Bug #10493
openfilter_get_vpns_list() issues
0%
Description
1) filter_get_vpns_list() returns only:
IPsec Mobile IPv4 subnet
IPsec site-to-site networks
OpenVPN client/server Tunnel Network / Remote Network IPv4
PPPoE server networks
but not:
IPsec Mobile IPv6 subnet
OpenVPN client/server Tunnel Network / Remote Network IPv6
L2TP VPN network
This is why the Snort/Suricata vpnaddresses option doesn't return a complete list of VPN networks
see https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/8688
2) Because of filter_get_vpns_list() returns not only IPsec networks, IPsec MSS clamping option will affect unnecessary VPN types.

There are some people who rely on that behavior, so if it is altered, a means must be added to cover the other cases separately or to preserve the current behavior.
It is probably better to have a different setting for each type of VPN since they may have a different desired MSS value due to differences in overhead for each protocol. If we go that route, however, there should be a master setting to cover all VPNs with the current value.

This fix allows you to select for which VPN types / IP proto do MSS clamping:

+ I think it would be better to split "Advanced Firewall” to “Advanced Firewall” and “Packet Processing” sections:
Advanced Firewall:
Disable Firewall
Static route filtering
Disable Auto-added VPN rules
Disable reply-to
Disable Negate rules
Allow APIPA
Aliases Hostnames Resolve Interval
Check certificate of aliases URLs
Packet Processing:
IP Do-Not-Fragment compatibility
IP Random id generation
Firewall Optimization Options
VPN MSS Clamping
Disable Firewall Scrub
Firewall Adaptive Timeouts
Firewall Maximum States
Firewall Maximum Table Entries
Firewall Maximum Fragment Entries
