      We've got a pfSense appliance set up in our AWS environment and have established an ipsec tunnel from the device to our partner's network. We are now attempting to route traffic from our machines on AWS (windows servers) through the pfSense gateway for specific address ranges and need some guidance on where to get started.

        The VPC routing table.

        You should be able to route certain destinations (the other side of the VPN) to the pfSense interface in the VPC (eni-blahblahblah)

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

          Be sure to have source/destination check disabled if you're not NATing, which you probably aren't.
