site2site VPN and remote access stopped

I am running 8.300.  Today I noticed that my site 2 site VPN and my L2TP (iphone) remote access stopped working for my local astaro.

All I could find strange in the logs for my local machine was packet filter dropping packets from my remote site2site VPN machine.

2012:01:09-00:00:18 brk ulogd[5543]: id="2001" severity="info" sys="SecureNet" sub="packetfilter" name="Packet dropped" action="drop" fwrule="60001" initf="eth1" srcmac="0:1d:a2:xx:xx:xx" dstmac="0:11:a:xx:xx:xx" srcip="70.123.XX.XX" dstip="72.183.XX.XX" proto="6" length="64" tos="0x00" prec="0x00" ttl="55" srcport="62942" dstport="36804" tcpflags="SYN" 

To test the packet filter, I added a rule to allow all traffic from the remote machine.  remote_ip -> any -> any.

After this, the packets were still dropping.

Not sure where else to look, I rebooted the machine.

When it came back up, I found the site to site tunnel was up and all was working fine.

Suggestions?

  • You should be able to see if the interface changes state by looking at /var/log/confd-debug.log.
  • Status is going to 0 when I click the disable button.  Also, I see the network traffic fail over to the DSL interface.

  • Remote access and site 2 site stopped working again today.  I didn't change anything significant that I know of over the past 5 days other then adding a new SSID to wireless.

    When I was out today and tried it for the first time in a long time there was once again no remote access.  toggling on/off the site2site vpn and it worked again.

    BTW - anyway to move this to the correct thread?  I'm sorry I didn't see the correct section for VPN before I posted.
