Hi,

after approximate 11 hours I stopped the VPN again and unloaded the  
ipsec module and the kernel crashes again. Well, what have I done in  
this time...? I had two open VPN connections (over a real and a  
virtual IP) and 3 gigabyte traffic in this timeslot.
I believe that the multiple port allocation is the main problem. Does  
anyone else have this problems?

Cheers,
Sven
