IPSec Tunnel stops working if I try to SSH to the other Firewall
-
Hey Everybody! So I've got two netgate pfsense devices that have an IPSec VPN between them. Randomly, the tunnel seems to freeze and stop passing all traffic. I had noticed that this seems to happen a lot if I am managing the firewall on the other end (using the web interface). Here is an example that always causes the issue:
I'm in Site A and I try to SSH to the private IP address of the firewall in Site B. The tunnel immediately stops working but I don't see any errors in the log.
The only way to get the tunnel to start working again is to disconnect and reconnect it.
Any ideas?
