            The site with no result (no ICMP returned) uses an upstream router with differnet settings ?
            Another ISP ?

            Also : "Google" uses firewalls. When some networks (read : ISP clients) ping to much, it would not surprises me that Google throttles ICMP a bit for that network. It's just a free service ;)

              There is a cable modem connected to pfsense that is connected to LAN switch.
              No another ISP, unless IPsec VPN between sites?

                        in the vpn, ipsec section - what is setup on the phase 2? This will have tunnel networks and remote networks and local networks defined.

                                that is great - then that should reflect the actual cidr for the networks over there - not the whole 172.everything /8 mask.

                                rfc1918 space for the 172 would be 172.16/12

                                with that /8 your telling pfsense 172.217 is over there.

                                If you only have 172.18 and .19 over there then 172.18/15 would be the correct mask

                                  After restart, everything started to work.
                                  Google, Gmail.

                                  THEY WORK!!

                                  Thanks for the help @johnpoz

                                    Great! Are you just using the .18/15 over there or is bigger block?

                                      I tried the .18/15 in the phase2 and it worked.
                                      Could I just add subnets to additional phase 2 section?
                                      We have 172.18.1 and 2 and 3 and 172.19.1 and 2.

                                        with 172.18.0.0 /15 (Netmask 255.254.0.0 = 15) First IP is 172.18.0.1 and Last IP is 172.19.255.254 so you should have it already in phase 2. there should be no need to do any other mods
