      The IPSEC tunnel works great. BUT…

      Any traffic coming from the pfsense box with a destination of the remote network doesn't go through. I have any/any from and to the networks and all is fine except for the pfsense box. The remote FW is a sonicwall.

      using pfsense 2.3.2

      Also, the sonicwall can ping the pfsense LAN IP. The pfsense can't ping the sonicwall LAN IP or anything on the sonicwall LAN network.

      traceroute 192.168.10.30
      traceroute to 192.168.10.30 (192.168.10.30), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets
       1  * * *
       2  * * *
      
      

      …I'm thinking there is an easy fix and this is a known "feature".

        It seems this might be the answer.
