I have a stupid question but exist there a trigger which would indicate a status change in the tunnel, for example, the tunnel went up or down? I played with the leftupdown option but found that this only triggers when you actually bring the tunnel up or down, but not when the tunnel actually goes up or down.
It should be triggered when the tunnel goes up or down. It is how most people handle their billing and accounting for VPN usage. An older option is the statsbin= option. See "man ipsec.conf". It's data format is uhm, abominable. We just inherited it a long time ago.
What I mean here is that when I have a connection with the start mode add and the remote site is then starting the connection the script will not trigger and the same is true for when the tunnel goes down?
It shouldn't matter which endpoint starts the initiating. Once it is up, the updown script runs (actually it runs a number of times for different phases) Paul _______________________________________________ Swan mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libreswan.org/mailman/listinfo/swan
