2.2.4 upgrade from 2.1.5 - ipsec now disconnects mobile clients.

  • S

    I've been reviewing the logs and nothing seems to jump at me.

    clients connect for 10 minutes or so and then disconnect. This config ran well for 3 years.
    Free pizza for whoever helps me figure this out!

    pfsense 2.2.4 on my hardware  - IKE1, aggressive, mutual psk
    clients are windows 7/8 using latest shrew client

    Here's the ipsec log:

    Consider Windows built in Agile VPN (scroll down a lot) which works well using IKEv2.  The password policy with Shrewsoft is annoying enough as it is to try something else.

    Not enough of the log there to say for sure what's happening.
    Set the logs for debugging as suggested at https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/IPsec_Troubleshooting#Common_Errors_.28strongSwan.2C_pfSense_.3E.3D_2.2.x.29

    Consider switching to a newer style VPN such as https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/IKEv2_with_EAP-MSCHAPv2 if your clients are all Windows 7 or later.

    jimp,
    Thanks a ton for your recommendation - I went ahead with ikev2 implementation with eap per your recommendation.
    I really appreciate your help, and pizza can be yours when you are ready!

    I do have an existing issue:
    Basic setup is 10.0.0.0/8 local network. Vpn is for remote users to access a local voip server. Remote users should not redirect other internet traffic through vpn. All other routing to internet should continue on the mobile users internet connection.
    I have enabled the "provide a list of accessible networks to clients"  feature.
    Virtual address pool is setup (192.168.250.0/24)

    When I connect using a windows 8.1 client, it continues to route all internet traffic to the VPN host, and since that is not allowed, all other internet traffic dies.  Traffic to the 10.0.0.0/8 through the vpn then works correctly.

    What I want to do is route only 10.0.0.0/8 through the vpn.

    If I go to the vpn network adapter in window 8 and uncheck "use default gateway on remote network"  then internet access on mobile end works fine, but i cannot ping the 10.0.0.0/8 network.

    Something I am missing here??
    I hope to push the config from the firewall and limit the amount of hand tuning on the windows 8.1 remotes
    You have my email if you want some pizza!

    SO, if strongwan is providing a list of accessible networks, should it not be telling the windows 8.1 client that 10.0.0.0/8 network should route to VPN and all other networks access through remote sites internet connection?

    0
  • S

    Hey Jimp,
    So I was able to uncheck the box on the windows 8.1 vpn connection to not use the default gateway on the vpn router. This allows mobile clients to continue using their own ISP for internet traffic.
    Then I manually added a route for the 10.0.0.0/8 network and that allows them to use the VOIP system at the office.

    However, I really don't want to have to train all the users to connect windows 8 vpn, then run a .cmd file to add the route.
    Since pfsense 2.2.4 option to "provide a list of accessible networks" is checked, I'm not sure why this isn't working.

    I really appreciate anyone's help.

    thanks,
    scott

    So adding:

    push "route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0";

    in the Advanced configuration didn't work?

  • S

    sorry, not sure I understand.
    Advanced configuration of the vpn or the client?

    0
  • S

    or are you thinking of push routes in openvpn?
