This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to managing
Internet Protocol Security (
IPsec) for virtual
private network (VPN) concentrators. A method may include: identifying, by an edge gateway backend
system, a first
IPsec tunnel, a second
IPsec tunnel, and a third IPsec tunnel between a VPN
client and a VPN
concentrator of the edge gateway backend
system; determining, by the edge gateway backend
system, that the first IPsec tunnel is a highest priority tunnel between the VPN
client and the VPN
concentrator; determining, by the edge gateway backend system, that the highest priority tunnel between the VPN
client and the VPN
concentrator is active; and deactivating, by the edge gateway backend system, fully qualified domain names of the second IPsec tunnel and the third IPsec tunnel from the VPN concentrator based on the determination that the highest priority tunnel between the VPN client and the VPN concentrator is active.
