      @michmoor I will provide you some screenshot for this. Below it is another screen of IPsec established because my WAN changed on both sides:

          I didn’t mean a screenshot of logs but the actual IPsec logs maybe from console or ssh you can grab it
          Secondly I don’t see any firewall rules. There should be a firewall rule on the IPsec interface I believer. What do the firewall logs show? Any drops?

          Firewall: NetGate,Palo Alto-VM,Juniper SRX
          Routing: Juniper, Arista, Cisco
          Switching: Juniper, Arista, Cisco
          Wireless: Unifi, Aruba IAP
          JNCIP,CCNP Enterprise

            Now I can ping the WAN and Gateway but host cannot see each other:

                Do both host use the pfSense in in their LAN as default gateway?

                Do the hosts themself allow access from outside of their local network?
                Maybe disable their firewalls and reboot them then.

                    I was talking about the firewalls on the host behind pfSense.

                      @viragomann That's what I've figured out, after disabling the microsoft defender firewall I can ping between sites without any problem now I just need to add a rule so that this network traffic is allowed. Thanks a lot for help, I don't know why I haven't come across this before

                        The Windows firewall allows basic access like pings from within the local subnet by default, but not from outside.
                        So access normally works as long as it doesn't pass a router.

                          Estou com o mesmo problema, eu configurei dois pfsenses um matriz e outro filial, mas eu só consigo pingar o pfsense do outro lado e mais nada!
                          dentro da mesma rede pinga normal, mas tanto da matriz como da filial eu nao consigo pingar nenhum micro a não ser o pfsense do outro lado.

                          nas configurações de firewall esta tudo liberado entre os tuneis...

                          alguém tem alguma ideia?

                            @fcostars Resolvido!
                            Estava clonando configuração ipsec para não digitar tudo novamente e dessa forma o firewall se perde!

                            Segue a dica! Nunca clone uma regra e sim reescreva novamente!
