IPSEC Router behind Endian 2.2

Hi there,

I had a Cisco VPN Router (IPSEC) behind an Endian Firewall 2.1 /
2.2beta2 running for a while. The Cisco connected to an outside VPN
endpoint and everything worked fine.

Since a few days, it does not work anymore. There was a power failure
for the Endian but it came back on without a problem. After that, the
Cisco VPN router does not connect anymore and there is not a reason that
I can see.

I tried upgrading the Endian to 2.2, which doesn't resolve the problem.
With tcpdump, I can see that the Cisco requests IPSEC connection from
green to red. On the red interface, I can see the answer from the VPN
endpoints, but the answer packets are not visible on the green endian
zone anymore. Endian seems to prevent the packages from getting forwarded.

I tried to setup Port Forwarding in Endian (which isn't necessary in my
opinion because the Cisco requests the IPSEC connection) for Port
500/udp and 4500/udp and GRE. I tried without Port forwarding with the
same results. IPSEC / VPN is completely disabled on the Endian, so that
the packets should go through the Endian, but they don't.

Any hint would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Marco

If it requests the IPSEC connection, then you allow the port
outward? Try disabling the outgoing firewall to test...

Yes, it allows the outgoing connections. I can even see the responses from the outside VPN endpoints delivered to the red interface of the Endian. But the response does not show up on the green interface, what means, that they simply get blocked or disappear somewhere in the Endian.

Thanks,
Marco

Did you consider a hardware failure?

sure, but if all network cards are working and everything else works
besides the ipsec packets, I'd not assume a hardware problem.

from my point of view, it has to be a software (or configuration) issue.

Nobody ever had a VPN router behind an Endian?

I use the efw as a vpn router. In the Http Proxy -> Bypass /
Banned Sources and Destinations section, try placing the ip
address of your vpn server into BOTH Bypass the transparent
Proxy from Source, and the Bypass the Proxy FILTER by source
IP. That would eliminate any interference from the proxy...
