      Hi,

      We're operating with 2 pfsense servers with one 32bit & one recently upgraded to 64bit boxes with CARP setup.

      First time I noticed that the OpenVPN traffics were dropping after few seconds: WAN side was ok, however, LAN side traffics gets disconnected. Also, the ssh & web interface traffic to the 64bit pfSense box also gets disconnected.

      So, I tried to solve it with the Asymmetric Routing solution: turn on "Bypass firewall rules for traffic on the same interface." However, it didn't work.

      I've also turned on "State Killing on Gateway Failure" & "Skip rules when gateway is down." They didn't work either.

      Then, I tried to add all flag any pass TCP rules for both of Floating & LAN. After this, OpenVPN traffics seems ok & work flawless to other hosts. However, ssh & web interface traffic In/Out of pfSense box still gets disconnected after about 10 seconds.

      So, I'm out of option right now. Please help me to solve the problem.

      Thanks.

      –-----------------

      Solved it by: changing the LAN pass TCP state rules to sloppy state.

      Anybody has explanation to this behavior, it would be much appreciated.
