          @jimp I can confirm that after the upgrade, the problem still persist. I cannot make the tunnel to connect manually.

            Do you see anything in the IPsec logs when you click the button?

            If you right click the button and copy the URL, what are the parameters? (e.g. status_ipsec.php?act=connect&ikeid=1)

            And what kind of tunnel is it? Does it have a defined remote gateway address or is using something like an FQDN or maybe 0.0.0.0/0/%any?

              Hello Jimp, I would like to help, is it safe to test 21.02p2 in a SG-3100?
              Thanks for the efforts that Netgate is doing to solve the problems.

              dead on arrival, nowhere to be found.

                It should be, yes. I'm running 21.02.2 on two SG-3100 units here and thus far haven't had any major issues.

                    Is it VTI or tunnel mode?

                    What does its connection block in /var/etc/ipsec/swanctl.conf look like?

                      And you didn't say whether or not it has anything in the logs when you click it

                          That file couldn't have come from an RC image, are you sure you upgraded to 2.1.5 RC?

                            @jimp When I click the connect button does not say anything on the logs using:

                            tail -f /var/log/ipsec.log | grep XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

                                The problem is likely that all the child SA entries have overlapping names (e.g. a bunch are con0, con1, etc and don't have proper names. I don't see how that can happen on the RC image unless something else altered the code (like maybe you reverted a previously applied patch after upgrading). It was fixed by https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/11487 at least any case I've been able to replicate is fixed.

                                I can't replicate what you are seeing here but if there is a lingering issue it could be from something else in your config. If you can attach a copy of the <ipsec> section of your config.xml (with private stuff redacted) that may help.

                                But first make sure you didn't revert anything in the system patches package.

                                    I put in some dummy addresses and loaded that into a 2.5.1 RC VM and on mine, the config looks right, and the connect button works.

                                    I'm not quite sure what state your system is in but it's very questionable.

                                      @jimp Can you at least point me how to solve this problem? Should reinstall? Or anything that could result in sucess??

                                      Before upgrade to RC version, I had applied all the patches:

                                      ead6515637a34ce6e170e2d2b0802e4fa1e63a00 #11435

                                      But the ipsec status widget wasnยดt working, the connect button also wasnยดt working.. so I dunno

                                        @jimp For some reason now when I click on connect button it start showing connection:

                                          @jimp The other thing I just find out. The screen for the ipsec connections thatยดs working is different than the new ones. Follow:

                                          Ipsec Config Working:

                                          As you can see, the screen is different on Expiration Item

                                            The difference between those screenshots is the IKE version (IKEv1 vs Auto), the missing field is only valid for IKEv2 (and Auto can use IKEv2). It's not likely to be related to any problem you are seeing.
