Title: VPN dead after upgrade
Post by: Garret on October 01, 2002, 11:22:31 PM

We upgraded SME 5.5 and now we are not able to VPN to the machines (2).

Any help

We have also seen SSH, FTP, IMAP affected by this. Please . . . anybody else with these same issues???

Thanks

Garret

How do I test these problems?

Garret,

Using three 5.1.2 servers, I lost all Freeswan IPSEC vpn connections to my central SME server after applying Update3.  I found the upgrade changed my encrytion key.  Re-configuring my IPSEC vpns in server-manager on each server got them using vpn again.  Not sure if that helps.

Good Luck,

Ryan

Thanks for the reply Ryan. We had lost alot more than just the VPN. Just about any service other than http was no longer available to the outside network.

I've started from scratch with two servers :-(
 A little nervous though because we have a number of others that need to be upgraded . . . and because nobody seems overly interested in what happened to these servers.

Probably catch a flame for this one but I put on my flame retardant suit so I'm protected. :-)

Thanks though Ryan . . . truly

Garret
