How to see the status
of the VPN connection
Browse to Expert mode > VPN > Debug > Status. This page shows the status of the 
IKE Security Association (Phase 1)
 and the IPSec Security Association(s) (Phase 2)
For an operational VPN connection, both an IKE Security Association and an IPSec 
Security Association
 should be active.
 
The IKE negotiations may lead to a situation where one peer assumes that a 
session is active, while the other peer has not established a session. This is 
a flaw inherent to the IPSec protocol. If you suspect such a situation, you 
can use the button Tear Down All Tunnels! to clear all tunnels.
