Use SHA if both sides support it, otherwise use the strongest hash supported by both endpoints. The default is OK for this endpoint. The other lifetime-related values should be left at their defaults on this endpoint as they are automatically calculated as the correct values.
Leave checked, the default Delay of 10 seconds and Max Failures of 5 is adequate. Depending on the needs at a site a higher value may be better, such as 30 seconds and 6 retries, but a problematic WAN connection on either side may make that too low. Now add settings for phase 2 on this VPN.
For comprehensive coverage of all IPsec phase 2 settings, see Phase 2 Settings. In most cases the best practice is to leave this as LAN Subnet , but it can be changed to Network with the proper subnet value filled in. In this case that would be Leaving it as LAN Subnet will ensure that if the network is renumbered in the future, this end of the tunnel will follow. If that does happen, the other end must be changed manually.
Set to the network at Site B, in this case The remainder of the phase 2 settings cover the encryption of the traffic. Encryption algorithms and Hash algorithms can both be set to allow multiple options in phase 2, and both sides will negotiate and agree upon the settings so long as each side has at least one of each in common.
In some cases that may be a good thing, but it is usually better to restrict this to the single specific options desired on both sides.
Otherwise, use AES , or the highest strength cipher supported by both endpoints. Perfect Forward Secrecy can help protect against certain key attacks, but is optional.
This example uses 14 bit. Use for this example, and leave Rekey Time and Rand Time at their default calculated placeholder values. The tunnel for Site A is finished, but now firewall rules are needed to allow traffic from the network at Site B to enter through the IPsec tunnel. See Firewall for specifics on adding rules. Rules may be as permissive as desired, allow any protocol from anywhere to anywhere , or restrictive allow TCP from a certain host on Site B to a certain host at Site A on a certain port.
As with other firewall rules, the connections are checked on the way into the firewall, so the source of all traffic on the IPsec tab rules will be remote VPN networks, such as those at Site B. Make sure the Source address es on the firewall rules match Site B addresses, such as The destination addresses will be on Site A, such as Now that Site A is configured, it is time to tackle Site B.
Repeat the process on the Site B endpoint to add a tunnel. The PfSense firewall is configured through the web interface so the following window will open after clicking on the IPsec submenu under VPN. Click on Plus button to add a new policy of the IPsec tunnel on the local side in this case side-a.
Two modes of the IKE phase or the key exchange version are v1 and v2. In the key exchange version, however, is selected automatically. The WAN interface is selected to establish the tunnel and the IP address of the remote device in this case side-b is specified in the remote gateway field. The following snapshot shows the selection of the authentication mechanism for the 1st phase. The main mode was chosen because it is safer than the aggressive mode.
The following snapshot also shows the encryption setting for the first phase. Click on Plus button to add phase 2 policy to the PfSense firewall. In the following snapshot, local and remote networks are included in the policy. Further settings e. The following screenshot shows the overview of the VPN configured on device-a.
Click on plus button to add phase 2 policy on PfSense firewall. In the following snapshot, local and remote network are included in the policy. The following screenshot shows the overview of VPN configured on device-a.
As shown below, current status of VPN is disconnected. Click on connect button to start negotiation with remote device.
Click on the Logs to view IPsec detailed logs for troubleshooting purpose. Status of VPN is also checked using command line utility such as setkey and ipsec status command. Strongswan is open source implementation of IPsec which is available in mostly open source firewalls. Thanks for the guide!
I have one Question though, I can connect from my network to other network ipsec network via ssh to any servers. Can you check the same issue without IPSec tunnel? I mean to say if you face the same issue without IPsec vpn then i will guide you. Please check and update.
