      Hi

      I have a new pfsense setup, running 2.3.2-RELEASE-p1, with a static IP. I'm fairly new to this but spending tons of hours to learn various thing about this great product.

      1. I have a Site to Site VPN setup on this. Please see screen shots. I'm not using this for anything else. I havent setup any other packages. The machine has AES-NI enabled, but i havent configured that here.
      2. Created the service, used "Peer to Peer (Shared Key)", enabled adaptive compression AES-128-CBC
      3. Tunnel IP 10.0.8.0/24
      4. remote network 192.168.3.0/24, running behind an ISP Natted IP. Running Tomato Shibby on ASUS RT-AC66R
      5. Setup rules required in Firewall

      The tunnel comes up but no traffic & then it goes into a restart mode. I'm unable to ping or see any machines on either side.

      I've tried to read 7 follow many guides listed here & suggestions, BUT i'm unable to get it to work. Any ideas where i might be going wrong?

      Thanks in advance

      Attaching screengrabs from OpenVPN Server & tomato shibby config too

        Can you get any logs out of OpenVPN on Tomato/Shibby?

        From the server side log the client stopped responding, so hopefully its log would have some more detail as to why.

            ok, here you go. i just restarted the service on both sides & this is what i have on the tomato side (warehouse1).. i configured the syslog to log any blocks by firewall inbound OR outbound.

              i tired one more thing. i created a remote access server on pfsense & installed the OpenVPN Client on a windows box behind this tomato. it was able to connect & communicate.

              So my suspicion is something to do with the config on the tomato side.

              am gonna try using the remote access config in the remote access mode rather than site-to-site & revert back

                i think this boils down to the way OpenVPN is implemented in tomato.

                if i use a client from behind the tomato, i'm able to connect. if i use the same parameters, it connects but no traffic flows thro. ::) :o :o >:(
