      Hi

      We've set up a IPSEC VPN between a pfSense and a Draytek 2860 router.

      The connection establishes and we have been able to ping across the VPN, however after approx 40 seconds the VPN disconnects..

      On other pfSense firewalls we have IPSEC VPN's configured the same as this one and they are working fine with no issues.

      We've no idea why this one drops. The logs show as follows.

      For privacy X.X.X.X is our IP Address & Y.Y.Y.Y is the Draytek

        The other side is deleting the tunnel. You probably need to look at the logs there to see what it doesn't like. pfSense is just doing as it has been told.

          On the Draytek, disable ping to keep alive if it is enabled ...

              What do the logs on the Draytek say?

              pfSense can't tell you why the Draytek sent the delete command, only the Draytek can.
