      "user" and "peer-to-peer" are mutually-exclusive.

      You will need to describe what you want to do more clearly.

        My VPN is running peer to peer server and client between two locations. Now I want to add a remote user?

              Do this on one side or the other:

                  This is what I'm trying to do:

                  Site A(server) and Site B are set-up in a peer to peer vpn

                  Site A is also running Remote Access VPN

                  Site A and Site B communicate perfectly

                  Remote Access Users(android) communicate with Site A as expected

                  So Now I Just need Remote Access Users to Communicate with Site B and Site A simultaneously

                    You need to add the tunnel network for the Remote Access VPN on site A as a Remote Network on the Site B site-to-site client configuration.

                    Assuming you configured your Remote Access VPN with redirect gateway. If not you need to add the Site B LAN network as a Local Network on the Remote Access server setup.

                        No. Add them to the proper Local and Remote Networks fields.

                          I tried that biased on my understanding of the options presented by pfsense GUI. I was unable to make it work….. Now that I think about it i may have entered it in Site A's Config. I will try again tomorrow.
