      hi, i have been trying to setup vpn tunnel between our two sites. i am using pfsense 1.2.3 at one end and linksys rvs4000 at other. when i setup for first time it was up n running in no time. for some reason tunnel was down this morning and could not bring it back no matter what i do. i am getting the below error. the vpn tunnel between pfsense and another RVS400 at another site is running without any issues. any help will be appreciated.
      thanks

        Please check if there are many entries with WAN IP of Linksys site under "Status -> IPsec -> SAD". If so, restart the racoon service.

            I would suggest restarting VPN services (racoon in pfsense) on both ends, if possible.

              its working now for some reason. i will monitor it till tomorrow. i suspect that the BT modem is blocking the vpn traffic. will update you tomorrow.
