      Hi

      I have a site to site VPN running from home to my wifes work between two Cisco 800 ADSL routers, it works perfectly but I have now moved the work Internet access to a Fibre connection that Terminates on a PFSense Firewall. (PPPoE)

      I want to move the IPSEC VPN so that it now runs from the Cisco 800 at home to the PF Sense firewall, I have searched and found some articles but none that are specific to Cisco 800 routers, I found one that is for a ASA but the IPSEC seems very different.

      Has anyone done this successfully, do you have a setup document that you can share?

      regards

      Peter

        Anything detailing IOS should work with the Cisco 800. Yes, ASA/PIX are different.

        It's just IPSec. What versions of IOS/pfSense are you talking about?

          Hi
          The Router version is Version 12.4(24)T6, the PFSense box is 2.2.5-RELEASE (i386)

          On the Cisco I just changed the remote host since I already had the VPN configured to run to a Cisco 800 on the remote side, this is the config on the Home side now.

          crypto isakmp policy 1
          encr 3des
          hash md5
          authentication pre-share
          group 2
          crypto isakmp key "superkey" hostname "officesite".dyndns.org

          crypto ipsec transform-set TS esp-3des esp-md5-hmac
          !
          crypto map vpn-to-hq 10 ipsec-isakmp
          set peer "officesite".dyndns.org dynamic
          set transform-set TS
          match address VPN-TRAFFIC

          ip access-list extended VPN-TRAFFIC
          permit ip 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.255 10.1.0.0 0.0.3.255

          access-list 100 deny  ip 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.255 10.1.0.0 0.0.3.255
          access-list 100 permit ip 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.255 any

          Then attached are the PFsense screens, if this is correct then I have a rule problem possibly..

            Looking at it briefly I think you should look at the peer identification. It looks like the 800 is set to FQDN and pfSense is set to IP addresses.
