Packet Filtering Rule for outbound Cisco VPN

I am looking for some help in setting up a rule to allow the Cisco VPN client to connect to remote sites. We have a few customers that require us to connect to their network through the Cisco VPN client. I have added a rule to allow IPsec traffic from the internal network to the external interface, but we still cannot connect. Any ideas?

Internal (Network) > External (WAN) (Address)
IPSec

Have you opened the port for NAT-T?

I am using the built in IPSec group definition. It includes AH, ESP, IKE, and NAT-T.

Check the PacketFilter log on Astaro.

It is dropping port 500.

15:20:02 Default DROP UDP 192.168.1.110 : 500 → 162.119.232.200 : 500
len=897 ttl=127 tos=0x00 srcmac=00:13:20:6b:23:51 dstmac=00:1a:8c:15:9f:70

15:20:09 Default DROP UDP 192.168.1.110 : 500 → 162.119.64.200 : 500
len=897 ttl=127 tos=0x00 srcmac=00:13:20:6b:23:51 dstmac=00:1a:8c:15:9f:70

I assume that you'e tried putting the Cisco client outside the Astaro and confirmmed that it does connect without the Astaro in the equation.

Show a picture of the PF rule you set up for IPSec.

The client was working prior to installing the Astaro.

Destination should be ANY, not EXTERNAL.

I'm just the straight man. I provide the setup and Barry delivers the punch line[;)]

Thanks, Barry, I hope you can give me some input or questions on my thread about configuring Ethernet/VMware/Astaro.

Having the same problem with my Cisco VPN client that worked from home before ASG.

22:27:18 Default DROP UDP 192.168.253.160 : 4991 → 207.225.150.15 : 62515

len=40 ttl=127 tos=0x00 srcmac=00:0c:29:37:15:95 dstmac=00:0c:29:37:15:81

Port 62515 instead of 500. Do I needs IPSEC and VPN protocols?

Yes. Create a new Service definition named, e.g., "Cisco VPN 62515" and add it to the "IPsec" Services group.

I added the new service and added it to the "IPSec" services group. No more dropped packets but the Remote Desktop connection to my work computer still doesn't work. Nothing showing up in the Live Log.

Where should I look next?

That sounds like a new question. Please start a new thread and give good information as you did in your first post; "it's broke" is pretty hard to analyze. [;)]
