      Hi there,
      I've got the following situation:
      Site A (bintec Router - 192.168.178.0/24) has a VPN-Connection to Site B (bintec Router too - 172.16.0.0/16).
      Site B has also a VPN-Connection to Site C (pfSense 2.3.2-RELEASE-p1 - 172.25.0.0/16).

      I would like to access Site C from Site A.
      The configuration (routing) in the router on Site A/B is correct.
      bintec told me, that I've to configure route backwards on Site C.

      Could someone help me, how to do it?
      I found a lot of How-Tos regarding this topic, but they all created new interfaces, where I don't know a possiblity how to do it with the actual firmware.

      Thanks a lot and kind regards,
      Jörg

        on site-A you need a route for 172.25.0.0 with gateway:site_b_tunnel_address_X
        on site-C you need a route for 192.168.178.0 with gateway: site_b_tunnel_address_Y

          Hi!

          Site A is configured correctly.

          My problem is, that I dont know how to configure the specific routing in the pfSense. Could someone tell me how to do this?

          Thanks a lot.

            This depends on your VPN setup. If you're running a site to site server or the client on site C add 192.168.178.0/24 to "IPv4 Remote networks".

              Hi Viragomann,

              it's a site to site connection.

              But I don't know how respectivly where to add the configuration.
              In VPN=>Tunnel=>Phase2 I can change the remote network, but not add an additional.
              Under System=>Routing => Static Routes, I could add a route, but can only select LAN or WAN as gateway, not VPN.

              Excuse my dumb questions, but it's my first time with pfSense.

              Thanks a lot.

                So it's an IPSec VPN. You should have mentioned this.
                I'm not familiar with IPSec on pfSense, but there is a special topic in this forum: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?board=16.0
