[pfSense-discussion] pfsense IPSEC support

2009-12-05 Thread Harald Jenny
Dear developers,

first I wanted to say thank you for this nice piece of software, I think it can 
keep up with most commercial appliances, the only thing that makes me a little 
bit sad is the IPSEC support. Not really being a great BSD-crack it seems to me 
that the FreeBSD port of isakmpd (combined with a port of sasyncd) would 
improve pfsense's IPSEC capabilities vastly compared to racoon. Maybe you could 
comment on this issue and what it would take to improve IPSEC within pfsense.

Kind regards
Harald Jenny

Perhaps it might help to know what you believe the deficiencies in IPsec
on pfSense are? And what the other implementation offers any better
support or functionality?

The implementation used on pfSense is capable of a lot more, but many
options are not covered by the GUI in 1.2.x. The GUI in 2.0 for IPsec is
greatly improved, but still has a few quirks (it is still alpha-alpha,
after all)
