      Hello! I have three pfSense routers that connect to each other with IPsec VTIs then exchange routes with FRR. I had one die and I needed to restore it from a recent backup. After reinstalling pfSense and reinstalling the config, both tunnels on that router won't work. If I go to Status > IPsec I can see that there is traffic in on both tunnels but no traffic out. Any ideas? I tried rebooting all three routers, rebuilding the tunnel config, and re-reinstalling so far. The only other thing I noticed was this error in the system logs: querying policy 0.0.0.0/0|/0 === 0.0.0.0/0|/0 in failed, not found. I noticed the same error on both sides of all three tunnels so it doesn't seem to be new or irregular.
