Hello fellow netgate community members can you please help?

I do not know what this error is from or how to correct it.

It's the bootup script stopping IPSec before starting it just to make sure it's not already running.

It's ugly but harmless and expected if ipsec is enabled.

@stephenw10 Thanks for reply. I was also informed on redline last night.
