We have dyndns-ipsec support, however I have not set it up by now. Only heard Scott implemented it. Other option (if you want to do it with the ping) would be to add a cron-job to send a single ping once in a minute. However, as you can't ping through the tunnel from the pfsense directly you would have to add a static route for the remote subnet with the lan ip of the local pfsense that does the ping as gateway as only incoming traffic from another interface can be routed through the tunnel or bring a tunnel up. I would try to figure out how dyndns-ipsec has to be configured. If I have some time I'll try it myself these days. Would be great stuff for a tutorial ;-)

Oktober 2005 13:35 An: pfsense Betreff: [pfSense Support] Any way to do a scheduled ping to a host? I'm using IPSec to connect from home to the office. At my home address, I'm using DynDNS so I have the ip available. But when I'm at work, the IPSec connection goes down as activity stops. Judging by the documentation, there's no way to set up an outgoing IPSec connection *to* a dynamic address. I was thinking if pfsense could send a simple ping to a particular address, this could keep the connection open, and allow me to access my home network through the IPSec tunnel from work at all times.
