Setting up IPsec VPN pfsense to dsr dlink-1000 router

Gap

@Derelict @kiokoman

I'm having hard time opening the port 500 for this dsr- dlink 1000 router

but I think this is how to open it.

kiokoman

no, you opened port from 1 to 500 for outgoing and from 1 to 4500 for incoming

i don't known the dlink but you probably need 2 rules

udp
Outgoing
start port 500
to 500

Incoming
start port 500
to 500

another rules with

udp
outgoing
start port 4500
to 4500
incoming
start port 4500
to 4500

check if you have the latest firmware for the dlink

Gap

@kiokoman I already done that but it didnt help that's why i go crazy wait hang on lemme change it. and for the firmware its already up to date sadly :(

kiokoman

@kiokoman

nope.

Gap

@kiokoman oh no it appears that I can upgrade the firmware up to 3.14

kiokoman

ok but i think the rules are on the wrong interface, it shoul be WAN not LAN

Gap

@kiokoman yes I agree on that but my only options are LAN and DMZ. damn this DSR is really a pain in the ass.

i've read the manual and saw some video on youtube, it seems that there is no need to open the port

what i would suggest at this point is to upgrade the firmware, completely reset /hard reset the router and start over

Gap

@kiokoman thank you so much! I've upgraded the router to the latest version. I will try to factory default this and start over.

And probably about time to ask on the D-Link forums instead of here.
