I setup a IPSEC tunnel between the Public IP of two Router Boards
I then setup an un-encyrpted L2TP between the two Router Boards.

If I torch to Public ethernet port , I see "IPSEC" Traffic. (no L2TP udp/1701 Traffic)

If I setup a filter rule to drop all traffic EXCEPT for the IPSEC traffic, it blocks the L2TP on Said Port.

I then changed it to a "LogOnly" Filter, and it logs EVERY bit of traffic over the IPSEC Tunnel...

The Public IP's are on Bridges, the Public Ethernet Ports are members of Said Bridge, Filters @ Ethernet has no effect, Filtering @ Bridge, Blocks everything., its as if the "IPSEC" sits before the Filter in ip-firewall

nobody?

Look at packet flow diagram, probably it will explain why everything is dropped in firewall.

Thanks, To bad IPSEC traffic couldn't be seperated in the chain. or add a "ipsec" flag to the pre-filter rule or something... wishfull thinking, probably gonna have to stack two rb's on each end.
