RV042 to pfsense tunnel help- pfsense to pfsense works

[justsomeguy6575]

Hi,
I'm trying to setup a tunnel between a RV042 and pfsense v2.0.1. I've searched the forum and found a few old threads but nothing that really helped and most were before pfsense v2. Here is the log I get when trying to start the tunnel.

Thanks for any help.

phase 1:

Phase 2:

Update:

I changed the option Proposal Checking on pfsense to Obey instead of Default and the tunnel came right up. What does default do that's different than say obey?

Thanks,

OK spoke too soon.
I can get a tunnel only if I initiate it from the RV042. I can't get a tunnel initiating from the pfsense side. I enabled debug mode and these are the last few lines where it fails. Yet phase 2 settings look the same between the two. Again the tunnel work if started from teh RV042 side.

Any thoughts?

If it works with Obey and only when they initiate, then you have a settings mismatch. Most likely in Phase 1.

With Obey, it is more lenient and will accept the Phase 1 settings proposed by the initiator, rather than strictly using exactly what you set.

[justsomeguy6575]

Thanks for the reply, I've checked everything in phase 1 and I can't see anything different. I tried changing Identifiers to the actual IP's instead of My Ip and Peer IP didn't seem to help. I switched Obey back to Default and I see this in the log "ERROR: none message must be encrypted" I have no idea what that means.

You have PFS enabled on the P2 on the pfSense end and it's not enabled on the other side. (Not sure how, but I didn't see the screenshots when I replied before…)

[justsomeguy6575]

Thank you for your help Jimp, I rechecked PFS on the RV042 but it still didn't work. After changing and changing back a few other settings I ended up setting both sides to Main instead of Aggressive. I was able to initiate a tunnel from the pfsense side this time and it seems to be working good now.

Again Thanks
