        The second side of the tunnel knows about the network 192.168.10.0/24 ?

          No. they just accept request from 192.168.251.194. so we need NAT, right? is there a need for static routing?
          sorry i'm a beginner.

            If you do not know and there is no way to configure a static route there , then return outbound NAT

            1. 192.168.10.4 can ping 192.168.251.193 ?
              Show NAT outbound settings

                Show packet capture on the lan interface

                    here you can see that the answer comes to the gre interface
                    and on the lan interface the answer comes ?

                      no. it does not come to lan interface. here is what i assumed:
                      that capture is when i ping 10.1.1.150 (remote GRE ip) from my windows box (192.168.10.4) packet capture on lan shows a bunch of request. but packet capture on gre shows that requests from 192.168.251.194 (my side of GRE) goes to 10.1.1.150 and reply comes from 10.1.1.150 to x.x.x.194 and from there it does not come to my windows box.

                          yes there is one, for GRE interface, with source and destination set to any.
                          since the requests go through 192.168.251.194, it seems like routing is being done, but NAT is not.

                                  @vistatech said in problem for routing specific traffic through gre ipsec tunnel:

                                  which rule

                                  Floating rule for GRE interface

                                  And still such question
                                  GRE over ipsec
                                  ipsec (phase 2) in transport mode ?
                                  is this correct ?
                                  It's just that Pfsense doesn't always work correctly with GRE over ipsec.

                                    yes, ipsec phase 2 is in transport mode.

                                      Hey
                                      As I said , PF does not always work correctly with GRE over IPSEC.
                                      Try to do so

                                      1. disable GRE interface
                                      2. reboot
                                      3. Verify that THE IPSec tunnel is established
                                      4. enable the GRE interface
                                        5.verify
