ipsec tunnel setup issues
-
Pfsense 2.6 and working on setting up a site to site ipsec VPN with a 3rd party so im limited on logs on their side.
I am pretty sure I have everything setup correctly based on the info the other side gave me but right now the tunnel isnt coming up and im fly blind with the other side.
Somethings I was wondering while I try to figure this out:
Is there anything in pfsense that will say the phase 1 is up but not the phase 2? (will phase 1 stay up if phase 2 fails and is that logged somewhere?)
What is the best logging settings to get the most info (without being overwhelm with useless data) so I can go to the other side with logs and say "this is what im seeing on my end when trying to stand up the tunnel".
I am working on getting some logs together on my side for this post so I can get another set of eyes to make sure im not missing something

@pfsenseuser1 No one has any suggestions on what the best logging settings are when it comes to troubleshooting? right now the current logs dont seem to be very helpful on why the tunnel isnt coming up

@pfsenseuser1 What does the IPSEC dashboard widget display?
Also check in:
http://{IPADDRESS}/status_logs.php?logfile=ipsecin setting you can reverse the order so recent is at the top.
