      So simply forward the concerned IPs (NAT).
      That's possible, but it needs some rules to obey.

          You can have as many subnets as you want routed over the same VPN. It doesn't matter what they do. Routing is routing is routing. I assume you already have your main LAN routed over the VPN. The VLANs are handled in the same way.

            He doesn't need NAT. If he has a subnet on the VLAN then it can be routed to another VLAN at the other end. Talking about NAT only adds to the confusion.

            One thing to bear in mind is that a VPN is simply another IP connection and can be used like any other IP connection.

              If you're using NAT for that, then it would be handled like any other. The only difference is it has to be routed from one system to the other.

              Go back to understanding how IP works on a LAN. The destination IP address is examined to see if it belongs on the directly connected subnet. If it does, then the MAC address of the destination is determined and the packet sent out across the LAN. If it's for another subnet, then routing is used to send it to the destination subnet, in this case through the VPN.

                Ok, i don't want to use NAT...

                i need to use addresses of the same subnet (for example 8x.xx.xx.128/25) on both pfsense box linked by a VPN, is there a way to do?

                  Any plausible reason for that?

                  Possibly it's doable, but make thing very complicated.

                      Don't know that.

                      No, you can route over a whole subnet, which is routed to your IP before though, even with public IPs, but you cannot pick some IPs out of it.

                        You'd need a TAP VPN, not TUN.
