[pfSense] ipsec tunnel closes

[Jochem de Waal]

I'm running 1.2.3

I have an IPsec tunnel to another site, which closes unless there is
traffic I want it up 24/7 so I put a remote IP in the "keep alive,
automatically ping host" section of the setup.
It still behaves the same way. Is this to be expected (known bug or
something) or have I done something wrong?

Hi Nick,

 

We have many IPSEC tunnels to our customers using pfSense 1.2.3 and also
on 2.0 without any problems.

What could be the problem in your case is the lifetime of phase 1 and 2

Try setting phase 1 to 28800 and phase 2 to 3600. This should be the
same on both sides.

 

Cheers,

Jochem
