SSL VPN issue after UTM upgrade to 9.404-5

Hello,

after the UTM upgrade from 9.403-4 to 9.404-5 the SSL VPN connection is no longer working. I changed nothing on the configuration.

Now I get following error message:

...

Because tun1 is not available I tryed to execute this command for a test on another interface and then I got following error message:

RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument

I hope you can help me!

Many Thanks!

    So, the UTM is the server?  That's the closest I've seen here to a successful connection.  Can you show us a log where this worked before?  Preferably from both sides, but just the UTM side  would be interesting.

    Cheers - Bob

  • Guys, neither Sophos nor Astaro has marketed the SSL VPN as something that can be used with OpenVPN.  The same is true of the OpenVPN-based RED.  Unless a very large customer complains about this, or the fix is easy and extremely obvious, my guess is that it will be a long time before Sophos invests time in figuring this out.

    If you need the connection with a different OpenVPN variant, my guess is that your best bet at this point in time is to re-install with a 9.4 ISO and stop upgrading at 9.403.  I suspect that 9.356 had the same fixes as 9.404 - if someone tries to fix this by re-installing from a 9.35 ISO, please let us know if that worked.

    Cheers - Bob

  • Nice try

    Sophos SSL VPN is not only based on OpenVPN, no IT IS OpenVPN. Sophos takes OpenVPN packages to their system. Till now connections to OpenVPN systems works correct. 

    Here the rpm for the sophos ssl vpn that cause the problems with the latest release

    client-openvpn-9.40-11.g434309f.rb2.noarch.rpm
    chroot-openvpn-9.40-25.g2316a39.rb4.i686.rpm

    Now Sophos has changed something and broke this connections. This is still a Sophos Problem.

    2016:06:28-12:24:27 firewall openvpn[9229]: /bin/ip route change dev tun1 192.168.54.4/11 proto 41 src 192.168.54.6

    2016:06:28-12:24:27 firewall openvpn[9229]: Linux ip route change failed: external program exited with error status: 2

    It is a simple and correct route change after the connection established. So a standard action no longer works correct.

  • Hello Bob,

    I've reinstalled with a ISO to Version 9.355-1 and ist works.

    Greetings

  • Hi folks,

    I've got news from support (german).

    "das ist ein bekannter Fehler in der 9.404. Daher am besten IPSec Site2Site benutzen oder warten bis die 9.405 raus ist, damit sollte es behoben sein."

    wich means we should wait for 9.405.

    Greetings.

  • Nearly one month since the "buggy" release and still no solution!?

  • Up2Date 9.405005 package out now, no solution, same error.
    (Site2Site SSL from UTM to UTM)

    Site2site SSL Live log, just open it, no connection active:
    2016:08:02-09:15:03 UTM_MPCA_DEMO openvpn[7305]: MANAGEMENT: Client disconnected
    2016:08:02-09:15:03 UTM_MPCA_DEMO openvpn[7305]: Linux ip route change failed: external program exited with error status: 2
    2016:08:02-09:15:03 UTM_MPCA_DEMO openvpn[7305]: Exiting due to fatal error

    Interface tun0 is totally missing.

    By the way, how to install 9.403 if only ISO for 9.404-5.1 is available and buggy?

    Hitting the update button is killing the UTM. Backupfile from 9.4 cannot be imported to 9.3 which is the only working available ISO image for that case.

    Does anyone have the ISO of the 9.403-4?

    Regards

  • Hi All,

    the engineering team is working on a fix for this issue. Unfortunately the fix was not ready in time to make it into the 9.405 maintenance release, the issue will be resolved with the next maintenance update.
