      Hello,

      When I use my IPSec from my iPhone 12 Pro (16.3.1) to connect to my Netgate 4100 it connects fine and the tunnel routes correctly my data.
      But after a couple of seconds/minutes the negate 4100 crashes and reboots. There is no crash report and the crash is reproducible by connecting via IPSec from my iPhone again.

      Any thoughts? Do you need more screenshots to analyse?

        The system logs from the last minute or so ?

        Most probably, the logs will not indicate what actually happened.
        If the system was failing, but still being able to create a crash dump, you would find some info also in the ligs.
        In this case it's a 'sudden death', and you're still lucky the system actually reboot and doesn't freeze.

        Is this 23.01 ?

        Btw : thanks for the suggestion. My iPhone handles classic VPN just fine, I never realized I could also do IPSEC.
        I'm using a 4100 also.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          @gertjan Yes, I am on 23.01.
          There seem to be no error logs and the logs show only normal traffic between the ipsec client and pfsense. There is also no craosh log.
          The error is hard to catch. I hooked up my laptop with the serial console, and now it is not reproducable.

          It seems wireguard would be the better choice for me.

              @nogbadthebad Thanks for sharing that config.
              I will make some experiments with the settings.
              Currently I am trying to catch the error on the console. Still no success. Still no more sudden reboots.
