      Hi,

      I have been using for a few months now and I was able establish the ipsec tunnels between 2 PFSENSE firewalls and also between PFSENSE and SOPHOS firewall. Well all tunnels were seemed to be working fine till I upgraded to pfsense v2.5 and now after the update one of the pfsense firewalls has stopped to connect the ipsec tunnels. Out of the 4 tunnels 3 are not working and 1 is working but its not very reliable as it disconnects alot of time.

      Here is the log and swanctl.conf which I read in another post and thought that I must post it I have been trying to fix this my self for the past few days intermittently but to no avail a help on this would be deeply appreciated.

      Here is my network map and I am using FQDN instead of the IP addresses for better understanding since IP Addresses are not intuitive.

        Hi
        In your case, you need to look at the logs from the side of Sophos

        Mar  7 16:47:44 firewall charon[77898]: 06[NET] <con9000|214> received packet: from sophos_ip_address[500] to pf_sense_ip_address[500] (36 bytes)
        Mar  7 16:47:44 firewall charon[77898]: 06[ENC] <con9000|214> parsed IKE_SA_INIT response 0 [ N(NO_PROP) ]
        Mar  7 16:47:44 firewall charon[77898]: 06[IKE] <con9000|214> received NO_PROPOSAL_CHOSEN notify error
        

        The NO_PROPOSAL_CHOSEN error in phase 1 may be caused by

        1. Phase 1 Encryption Algorithm Mismatch
          or
        2. Phase 1 Hash Algorithm Mismatch
          or
        3. Phase 1 DH Group Mismatch
