[CLOSED - Can't reproduce] IPSec using alias IP instead of WAN IP
-
By the way, as expected the tunnel is only working one way: from the Main to Remote. I do think it is due to the tunnel be using the wrong WAN IP on the Main, so when it comes back, won't reach the LAN behind it.
-
Update:
ipsec.conf has the wrong WAN IP in it:
--- BOF ---
conn con1
fragmentation = yes
keyexchange = ikev2
reauth = yes
forceencaps = no
mobike = norekey = no installpolicy = yes type = tunnel dpdaction = restart dpddelay = 10s dpdtimeout = 60s auto = route left = x.x.x..83--- EOF ---
Changed inside the file to the correct one, but the GUI changed back to the wrong one.
Is this a GUI bug or IP Alias configured incorrectly?
-
Guys,
Don't want to report this as a bug without getting confirmation it is not a misconfiguration on my part.
Again, here's the scenario:
-
Main site with five public IPs;
-
WAN configured as x.x.x.81/29
-
IP Alias configured as:
-- x.x.x.82/29
-- x.x.x.83/29
-- x.x.x.84/29
-- x.x.x.85/29 -
IPSEC Phase 1 Interface configured as WAN
-
When trying to connect, won't connect
-
IPSEC log shows pf sending request as x.x.x.83, instead of using the WAN IP x.x.x.81
Ideas?
-
-
You should probably post screen shots instead of a summary of what you think you have done. Likely that something is done incorrectly.
WAN interface, VIPs, IPsec Phase 1.
-
As requested:
-
That all looks like it should work. Sending a PM.
-
Out of curiosity is the correct VIP used in IPsec of you select a VIP to bind to as the interface on the Phase 1? Say .82?
Not sure why yours is doing that yet. There are untold thousands of people binding IPsec to wan with IP Aliases on the interface.
-
My phase I uses the WAN interface, wish has the .81 IP assigned to it. My .81 IP isn't used for any IP Alias or anything else. When looking my ipsec.conf I see the .83 as the left interface IP, so assume the appliance is getting the WAN on Phase I and translating to .83 - one of the IP Alias.
I did try to create a IP Alias for the .81 to have it on the selection for the Phase I, but it don't seem to be allowed (maybe also wrong).
Hope I have answered your question.
Will PM a screen shot with the options I have.
Please be careful with my Public IPs and domain :)
I can setup a conference call and share screen so you can see. -
I was asking if you deliberately set IPsec to use .82, does it configure IPsec to use .82? You would just select the VIP in the interface selection you showed.
I understand that you are seeing .83 in the config even though you should be seeing .81.
You should not try to create a VIP for .81 nor should you have to. .81 is the interface address.
-
No, haven't set my IPSec to .82. It is set to WAN you per pics sent.
-
Can you try it?
-
When setting to .82, IPSec tried to connect with it:
04[NET] sending packet: from x.x.x.82[500] to 24.x.x.79[500]
Changing back to WAN, it's back to .83:
04[NET] sending packet: from x.x.x.83[500] to 24.x.x.79[500]
-
That is really very strange. I didn't see anything in your config that would cause that. It's fairly straightforward. I will try to duplicate it here. Not sure how long that will take.
-
Doing some tests, removed my IP Alias, disabled/enabled my Phase I, and the left IP was correct. Tried to connect and it did:
I've added my IP Alias back/disconnected/reconnected fine.
Disabled/re-enabled with the IP Alias configured and again, the left IP on my ipsec.conf is back to the 2nd IP Alias (my .83).
Could it be something on ipsec_get_phase1_src?
-
Probably not. But if you have a definitive set of steps to reproduce it can be looked at.
-
Steps:
- Removed IP Alias
- Disabled/Enabled IPSec Phase I
- IPSec tunnel connected
- Added IP Alias
- Disconnected/reconnected tunnel -> OK
- Disabled/Enabled IPSec Phase I
- Tried to connect IPSec -> Using wrong IP, so not connected
Also:
- Today I decided to do a fresh install with:
Version 2.4.3-RELEASE (amd64)
built on Mon Mar 26 18:02:04 CDT 2018
FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p7- Restored my config and IPSec is connecting
- Will update to 2.4.3_1 and report.

Can't reproduce after freshly installing for a second time -- please note the previous installation was fresh and config restored as well.
-
I'm closing this as can't reproduce -- please let me know if is there anything else I can test for you guys.
