Even after
# sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter=0
# sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter=0
and launching ikea direct from that shell, still no dice, see line *********:

I hope to have access to the Watchguard devices logs this week.

Is the Ubuntu package maintainer here ?
Is any progress being made on why it's broken in recent Ubuntu's ?
Why doesn't the startup wrapper script save,set and restore the rp_filter value 
by default, as the current install is borked, even if you do install an older 
(meant to be) working build ?

I guess I'll go back to trying to make native ipsec work instead in the mean 
time.
