Hi;
I've been having this problem establishing a VPN behind a FreeBSD 8-STABLE
with pf.
I have this scenario:
home LAN ---- FBSD+pf home ---- INTERNET --- FBSD+pf work --- work LAN
MPD VPN server
nat rules on FBSD+pf home:
nat on $ext_if from $int_if:network to any -> ($ext_if) port 1024:65535
# nat on $ext_if from any to any -> ($ext_if) port 1024:65535
obs- it makes no difference which nat rule I use. The problem persists.
These are the first 5 pf rules on FBSD+pf home:
# pass quick all
pass quick on lo0 all
# my whole home lan is free
pass in quick on $int_if from $int_if:network to any
#--- Allow networks to see themselves and dns
pass quick from $int_if:network to $int_if:network
#--- Allow vpns from anywhere to anywhere
pass in quick log on $int_if proto gre from any to any keep state
pass in quick log on $int_if proto tcp from any to any port pptp flags S/SA
keep state
On any attempt to connect to the FBSD+pf work VPN Server from home LAN,
I get this (even if I uncomment pass quick all):
#>mpd5

BUT, on the 9th or 10th attempt, without touching any setting anywhere, the
VPN MAY BE established. out of nothing ! Machines (Windows, Unix, whatever)
behind both FBSD+pfs ALSO have the same problem when trying to close VPN
tunnels to outside sites.
Sometimes, opening an ssh session from my workstation to FBSD+pf work may
"help" in establishing the VPN.
The FBSD+pf work VPN Server is working fine. My colleagues can connect to it
from their homes (NATted cable modems or 3G modems) without problems. I am the
only one behind a FBSD+pf router.
I installed MPD5 on FBSD+pf home, and copied mpd.conf from my home workstation
to it.
Without touching a single setting on mpd.conf, the VPN is established
from FBSD+pf home (as a client) to FBSD+pf work WITHOUT any hiccups on EVERY
SINGLE attempt! even I bring it up/down 200 times!
And yet, if the FBSD+pf combo is out of the way, (i.e. no NAT!, as is the case
of FBSD+pf home as a client) or if I let my cable modem do the NAT/routing,
the problem is GONE!.

Any suggestions?
