Well, I'm able to connect to my work VPN now but found something quite strange...I think there is a problem with upgrading perhaps. My VPN connection was working fine a couple of weeks ago but then when I tried last Thursday I was unable to connect. I had not changed any rules, etc in between but I had upgraded to a more recent snapshot. I then upgraded to the latest 1.2Beta snapshot which was also not working. After monkeying with things for a while this evening I was finally able to get things working by unchecking the "Block private networks" and "Block bogon networks" boxes on the WAN settings. After rechecking those checkboxes it is still working, so it seems that something must have gotten messed up when upgrading at some point.

The company VPN product is a SonicWall box and I'm using the SonicWall VPN Client software. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? A packet capture on the WAN interface on the pfSense box sees this: Given that you're trying to connect to port 500 on the remote, I'll guess it is just using IPsec, in which case just configure your pfSense to be a mobile IPsec client to the sonicwall and let it do all the work for you :-) Just put in your ID/password and tell it to connect your LAN to the remote LAN and see if it works. But in either case, IPsec passthru should just work with pfSense. I used to do it that way from home too :-) _________________________________________________________________ Add some color.
