Hello, I'm working on a project to have a backup server at my parent's house that I can send the data on my home server to over a VPN. I have been able to successfully replicate the data with both servers on my home network, but replication fails over a VPN.
The VPN is being implemented using two pfSense routers in a peer-to-peer connection. I am able to remotely connect to and manage the backup server over the VPN connection. I can also confirm that the home server can ssh to the remote server using the command ssh -i /data/ssh/replication 10.1.1.1.
When I setup replication on the home server, the task runs for a few minutes, never getting past 0% and then I finally get an error in the alerts stating "Replication Pool1/Backup -> 10.1.1.1:ONE_8TB/Home_Backup failed: Failed: Pool1/Backup (auto-20181222.2200-1w)". Using "netdata", there is no activity on either server to indicate that anything is happening. When I try to do this manually via CLI using the command zfs send Pool1/Backup@auto-20181222.2200-1w | ssh -i /data/ssh/replication 10.1.1.1 zfs recv -F ONE_8TB/Home_Backup, it connects for about 30 seconds then gives me the error:
Connection to 10.1.1.1 closed by remote host.
warning: cannot send 'Pool1/Backup@auto-20181228.2200-1w': signal received
Something else worth noting is that the Web GUI for the remote server will suddenly and randomly log out, sometimes while I'm in the middle of something. I'm not sure if it's something to do with the VPN connection between the pfSense routers. I don't see any indication of instability in the VPN tunnel, and currently the "remote" router is connected to my home router until I can confirm this works and deploy it at my parent's house.
Both servers are running FreeNAS-11.2-RELEASE.
