer old IPsec SAs" under "System: Advanced functions" ?
