Title: Will IPsec preshared Keys deprecate?
Post by: Reikasa on November 28, 2024, 10:10:25 AM
Hi everyone,

I setup a bunch of site-to-site VPNs using IPsec with pre-shared Keys.

The new UI doesn't have a way to add preshared keys to the config, so will that option deprecate, once the legacy settings are dropped?

Thanks for the help.

VPN > IPsec > Pre-Shared Keys is where you place them now.

Aaaahhh I see thank you!

How does it work for openVPNs?

The new way of creating instances, instead of servers and clients is kind of confusing.

The way I understand it right now, I would create a key under "static keys" as my preshared key and select that when creating a VPN Server instance under TLS static Key?

Please open a new thread for OpenVPN questions. First I have no idea, second IPsec and OpenVPN have absolutely nothing in common, so the question does not make sense in this context.
