Before that, TCP_MD5SIG did not require MD5 signature when establishing a connection either. > That meant that connections were limited to peers in the Security > Association Database.

For peers configured with MD5, the established connection will be protected by MD5 signatures (i.e., the TCP_MD5SIG option will be set). If a peer is not configured for MD5, then the established connection will not be protected with MD5 signatures (i.e., TCP_MD5SIG will not be set). For what it's worth, this behavior is consistent with OpenBSD. -Rob > > Mike > > On 8 Jan 2022, at 19:45, Robert Wing wrote: > > > The branch main has been updated by rew: > > > > URL: > https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=eb18708ec8c7e1de6a05aba41971659549991b10 > > > > commit eb18708ec8c7e1de6a05aba41971659549991b10 > > Author: Robert Wing <rew@FreeBSD.org> > > AuthorDate: 2022-01-09 01:07:50 +0000 > > Commit: Robert Wing <rew@FreeBSD.org> > > CommitDate: 2022-01-09 01:32:14 +0000 > > > > syncache: accept packet with no SA when TCP_MD5SIG is set > > > > When TCP_MD5SIG is set on a socket, all packets are dropped that > don't > > contain an MD5 signature.
