IPsec VPN no longer works with 2.5

I installed the new efw 2.5 on an identical machine, and then restored a backup from 2.4.1. Everything works perfectly as far as I can tell, except one thing - an IPsec connection to a remote 2.4.1 server no longer works. It uses a shared key and the key was restored along with the other settings, but it just will not connect.

I deleted the IPsec connection on the 2.5 server and recreated it, but it still will not come up. I also enabled the debug options for the connection, but I cannot see the logs for IPsec on the log page and I don't know where to look to see what the issue might be.

Also, there are three options that are missing for the VPN that I think is a bug. There should be two checkboxes and a data entry box on the IPsec page:

VPN on ORANGE:   
VPN on BLUE:
Override default MTU:

I have an Orange interface, but I do not check this box. I also do not override the default MTU. However, I think these options should still be there...

Absolutely not working, because IPSec in EFW 2.5 using StrongSWAN while IPSec in EFW 2.4.1 using OpenSWAN

It's different configurations...

You must recreated from the beginning of the IPSec configuration both on Server and Client.

Hi All,

Happy New Year to All,

Today I installed Endian 2.5.0 everything is going smooth except below:
1)    It seems dns client engine is not functioning hence it can’t resolve the host names whereas I can ping any public IP but not dns names.
2)    Due to the above issue (may be) IPSec VPN is not working with dns names.

Thanks for all your efforts in building such a Awesome firewall 

Regard's

Can EFW 2.4.1 be configured to use StrongSWAN, or do I have to use 2.5 on both ends? Thanks for shedding some light on this.
