v17 MR5: VPN still unstable!

Hi,

 

I Upgraded to MR5 yesterday, all went great, suddenly this evening, tunnels start dropping up and down, and I am being "spammed" with notifications from my SFM that tunnels are terminated.

charon.log shows a lot of theese:

invalid ID_V1 payload length, decryption failed?                                

I have Read here:
Sophos XG Firewall: Cannot handle more than 2 concurrent Quick Mode exchanges per IKE_SA when using IKEv1

That there are issues in MR5, that will be resolved in MR6, but theese errors should read:
"invalid HASH_V1 payload length, decryption failed?"
as stated in the KB above.

I have 4 tunnels on my XG.

Are others seeing this?

A little more log:

  • (sorry I did not see your link with the way it was formatted before, I deleted my original reply to your post).

     

    Yes, I am getting these as well,  but we've had issues since   17.0   I'm hoping this fix will solve our tunnel issues we've had the past several months.   I've escalated this to support and the level 3 techs will be checking it out and hopefully implementing the work around.  

     

    What type of device do you have on the other end of the tunnel?

  • Just a FYI.   Sophos GES team was able to get into my sophos XG unit and apply the VPN fix to my unit last week Friday.  So far so good.  All SA's remain up and active.

  • Hi all,

    good to hear this.

    I'm having the same issue with MR5 with 2 Cisco IPsec Tunnels using Apple macOS and iOS in parallel.

    Is there a possibility to apply the fix as a home user as well?

    Thanks and best regards
