      Hello,

      a tunnel to another firewall (WatchGuard) crashes all the time. If I reboot the WatchGuard the tunnel comes up and is stable for about 20 minutes.

      Then I can't ping anything behind the remote network. pfSense shows the tunnel green.

      I triple-checked all settings on both sides. They are correct and matches each others. Also I have some more tunnel also to the same WatchGuard model on other locations which runs fine. ?!?!

      The log looks like that:

        Found one wrong setting in Advanced ("Prefer older SAs"). The tunnel itself stays up now (I can ping all the time), but the log nevertheless looks not good:

        Any idea?

        Both sides work with static IPs - I say this because the error in line 1 looks like I try to connect to a dynamic IP address…

        Thanks for ANY help!

        Best regards,

        Thorsten
