IPsec on 2.5.0 uses first VIP instead of WAN address

hansmeets

Hi folks,

I have upgraded from 2.4.5_p1 to 2.5.0 and my IPsec connection has stopped working.

I found out that the local host address for IPsec was set to the first Virtual IP (xxx.xxx.180.187 instead of the WAN address (xxx.xxx.180.186). I've fixed it temporarily by adjusting the ID's and remote peer on the other side to the VIP address.

swanctl:

con2000: IKEv2, no reauthentication, rekeying every 25920s, dpd delay 10s
  local:  xxx.xxx.180.187
  remote: xxx.xxx.180.170
  local pre-shared key authentication:
    id: xxx.xxx.180.186
  remote pre-shared key authentication:
    id: xxx.xxx.180.170

swanctl.conf:

local_addrs = xxx.xxx.180.187
                remote_addrs = xxx.xxx.180.170
                pools =
                local {
                        id = xxx.xxx.180.186
                        auth = psk
                }
                remote {
                        id = xxx.xxx.180.170
                        auth = psk
                }

ifconfig:

em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        description: WAN
        options=81009b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,VLAN_HWFILTER>

Any idea? Thanks!
Let me know if you need more input.

@hansmeets There is an open bugreport for this:
https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/11545

workaround:

Go into the WAN interface, hit save with no changes, and Apply Changes.
Restart IPSec service

Do the WAN interface use some kind of dynamic IP address (DHCP/PPPoE) or is it a static IP?

Thanks, I was looking for IPsec bugs, haven't seen that one!

The WAN interface is set with a static IP.

I will try the solution later today in off-hours.

I can confirm that saving the WAN interface (without changes) indeed worked as a workaround.

All is working now. Thank you!
