      Hello,

      We encounter some strange issue with VPN IPSEC, we disable it Phase 1 and Phase 2 + restart ipsec service. When we try to check status, we see persistent Phase 1 blocked on status Connecting. We try several times to force disconnect (with GUI and command line) but on VPN Status we continue to see persistent Phase 1 blocked on status Connecting

      PS : other thing from CLI when we try to list specific con with help of command swanctl --list-conns | grep "con40" no result

      Could you help us please

      thank you very much for your help

      Best Regards

        @pfsense7515 said in VPN IPSEC fully disabled Phase 1 blocked on Connecting Status:

        we disable it Phase 1 and Phase 2 + restart ipsec service.

        The restart button there is actually closer to 'reload'. I would still expect it to stop existing instances buy try stopping then starting the service instead.

          Hello @stephenw10

          Thank you for you reply. Finally, we solved issue.

          Phase 1 disabled was in Ikve1 config mode and VPN IPsec status blocked on Connecting message indicated ikve2

          So we reenabled Phase1 with ikve2 + we force disconnect Phase 1 from vpn status and now it's oks

          Best Regards
