      Hello!

      After upgrading to 2.2.2 from 2.2, my L2TP/IPSec setup stopped working.
      The connecting device only says "The L2TP-server did not respond".

      Looking in the IPSec-logs in pfsense, this is the only line that seems odd to me:

      charon: 16[KNL] can't install route for 79.138.*.*/32|/0[udp/65198] === 83.250.*.*/32|/0[udp/l2f] in, conflicts with IKE traffic

      Whats wrong? This is driving me crazy!

      Edit: Full log:

        Can you show your configuration?

          Sorry.
          I'm using this exact(!) config:

          https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/L2TP/IPsec

          Edit:
          I did revert to my 2.2.1 snapshot, that one still works, but the "conflicts with IKE traffic" is also there, but the log after is different:

          May 12 12:39:23	charon: 05[KNL] can't install route for 79.138.*.*/32|/0[udp/57280] === 83.250.*.*/32|/0[udp/l2f] in, conflicts with IKE traffic

          Edit 2:
          Ok so I reproduced the error:

          1. Im on 2.2.1 - vpn ok
          2. Use built in ugprader to 2.2.2 + Reboot
          3. VPN does not work anymore

          https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/2.2.2_New_Features_and_Changes
          I see 6 points of IPSec fixes in the patch notes, one is strongSwan upgrade.

          Strange I'm the first one with this problem…

          I did revert to 2.2.1 for the time beeing.
