Description

Running pfSense 2.7.2 with everything up-to-date, including system patches, all applied.
I have two ipsec VTI tunnels between both sites, working perfectly with OSPF and BFD.

The problem happens when trying to set up BFD echo mode.

What I checked so far:
I get the error, Echo function failed.
I can see the port 3785 UDP listening in the sockets page of both sites.
Capturing packets, I can see echo packets reaching both sites, with no response.
In BFD status page, I can see, for both sites, zero echo packets input, but a lot of echo packets output.
Disabled ICMP redirect in System tunables > net.inet.ip.redirect to zero and reboot.
Created a floating firewall, selected both VTI interfaces, with quick option checked to "disable antispoof" rule for IPSec VTIs, thus allowing everything to test, this is a lab environment so no problem with that.

The problem happens

Configuration site 1:

bfd
 profile passive
  detect-multiplier 3
  receive-interval 300
  transmit-interval 2000
  echo receive-interval 50
  echo transmit-interval 50
  echo-mode
  passive-mode
  no shutdown
 !
 peer 192.168.200.1 local-address 192.168.200.2 interface ipsec1
  profile passive
 !
 peer 192.168.200.9 local-address 192.168.200.10 interface ipsec2
  profile passive
 !
!

Configuration site 2:

bfd
 peer 192.168.200.2 local-address 192.168.200.1 interface ipsec1
  detect multiplier 3
  receive-interval 300
  transmit-interval 2000
  echo receive-interval 50
  echo transmit-interval 50
  no shutdown
  echo-mode
 !
 peer 192.168.200.10 local-address 192.168.200.9 interface ipsec3
  detect-multiplier 3
  receive-interval 300
  transmit-interval 2000
  echo receive-interval 50
  echo transmit-interval 50
  no shutdown
  echo-mode
 !
!

So, it seems that despite of the socket show listening for that port, the packet never reaches the daemon bfdd.
