ipsec ipv6, no incoming packets on both side
-
Hello everyone,
I'm asking for your attention regarding my problem because, despite digging, I haven't been able to resolve the following:
- One of my sites has IPv6 + cgnat internet access, and the other has IPv4 + IPv6. The networks I want to route between this site and the "hub" router are IPv4.
- The firewalls on each side are pfsense.
- The tunnel runs between the two firewalls (phase 1 and 2).
- From the IPsec monitoring, I can clearly see outgoing traffic when I ping a device on the other end.
- From neither side, I see any incoming traffic from the IPsec monitoring (0 packets).
- The firewall rules for IPsec are well defined.
In short, I'm having a nightmare.
In terms of logs, I have nothing to suggest there's a problem with IPsec.
And at the network level, I should at least see incoming packets on the monitoring. IPSecI've thoroughly examined the VPN troubleshooting section of the Netgate documentation, and as for my specific situation...
A little help wouldn't be amiss. Any ideas?
The "hub" part runs on a vm on Azure, it is impossible to assign a public ipv6 address, a dnat (1to1) is therefore automatically created and this cannot be circumvented, could the problem come from the nat-t?
