General Discussion / weird SSH over IPSEC VPN not problem
« on: November 11, 2019, 03:06:19 am »
Hi,
I have setup a Site to Site IPSEC VPN connection and I can access machines and ping clients on both sides. I can access the web interface of opnsense on both side, but if I try and SSH to a linux machine I get the login prompts and then it just hangs, sometime I eventually get the welcome text and then prompt but then it drops out and stops working with a timeout error.
What is weird is that when I try it from the remote site, to ssh back into a linux machine it works.
I don't have and firewall rules between the connections, I just allow all.
I have tried normalization to set the MSS on the IPSec connection to 1400
I have tried from multiple machines.
I have also tried to ssh into the OpnSense firewall and some switches and they fail as well.
I'm stuck and not sure what else I can change or look at, any suggestions?
