After upgrade to 2.5.0 IpSec connect button is not working

jimp

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:

But the ipsec status widget wasn´t working, the connect button also wasn´t 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 that´s working is different than the new ones. Follow:

Ipsec Config Working:

Ipsec Config NOT 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.
