# ipsec verify ... If you encounter network related SElinux errors, especially when using KLIPS, try disabling SElinux ... Well, it is not running KLIPS but netkey, anyways I feel not comfortable about disabling selinux on a ipsec router. I am not sure how to handle possible probems in this case, too. If I decide not to disable selinux, and I run into problems, should I a) report it to redhat

Centos 5 is also a bit old os. Is it possible to use newer version? (like centos 7 or centos 6?)

Well. Centos 5 is really near of it's end of life. There is not much updates to kernel or openswan. You should at least try latest openswan version. Your issue looks like a bit network problem. -- Eero 2016-02-10 8:34 GMT+02:00 John Cenile <jcenile1983 at gmail.com>: > So lowering the keylife / ikelifetime didn't solve the problem.

Paul, now

I second Eero's comment, use a new IPSec daemon. Openswan was forked and became Libreswan. Paul, now a RH employee, was a main developer for the Openswan project before he and others created the Libreswan fork. https://libreswan.org/ EL6 has Openswan EL7 has Libreswan Racoon isn't all that fun to work with. If you have the option, ditch it and EL5 and move to a newer platform

Hello everybody. I would like to do some kind of shaping inside an ipsec tunnel implemented by Openswan and linux 2.6.18.x with xfrm (no KLIPS): for example, to limit outbound smtp traffic inside the tunnel. Question: where should I attach the qdisc to? Eth0? I''m asking this, because tcpdump only see the ESP packet on the eth0 and not the ''clear'' packet. TIA This is my

Hi, I have setup a IPSEC VPN using Openswan to connect a Draytek router to a CentOS 5.2/Shorewall 4.2.9 firewall. The VPN establishes OK but I''m getting a problem with packets from the left hand subnet getting masqueraded rather than routed down the IPSEC VPN as though they were going out onto the net. I''ve spent the last day searching Google and so far I''ve hit a

I asked about upgrading once and got no reply. Does anyone have experience of having a hosted centos upgraded on a virtual server.

I looked in the yum repositories for CentOS 7 and I noticed that there are no packages for any of the major open source IPSec VPN apps - Openswan, strongSwan, etc. I'm pretty sure CentOS 6 had Openswan packages. What is the current consensus w.r.t. building an IPSec VPN "server" (concentrator, whatever) on CentOS 7, that will do site-to-site connections with Cisco hardware at

Hi I hope someone can answer something I'm sure is quite basic. I am following the instructions at https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/ch-vpn.html On setting up a VPN The part I am having trouble with is when it show the /etc/racoon/racoon.conf file. But it doesn't say whay you have to do with this file. When I bring up my connection ifup bicester I get RTNETLINK

Hello, I'm cross posting this from the OpenSwan mailing list, in case someone here can help. We have two sites connected via OpenSwan 2.6.32-9 on CentOS 5, sharing 6 /24 subnets each (so 12 in total). The problem we're having is completely randomly, be it in the middle of the day, or in the middle of the night (so I don't believe it's traffic related), certain (and sometimes

IPSec is not recommended solution nowdays.

As I said though, there's no lost ICMP packets, even when the IPSec tunnel drops out. I do notice a lot of these errors in the secure log though, would this be any indication of a problem? (I'm grepping for this specific error, they're not the only messages in there). Feb 11 14:18:10 site-a pluto[10450]: "site-b/1x1" #803: ignoring Delete SA payload: PROTO_IPSEC_ESP

Hello, I'm trying to get Openswan running in a CentOS 4.3 environment. I want to modify as little as possible so that the machine can be kept up to date easily. I'd rather not compile a special kernel, but if that's the only solution, no problem (I don't need NAT traversal). It's running kernel 2.6.9-34.0.2.EL. Installed the kerneldevel RPM (and kernel src rpm as well). I
