IPSec connection established and trafic is outgoing, but no ongoing response

[Konstanti]

@lmhaydii The solution to the problem should be sought from Cisco side
Ip packets in its party leave and do not return

[Konstanti]

@lmhaydii
Here's what it looks like to me
15:59:50.636268 (authentic,confidential): SPI 0xc4b93af1: IP XX.XXX.70.141 > XX.XXX.236.39: GREv0, length 174: IP 192.168.1.96.51731 > 208.123.73.199.443: tcp 118
15:59:50.856954 (authentic,confidential): SPI 0xc8365d06: IP XX.XXX.236.39 > XX.XXX.70.141: GREv0, length 56: IP 208.123.73.199.443 > 192.168.1.96.51731: tcp 0

@konstanti Thank you for your help, I will try from another server without NAT / BITANT and see if that will work

[lmhaydii]

Hi again,
After several attempts, I come back to you, maybe I can find a solution.
I tried several configurations, but still the same issue : Tunnel connexion establisheed, telnet request go out, but can't catch the response. The responder server guys confirm that they are getting my requests and they return a response. But the response is lost somehwere and I can't determine where !
I've tried all pfsense log level on IPSec advenced options : but found nothing that can help, except when setting Kernel Interface on highest I can see :
(

This is a resume of my debbuging:
the tunnel is up and request are going out :

The connexion states are closed !

Packet captures with 0 bytes !

And netstat with 0 packet error !

If the reply is not arriving on your IPsec interface there is nothing you can do about it. They have to fix it on their side.

@lmhaydii

Tcp 0 is the SYN packet to establish the connection, this is normal .
The bad thing is that the answer is not from the second side
It is necessary to deal with the second side
Ask them to show the answer log
Can they ping your host 192.168.50.11 ?
Can you ping their host 192.168.127.80 ?

[lmhaydii]

@derelict thank you. How can I determine with certitude that thier response or thier request are not arriving to my firewall ? There is any command to show up that ?

[lmhaydii]

@konstanti No they can't ping my host.
but my ping requests arrive to thier side, but I can't get any response from them

[Konstanti]

@lmhaydii
/diagnostics/packet capture /
interface wan
host - static ip address of second side
protocol esp
start
as a result , you should see if the answers come from the second host or not?
aaaa -> bbbb (esp)
bbbb-> aaaa(esp)
.....

In order for them to ping your host , a allow rule must be created on the ipsec interface

[lmhaydii]

@konstanti Thank you kontanti,
I've already add a rule on IPSec firewall rules to allow any to any.

Also, alredy trying to capture packet coming from thier side using wan and ipsec interface, but nothing !

[Konstanti]

@lmhaydii
It is necessary to understand cisco settings
Let him show log where you can see that esp packet went in the direction of your host

Perhaps they have an error in the acl settings
access-list 100 permit ip host 192.168.127.80 host 192.168.50.11
access-list 100 permit ip host 192.168.50.11 host 192.168.127.80

alternatively , the host 192.168.127.80 the default gateway is not Cisco , and the gateway knows nothing about the network 192.168.50.0/24.
Here you can come up with many versions . However, without knowing the network configuration, it is difficult to find a solution

@lmhaydii said in IPSec connection established and trafic is outgoing, but no ongoing response:

@derelict thank you. How can I determine with certitude that thier response or thier request are not arriving to my firewall ? There is any command to show up that ?

Yes. A packet capture. You have done that. That would be enough for me.

If you want more certainty, pcap on WAN for protocol ESP. You will see your pings (encrypted) go out but nothing come back from their side.

If you are going across NAT (NAT-T) you will need to capture UDP 4500 instead of protocol ESP.
