no, in fact I gave up on IPSec since I posted this and have started working on a wireguard setup because fuck this unmaintained pile of shit
It can be easier to find help with wireguard setups. I hope you succeed.
I learned how to do IPsec by using a perfectly functional example config in one room and changing things one tiny step at a time until it got where I needed it. IPsec can be very stable and simple but you gotta have your ducks in a row first.
well, the worst part is I had a functioning IPsec site-to-site setup as well as road warrior configuration, running on OpenWRT 19. but now after upgrading to OpenWRT 24, I can't get it to work again. they redid the whole config system and moved away from
ipsectoswanctland the user-layer part of the IPSec subsystem in OpenWRT appears to have been barely maintained through the upgrade pathYeah the last five years have been very bad for open source projects. If you can justify the move to pfsense it’s very worth it to get away from projects that are maybe getting too far out over their skis.
I’m in the process of doing this with a handful of tomato derivative running old edge devices that never got replaced.
