        I can confirm applying patches:

        https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/commit/95a4e1a0e42392fe4523bf769589f74864446f8c.patch
        https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/commit/4e5857b656c7bfd59efadbb9a124876a5516c7df.patch

        Solves the problem.

        However, please note that, status pages of both ipsec and openvpn became extremely slow in 2.5 if you have a little more tunnels. In my case around 10 ipsec and around 150 openvpn

          @viktor_g Hi, I had installed all the patches and it worked .... until I setup another VPN tunnel. now both are shown as offline. :(
          Any ideas?
          Cheers

            @marco42 I am seeing something similar on the IPSec status page. I have 18 IPSec connections that are all working. However on the status page, 50% of these connections show up twice. First the connection shows up with a blank name but shows there is a connection:
            427f14d7-69fd-46a7-a310-91bbcbc03bc3-image.png

            Then the connection shows up at the bottom of the status screen using the title and shows it is disconnected:

              Currently I have only one of two connections online but yes. It looks like this:

                @marco42 same issue. I've got only one Ipsec Vpn displayed correctly, and I don't know why.

                  On 2.4.5-p1 some of my OpenVPN Status'es also show up as down.
                  Seems to occur after short ouages , but only for some of them.

                  I have added the "Gateway widget" , and trust that instead. You'll get latency time and loss ,as a "Bonus" on the Gateway widget.

                      Hi Bingo,
                      but how do you get the IPSec conntections to the Gateway widget? I can only see my "Internet Gateways" (IPv4 and IPv6)

                        Aren't those Lan to Lan tunnels ?

                        I don't have any IPSec tunnels , only OpenVPN with an interface per tunnel.
                        But I did expect IPSec L2L tunnels to use gateways too. And they would show up there.

                        I might have misunderstood how pfSense handles IPSec L2L

                        Edit:
                        Here's how my GW's look , 1 x OpenVPN L2L , and 3 x RoadWarrior servers

                          Hi,
                          yes, its a side2side or lan2lan configuration and its not so nicely shown in the Getaway widget.
