VPN IPsec Remote gateway using DDNS doesn't update

[jimp]

Should be fixed in new snaps.

Thanks Jimp,

I also just noticed another error message in the build 2.0-BETA5  (i386) built on Mon Jan 31 07:16:37 EST 2011. I don't know if it is already fixed in the next snaps but I thought I should report it anyway.

When I uncheck "Enable IPSec", hit Save, then check "Enable IPSec" and hit Save again, I see the following error message at the top of the page:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /etc/inc/vpn.inc on line 908

You can see it in the attached screenshot.

Here is the code in that spot, it it helps:

/* start filterdns, if necessary */
if (count($filterdns_list) > 0) {
  $interval = 60;
  if (!empty($ipseccfg['dns-interval']) && is_numeric($ipseccfg['dns-interval']))
    $interval = $ipseccfg['dns-interval'];

  $hostnames = "";
  array_unique($filterdns_list);
  foreach ($hostname as $filterdns_list) ###### <---line 908
    $hostnames .= "cmd {$hostname} '/etc/rc.newipsecdns'\n";
  file_put_contents("{$g['varetc_path']}/filternds-ipsec.hosts", $hostnames);

  killbypid("{$g['varrun_path']}/filterdns-ipsec.pid");
  mwexec("/usr/local/sbin/filterdns -p {$g['varrun_path']}/filterdns-ipsec.pid -i {$interval} -c {$g['varetc_path']}/filterdns-ipsec.hosts -d 1");
}

[jimp]

Fixed now.

That should have been:

foreach ($filterdns_list as $hostname)

Hi Jimp,

Thanks for your very quick response. I applied your changes locally, in advance of the next snapshots. The error messages are now gone from the system log and from the IPSec config page. However, when the IP address on the dynamic side of the tunnel changes, the tunnel does not come back up. The change is detected by filterdns (because the system log shows "php: : IPSEC: One or more IPSEC tunnel endpoints has changed IP. Refreshing.") but the tunnel just does not come back up.

Attached are a series of obfuscated screenshots from both the static side and the dynamic before and after the dyndns IP address change. The address of the dynamic side was changed from x.x.x.198 to x.x.x.195. The address of the static side is 216.x.x.x. The are a lot of screenshots so please pay close attention to the words "staticSide", "dynamicSide", "Before" and "After" in the file names to figure out which is which.

(the screenshots are spread out over the next couple of posts because of attachment limits in this forum)

It is interesting to note that after the address change, the racoon service on the static side stopped, as shown in the screenshot "staticSide-ServicesStatus-AfterDyndnsChange.PNG". To get the tunnel back up, I had to start the stopped racoon service on the static side and restart the running racoon service on the dynamic side.

I'm encountering the same problem. Did you find a solution for it?

Did you try the latest firmware version?

[cegner]

Yes, but the problem still exists.

2.0-RC1 (i386)

[eri--]

Please post again te system logs and ipsec logs

[cegner]

Here you go.

At 04:00 the PPPoE connection was terminated. After the reconnect the IPSEC tunnel does not come up again (for hours) without a reload as the remote peer IP address has changed. It does not seem to lookup the hostname again.
