      built on Tue Dec 01 22:17:20 CST 2015

      I have two spur offices that I am testing on.  Did upgrade tonight and lost VPN connectivity to both.  Still have a way in so I can see the routers are working otherwise.

      VPN still shows connected on both ends.

          Is this an SSL/TLS remote access setup with client-specific overrides?

          If so, what options do you have specified in the overrides, and what do the contents of /var/etc/openvpn-csc/<server id="">/ <common name="">look like?</common></server>

            Hi JimP

            Its a peer to peer shared key setup.

              Hmm, nothing should have changed for shared key. Are those log messages found on both sides? Are both sides 2.3?
              Can you share the contents of the /var/etc/openvpn/*.conf files? Or at least the lines inside with ifconfig and route (No need to see keys or anything secret)

                ~~Actually might be a bigger issue somewhere else.

                I cant get to anything behind the firewall with port forward rules Ive had for years. (Outside of the VPN.)

                I simply disable firewall rules when Im not using them as I use the VPN instead.~~  Im letting one of the sites update to the latest snap and will report back.

                Axe that- loose nut behind the wheel!

                Working on your requests now.

                One side is 2.2.5 and the two test sites are 2.3

                All 2.2.5 sites working fine.

                    Hmm it's adding topology there when it shouldn't be added for shared key. I'll take a look in the code and find a fix.

                        I was able to modify my config files on both affected machines and everything came back fine. So no other underlying issues. (But you knew that already.)  :)

                          OK I just pushed a fix, you can gitsync to pick it up in a few minutes, or wait until the next snapshot build and upgrade that way.
