      This error seems to be back in 2.2.3  :(

      but only some connections are affected.

      7490 connects fine via AES (FW 6.24)
      7362SL does not connect via AES / 3DES (FW 6.20)

      other models also do not connect. (FW 6.22)

      Are there any hints or fixes by someone ?
      Disabling AESNI does not fix anything.

      pfSense 2.2.4-DEVELOPMENT (amd64) built on Mon Jun 29 14:25:17 CDT 2015 does not fix this so far.

        Are you getting "auth failed" as in the original log?

          I can confirm trendchiller observations, 2.2.3 broke my tunnel to a Fritzbox as well.

            What phase 1 identifiers are you using?

              What phase 1 identifiers are you using?

              On my (pfsense) site the identifier is my public IP address (which is static). The Fritzbox has a dynamic IP, I'm using a dynamic DNS name as it's identifier.
              The settings match on both sides and the tunnel worked flawlessly on 2.2.2 (as well as 2.2.1).

                Someone who has one, could you get me into your system to review? PM me to arrange details.

                  Hi Chris !
                  We are using distinguished names as authenticator using a dns-name for both sides.

                  Phase 1:
                  Key-Exchange: V1
                  IPv4
                  Mutual-PSK
                  aggressive-mode

                  3DES, SHA1, DH1, 3600 sec lifetime

                  Phase 2:
                  Tunnel IPv4
                  ESP
                  3DES, SHA1, PFS 1, 3600 sec lifetime

                  the logs show:
                  Jul 3 14:48:31 charon: 11[ENC] <con7000|29>generating INFORMATIONAL_V1 request 1702398447 [ HASH N(AUTH_FAILED) ]

                    This has been confirmed fixed in 2.2.4 snapshots by someone who has a Fritzbox remote endpoint. Replacing /etc/inc/vpn.inc, or upgrading to latest 2.2.4 from https://snapshots.pfsense.org will fix.

                        Replacing the vpn.inc from Github and restarting IPSec indeed fixed the issue for me. Thanks.

                            Same for me, FB 7390 FritzOS 6.30 <> pfSense 2.2.4-RELEASE (i386)

                            Did work with previous versions, iirc with 2.1.x, but seems to be broken since 2.2.

                            Hope someone can help!?

                                Try upgrade to pfSense version 2.2.5 and try it out once more again.

                                  Thanks for the answer, BlueKobold.
                                  Guess i'll have to wait for the stable then since we're using the firewall in production environment.

                                    That's not the same problem, and upgrading to 2.2.5 won't change that. It's likely one of the changes noted here:
                                    https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/UpgradeGuide#IPsec_Changes

                                    either "Stricter Phase 1 Identifier Validation" or "Phase 2 behavior change with incorrect network addresses" most likely.

                                    Start a new thread describing your issue if neither of those appear to be the case.

                                      Small Update on the (cisco) issue:
                                      The tunnel works again. We tried several configurations - using the remote hostname (IP did NOT work) as remote gateway and Peer Identifier 'any' finally did the trick.
                                      (Doesn't make much sense for me - however: it works ;))

                                        I get this message daily when pfsense fails to reconnect my IPSec tunnel to the Fritz!Box (7390).
                                        It worked nicely until 2.2.2 in aggressive mode. Now that other bugs are fixed I could finally upgrade to 2.2.6 and switch to main mode.

                                        The initial connection comes up fine. Just after the 24h disconnect the tunnel will not be reestablished and I get the same log entries.

                                        Confusing but maybe helpful: If I use another IPSec connection from my Smartphone (with VPNCilla, inside LAN) to the Fritz!Box then the pfsense tunnel comes up simultaneously  :o

                                          It seems the ISP cut the line all 24h once, like here in Germany and the IPSec connection is not coming
                                          up proper again.

                                          If there will be then a packet flow through the tunnel it will be perhaps revive the older IPSec VPN tunnel
                                          also again and its up then. Did you try out to get from your PC a link or data flow through the tunnel
                                          by opening the briwser and start connecting some devices on the other side of the VOPN tunnel, or perhaps
                                          another program running on a device in the LAN?
