VPN Site-to-Site IPsec in pfSense is a powerful tool for establishing and maintaining secure links between different locations, enhancing network security and management.
🔸Data Encryption: Provides a layer of security by encrypting data transmitted over the VPN channel. This ensures that sensitive information, such as business data, cannot be intercepted or altered during transmission.
🔸Secure Authentication: Utilizes robust authentication methods to ensure the integrity of information. The IPsec protocol supports multiple authentication methods, including pre-shared keys and certificates.
🔸Integrated Security: Integrates tightly with other security features in pfSense, such as the firewall, to enhance safety and access control.
🔸Web Interface Management: Offers a simple and user-friendly web interface for configuring and managing VPN Site-to-Site IPsec connections. Administrators can make changes and monitor connection status remotely through a web browser.
🔸High Performance: Designed to deliver high and stable performance, ensuring that the network is maintained at maximum speed without compromising user experience.
🔸Cross-Platform Support: Supports multiple platforms, allowing connections between different devices and environments, facilitating integration and system scalability.
🔸Flexibility: Provides various configuration options, allowing administrators to adjust parameters such as IP addresses, encryption algorithms, and authentication methods to meet the specific needs of the organization.

Eu estou com um problema no ipsec. Eu notei que quando o lifetime chega no seu valor estipulado em ambos os lados, o tunel cai e não renova. Os dois lados as criptografias estão semelhantes como tambem o lifetime. alguém já passou por esse problema?

I know you used 172.168.x.x to simplify things, but watch out as this is not a private IP address and will route on the Internet (at the time of this writing, it is in Des Moines, USA) unless you specifically block that IP range. You should have used 172.16.x.x which is part of RFC1918 and doesn't route.
