IPSEC Mobile VPN setup broken after upgrade to 2.3.2 (from 2.2.2)
-
I am new to pFSense and am having some trouble getting my VPN setup to work. I can establish a tunnel connection successfully using my client from a remote internet connection but cannot ping or connect to any device IP's on the network anymore and there is no names resolution either (obviously). Nothing has changed in my configuration except the upgrade. I boosted some of the logging levels to the recommended settings for troubleshooting and have also ve attached a few screenshots just in case they may help to point me in the right direction. Also, if I can pull off any logs that may help in troubleshooting, do let me know.
Thanks in advance for

I just happened to check out the fw rules based on a conversation with a colleague. Nothing had changed for quite some time and shouldn't have been an issue as there hasn't been a change to the ruleset since way before my update to 2.3.2, however I did see that my IPSEC rule seemed disabled. I was monitoring my fw logs and amid the spam traffic, there, interspersed with spam traffic was IPSEC traffic as well! I re-enabled the IPSEC allow rule, and voila, the VPN client was passing traffic again! Hmmph, sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees?

I just thought I'd mention too that I'm not sure if it was the way that I performed the update that caused this, however, I was on the VPN connection when I performed the update. Probably a bone-headed thing to do which I will definitely not repeat! I also will not update without first:
- checking the release notes
- waiting for it to be around awhile to see if others have issues
- Not update without a full backup of the device
;D
