Use dpdaction=restart

btw yout ike/ipsec lifetimes are insanely short. you should not do that. leave them default, and the shortest one of the other device will be used.

Paul, if you’re reading this, thanks for the tips!

I wasn’t sure how I could have missed that useful dpdaction=restart setting so I went back and checked

This IPSec VPN functionality is provided by an Openswan package that was built specifically for OpenWrt.

In this How To, I will show you how to create a VPN between a LinkSys WRT54GL and a LinkSys RV082 (RV042 could be used also).

As usual, if the post helps you, please leave me a comment!

At the office, the VPN endpoint is a LinkSys RV042, which, as far as I can tell, runs Freeswan VPN software. At home, the VPN endpoint is a LinkSys WRT54GL, which I hacked to run the OpenWrt linux distribution and OpenSwan VPN software. A future post will detail exactly how I did this but the purpose of
