Disconnection from a PPTP dialup tunnel brings down the IPSec tunnels
0%
Description
Hello,
to reproduce the problem, the steps are:
1) Create an IPSec point-to-point tunnel with a remote box
2) Configure the PPTP dialup service in order to accept incoming connections
3) Connect with a client to the box using the PPTP service
4) Work a little bit using the PPTP connection
5) Disconnect from the PPTP connection
6) At this point the IPSec tunnel is down, and Racoon starts trying to reconnect, with no success
7) If you restart racoon, the IPSec VPN will reconnect with success

this is what happens when you misconfigure your PPTP. Never put an interface IP as the server IP for PPTP. there's a ticket open already to implement input validation to prevent such a misconfiguration

Ops, busted! And yes, now it works properly...
I would suggest to change a little bit the description, like adding "private" or "local" or something else that makes cristalline the fact that the server IP has to be considered "inside" the VPN. Now that I understood it and I read again the description is clear, but if there's a ticket opened means I wasn't the only one falling into this mistake.
Thanks you a lot.
Michele
