Ipsec between pfsense and lancom stopped working

hi,

it was working fine without any problems. without any changes on both sides it stopped working and i only see timeouts. but internet connection (ping, tracert, port check) is working.

ipsec log pfsense:

so in my eyes both sides says "no response from other side"… i dont know what i can do :(

Thx!

seems some nat problems or so, after deleting the state it was working again but how can i prevent this issue?

cmb

What states in particular did you delete? Only thing that comes to mind is if you had a port forward or 1:1 NAT overlapping, so it was directing that traffic to an internal host, or if you have manual or hybrid outbound NAT configured and are NATing the host's own traffic. Can't do either of those.

i have no 1:1 nat or port forward and the outbound nat rules are set to auto…

mhh so i have no idea why vpn is going down after some time and wont be reconnect :(
