Hi, i've two openbsd firewalls running
1x OpenBSD 4.9 (amd64) in our office 1x OpenBSD 5.0 (amd64) in our co location. we have a vpn set up between both locations via /etc/ipsec.conf isakmpd is setup to not read any konfiguration files: === /etc/rc.conf.local === isakmpd_flags="-4 -K -v" === /etc/rc.conf.local === now from time to time the vpn becomes "unavailable", though the established security association is visible via ipsecctl -sa. i don't find anything suspucios in the log only "quick mode done" === /etc/ipsec.conf === ike active esp from $local_net to $remotenet peer $remotepeer \ main auth hmac-sha1 enc aes group modp1024\ quick auth hmac-sha1 enc aes group modp1024\ psk MyPsKMyPsKMyPsKMyPsKMyPsKMyPsKMyPsKMyPsKMyPsKMyPsK === /etc/ipsec.conf === are there any hints what would be the best to debug next? as till now i didn't see a pattern there. delete the ruleset manually by solves the probleme temporarily which could be needed more often when forced. === ipsecctl -d -f /etc/ipsec.conf; ipsecctl -f /etc/ipsec.conf === Georg
