IPSec Tunnel Won't start after reboot; needs manual starting.

alfredo

Dear Forum,

Just about to configure new IPSec tunnel. It only works fine by starting it manually from: Status -> IPSec -> Overview, clicking on the black "Play" button on the right besides the "Disconnected" yellow "X". Why can't it start on its own?

Thanks for any help.

Why should it start on it's own? If there's no traffic directed to the tunnel, there's no reason to start it. Otherwise use the "Automatically ping host" feature on P2.

OK Thanks; I will try that.
