      Hi

      We have multiple IPSEC VPNs configured on our pfSense boxes.

      Each VPN is configured as a ipsec initiator to a remote site.

      If there is an issue with connectivity at a remote site, the VPN drops.
      When the sites connectivity is reestablished the VPN doesn't automatically re connect.. We have to force the connection from the pfSense server.

      Is there anyway to configure this so pfSense will attempt to automatically re establish the VPN  when the sites connection is back up ?

      Thanks

        Hello,

        I'm a newbie on pfSense but I had the same question ! I mock up a platform for a client and when I practice an interruption, the VPN IPSec don't go back up.
        Do you find a solution ?

        Regards,
        W.
