Good evening,
well I am one of those problematic users. I have first encountered the problems when I installed RC1 on our productive environment. My problems were posted to forum, yes without any helpful logfiles, did not know which would be helpsome.
Then after core66 got officially released I tried again with installing, in the hope there won't be any failures anymore. I was sure anyone else would have encountered the same problems and our problems would block the core66 from release before it is fixed properly.
Okay it has not been that way but who could know.
Also I am using linux servers(which is open source) where new releases also show up from time to time, but never found such big problems anywhere around.
If I had a test environment for Net2Net - connections with ipsec in the exact same constellation as the productive environment is, I would be so glad. But that thingie will cost many thousend euro. Can't make my boss friend with that, will say "just stick with the current version".
But as I know it is security related in upgrading firewall solutions, it is essential to be up to date.
If anyone could help with ipsec net2net, please let me know. Would be great.
After one week of failure I downgraded the main productive ipfire back to core65, there is still one ipfire in productive which has one Net2Net conn but no such problems!
So I just could figure out that it really depends hard on the peer side if you get problems or not!
There are many different manufacturers of VPN-solution hardware AND software.
My problems have been with Microsoft and Cisco-Peers.
On the working ipfire it is also a Cisco-Peer but a different model!
Regards
Jan
