IPSec stops working after IP Change on one Site

[dude140678]

Hello forum,

after googling my ass off and browsing/searching the pfsense forums/lists for hours i decided to post and hope to get some help with my IPSec Problem.

Setup:

Site A:

PFSense 1.2.3-RELEASE
WAN IP: dynamic with DYNDNS

The Tunnel is working after a fresh boot of the pfsense box. But only until the ISP changes the IP. After that happened the tunnel is beeing reestatblished but no traffic pass through

I have to reboot the PFSENSE Box to get the tunnel working again.

This is the ping output from the pfsense ssh shell. i tried to ping the lan ip of the remote gateway and it seems that pfsense ist routing this traffic to its default gateway , which is in my case hansenet.

any help woul be really really apreciated. rebooting the pfsense box once a day is not so funny.

switch to site-site OpenVPN and I think you will see your VPN problems disappear.   I love IPSec but I haven't found it to be reliable unless both ends have a static IP.  site-site OpenVPN has been rock solid with one end static and the other end dynamic.
