      Should i disconnect and reconnect the whole IPSEC connection?

      if the down time isn't going to bother you probably best.

        sake of testing goto Firewall > Rules > IPSEC
        add an allow all rule for this interface, you can fine tune it later this is just for testing

        this rule was already active (for testing) on the IPSEC interface

          send a ping from the 172 network to the the printer ip in the 192 network, I'm half expecting this to fail, if it does check that you can still ping the 10.130.76.136 ip address.

              that is an problem, i have no access to the 172 network.

              they started an permanent ping to 10.130.76.136 that i can use to debug.

              i think we should NAT? 10.130.76.136 to 192.168.41.15

              packet capturing on LAN2 (pfsense01) give now:
              11:52:17.648234 IP 172.16.0.26 > 10.130.76.136: ICMP echo request, id 250, seq 37518, length 36
              11:52:17.648254 IP 10.130.76.132 > 172.16.0.26: ICMP time exceeded in-transit, length 36

                correct, the customer router doesn't understand where the 192 is located, so a NAT is now needed, just enable the ICMP NAT first for testing.

                  is that with the NAT?

                    no before.

                    i added this NAT rule on interface LAN2 on pfsense01

                    now i see the same:
                    11:54:49.664412 IP 172.16.0.26 > 10.130.76.136: ICMP echo request, id 250, seq 41040, length 36

                      If the ping is failing before you add the NAT there still is the problem of pfsense01 to 172 to resolve, remove the NAT rule until that is resolved.

                          i see i have made an mistake in the ip's from the custommerrouter and LAN2 (switched, same lan). this is correct:
                          voorbeeld.jpg
                          also added the new P2

                          we could also have a look with teamviewer/telephone if you like?
