[Oisf-users] IPSec handshake and AF-Packet

Well here is what we have discovered so far.  There appears to be an incompatibility between SonicWALL's Global VPN Client version 4.9.4.0305 or higher. Possibly version 4.9.0 too but we have not tested that version yet.  We know for sure that version 4.2.6.0305 works fine.

The symptom is IKE Phase 1 does not complete when IPSec VPN handshake traffic passes through the IPS set to AF-packet mode.  We have not tested  NFQUEUE mode.

SonicWALL obviously changed something in their Global VPN Client software.

Thanks.

Leonard

When reporting issues like this it's helpful if you can add more details, pcaps, log messages, anything.
