Hi there!
In a fresh new installation of ClearOS i have installed Dynamic VPN. When i try to configure it there's a error message: System is offline for maintenance. I tried to restart the firewall, reinstall it, update it, launch from console ipsec service but nothing.
Does anyone know what it could be?

sorry for my english!

    Thanks for posting back.
    For closure, the problem you were having is that the Dynamic VPN only works between different machines on the same account. If you want to connect machines on different accounts you need to either use OpenVPN or the Static IPsec VPN or configure IPsec (libreswan) manually.

    I reinstalled dynamicvpn and now the command returns me:
    [root @ gateway /] # systemctl status ipsec.service

    but system offline is always present and I cannot configure the service

    Thank you!

    If i execute service ipsec status the console gave me: Unit ipsec.service could not be found.
    it is as if it did not have the ipsec service installed

    Your English is better than my Italian. I only ever learned to speak it and not write it.

    I have asked the devs about the Dynamic VPN. Can you please confirm is ipsec is running with a "service ipsec status"? Also are you getting the message at both ends of the tunnel?
