IPSEC still dies silently from time to time. I have to restart racoon each and every now and then... (and I am preffering the old IPSEC sa's on all pfsense ends (which are 3 nodes now)
I did install cron, but am not an active cron user (or knowledgeable)... would it be wise to restart the racoon service every now and then (or each morning at 5AM ?) I am using my VPN tunnels only for network printers... so it's not really disturbing to have an on/off situation... The odd thing is, when IPSEC dies between two PFSENSE platforms, nothing is being showed (the tunnel also seems active on both ends !! - but I cannot reach the destination anymore). On the linksys or dlink devices, the tunnel shows a state of "unreachable"... Restarting racoon on both pfsense-ends, helps me out this situation...
