Hi,

we are testing pfSense 2.0.1 on an alix 2d13 board. We use these boxes to connect some costumers to our network using an IPsec tunnel. In the past we have been working with Linux boxes and now we are trying to find out whether we can replace these Linux boxes with pfSense.

So here is what I tried:

Something that works:
I configured an IPsec connection with remote network 10.0.0.0/8 and local network "LAN subnet" (which is 172.17.18.0/29). This works perfectly.

Something that looks strange to me:
If I change the local network from "LAN subnet" to Network and set the network address to 172.17.18.0/29 I am unable to start the VPN connection. I don't even get the connect button on the status page (see screenshot attached) If I change the local network to 172.17.18.1/29 (which ist not really the network address) the tunnel comes up again. I found out it works that way because of a typo. Am I misunderstanding something? Or ist it just the way it is?

And now something that bothers me:
If I change the local network to 192.168.0.0/16 or 192.168.0.1/24 - which is not configured on the LAN interface - the IPsec connection won't work at all. Is that kind of configuration not possible with pfSense? please help me if there is a way to configure this.

Thanks in advance

Reiner
