IPsec Down notifications
-
Hi,
I noticed that I not receive any notifications if IPsec goes down by SMTP. I thought that this must be supported.
Additionaly there is optional field to ping host inside a IPsec for each Phase2: Automatically ping host, what it purpose? I thought this used for advanced "Up monitoring" if Phase1&2 successful connection not anought. But what a point in this if I doesn't have any IPsec connectivity warnings notifications at all? Or I missed something?
Thanks in advance. -
The ping host option is a way to a keep a phase2 up, by generating “interesting traffic”. Sometimes this can be handy.
It has nothing to do with monitoring the VPN. I would LOVE a way to monitor the tunnels, preferably on the phase2 level, and being informed when it fails. But so far it seems there is no easy way to do this.... -
@wickeren I'm shocked that this "problem", due pfsense is actually know what up and what is down per each phase! There is dashboard widget that works correct, so create event I think is not so hard to send email. I'm now facing more stupid issue with multi-home (2wans with ddns): another side not try re-resolve dns on failed connection and try use old ip for communication which is wrong

Probably not, but It hasn’t been made by the developpers yet...
Maybe someone from Netgate will jump in and explains why. -

If you really need it and are willing to pay for it.
Else the best you can do is hope that it will come some time... -
