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

        Still no idea what you want to do.

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

                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.

                      That link is for an ancient version.

                        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.
