      Thanks ;-)

      I don't have issues with Site2Site-IPSEC when they have both static IPs, which isn't the case here.
      I also have a IPSEC doc for the MRD-405 already, but not for transport mode.

      We figured out the encryption and xauth as you can see, but the IP routing is my problem here.

        The transport mode is configured only for host-host connection. You need tunnel mode.

        Phase 2 settings

        Mode: Tunnel
        Local Network: (the local network, e.g. LAN, or 0.0.0.0/0 to send everything over VPN)
        Protocol: ESP
        Encryption Algorithms: AES 128 only
        Hash Algorithms: SHA1 only
        PFS key group: off
        Lifetime: 28800

        Then your device will get a virtual IP
        And already then it is necessary to think of routing through ipsec tunnel ( if it is possible )

          thanks. We had most of that and get

          Feb 11 15:32:16	charon		15[IKE] <con-mobile|1> no matching CHILD_SA config found

[..]

Feb 11 15:32:26	charon		15[IKE] <con-mobile|1> received retransmit of request with ID 2293249901, but no response to retransmit

          Do we need a tunnel network in VPN/IPsec/Mobile Clients : "Virtual Private Network"

          "Network List" ?

          auth is fine, Phase1 as well.

          thanks

            Show phase 2 settings on both sides of the tunnel
            and PFSense IPSec log

              I have to leave now I can only share the last part of the remote site logs.
              I'll provide Phase2 infos later or tomorrow.

              I see that my local subnet (VLAN 160 on our side does not get transferred to the LTE-router.

              my phase2:

              tunnel ANLAGEN ESP AES (128 bits) SHA1

              and I don't have "Remote subnet" in there (maybe correct because of dynamic IP on mobile side)

              My Local Subnet is a VLAN, maybe I miss firewall rules? But I assume that comes later, at first we need the phase2 up, right?

                I think such a connection is impossible ,I should think , still, this type of connection is used for RW (road warrior)

                  When there is no fixed ip address, for site-site connection I would recommend openvpn tunnel

                    @konstanti Yes, I see ... we had the openvpn tunnel up already and pinged the tunnel endpoints, but not the nets behind. Maybe settings on the LTE-router, maybe my fault. We will retry on friday, the other admin is away till then.

                    EDIT: I will maybe open another topic in "openvpn" section, but just mentioning:
                    /27 on remote side, allowing that source net to OPENVPN interface and target net /24 (VLAN). Unsure if that should be enough. Didn't see blocked packages in firewall logs.

                      there need correctly configure the OPENVPN server
                      so that the client know about 10.135.16.195 and the server about 172.16.160.0/27

                        @konstanti that 10.135.16.195 ... don't know what that is. Maybe the dynamic WAN on the remote client side. Will check as soon as the admin gets back there. Thanks!

                        AND we have MultiWAN on our side. I had to add some rule back then, haven't found it yet.

                          yeah, probably.
                          On the OpenVPN side of the server, in the Tunnel Settings section, you can specify

                          1. IPv4 Local Network - the network to which you need access from the server side
                          2. IPv4 Remote network - 172.16.160.0/27 (network for routing through tunnel)

                          In this case, the client will know about the remote network behind the server and the server will know about your network 172.16.160.0/27

                          and shouldn't be a problem

                            Yes, we got that. Wrote to the guy, waiting for his changes, tomorrow, I assume.
                            I also made him change that /27 to /24, just to remove any special stuff to get it working first, then goon from there.

                              Good )))
                              If there are problems after establishing the connection, look at the routing table on your router-is there a route to the server network ? And at the other side of the tunnel, too, will have to check it )

                                I have checked that as we tested. No routes to that /27 on pfsense, although the ovpn-tunnel was up and we could ping the tunnel-endpoints. So I wait for /27 -> /24 to remove that q.

                                  You can always create a static route to the server network , but it is better to do everything correctly so that the server itself sends this information to the client )))
