IPsec connection LAN-to-LAN doesn't work - pls help

  • E

    Hi!

    I try to conect my pfSense to a remote router (TP-Link TL-6120). The setup of the TP-Link is not very difficult - I use the following settings:

    SETUP Side-B

Mode:                 LAN-to-LAN
Local Subnet:         192.168.0.0/24
Remote Subnet:        10.0.0.0/15
Remote Gateway:       [myDynDns]

IPsec Proposal 1: 
. Security Protocol:  ESP
. ESP Authentication: SHA1
. ESP Encryption:     AES256

PFS:                  NONE
SA Lifetime:          28800

IKE Policy:
. Excange Mode:       Main
. Local ID Type:      IP Address
. Local ID:           Local WAN IP
. Remote ID Type:     IP Adress
. Remote ID:          Remote Gateway ID
. Pre-shared Key:     secretkey
. SA Lifetime:        28800
. DPD:                Enable
. DPD Interval:       15

IKE Proposal:
. Authentification:   SHA1
. Encyption:          AES256
. DH Group:           DH5

    Here are the settings of my pfSense (Side-A):

    SETUP Side-A

Phase 1:

. Key Excahnge version:   V1
. Internet Protocol:      IPv4
. Interface:              WAN
. Remote gateway:         [remoteDynDNS]

. Authentication method:  Mutual PSK
. Negotiation mode:       main
. My identifier:          Dynamic DNS - [myDynDns]
. Peer identifier:        Peer ID address
. Pre-shared key:         secretkey

. Encryption algorithm:   AES - 256 bits
. Hash algorithm:         SHA1
. DH key group:           5 (1536 bit)
. Lifetime:               28800

. NAT Traversak:          Auto
. Dead Peer Detection:    checked - 15 seconds - 15 retries

Phase 2:

. Mode:                   Tunnel IPv4
. Local Network:          Network - 10.0.0.0/15
. Remote Network:         Network - 192.168.0.0/24

. Protcol:                ESP
. Encryption algorithm:   AES - auto
. Hash algorithm:         SHA1
. PFS key group:          off
. Lifetime:               28800

IPsec Setting:

. Unique IDs:             YES
. Unencrypted payloads:   checked

    After start the IPsec Service I get the following log-entries:

    Your identifiers don't match. You have an IP on one side and a domain name on the other.

    Thanks for your answer! There was as mistake in the DynDns.

    Now, the connection is established, but I can't ping any client on the remote side.

    I get the following log-entries:

    Thanking you in anticipation.

    Still something mismatched there. NO_PROP seems to indicate an identifier mismatch. Try hard coding the current IP and using only IP identifiers, no dyndns anywhere, and see if that works. That'll at least narrow it down some.

    Now, I have a stable IPsec tunnel, but i can't reach any client on the remote side. I get the following logs:
