      I'm trying to get the IPSEC Service to start but wasn't able to do so! Does anyone knows how to force the service to start?

      I have deleted my settings, rebooted several times but nothing is working! How do I troubleshoot this issue ?

      Thanks

        I have solved the issue, from the log it seems there is some files missing after I have restored the configuration to Pfsense.

        In one of the forums i noticed that this issue might be caused if you have installed FreeRadius2 package however I had it installed but I uninstalled it.

        Now I re-installed the package and I could normally start the IPSEC/Racoon service Normally.

        Here's the failing log:

        Here's after I installed Freeradius2
