I have an IPSEC VPN Setup between 2 sites. One site uses an Astaro and the other a Watchguard Firebox. The VPN will stay "connected" for quite sometime, but during this time the SAs will randomly drop. There are 10 SAs in this 1 connection, and due to the descrepancies in the hardware at each site, or possibly the firmware on the firebox that is out of warranty so cannot be updated, or possibly even due to the isp at 1 site being comcast business, the SAs fall off in groups of 1 - all 10 at once by the time i notice. This is even with the remote site using the watchguard configured with VPN Keepalive to ping servers behind the astaro.
Without troubleshooting that, i'd like to implement a workaround to have the astaro restart the vpn each morning at 2am via a cronjob. The vpn is called "BOVPN_Singer_Firebox"
Is this possible? Or are you gonna send me into a troubleshooting nightmare of figuring out exactly why the SAs drop lol
thanks!
