      Hi im trying to bridge/forward Ipsec VPNs but it does not seem to work, let me explaing further.

      i get a net from remote site via ipsec and to my main office/server-pfsense and i want that net to be reacherble on my remote sites as well so i forward it via ipsec conenction,
      i made a ping test and does not work.

      ExternalRemoteNet-ipsec  -> main office pfsense –> remote sites via ipsec.

      I have an any/any firewall rule on ipsec, and when i do a capture i can see the ping go trough the firewall fine!

      do i need to etup a route or somthing to make this work?

        IPSec is routet on LAyer2 and your bridge is working on Layer2, could this be your Problem?

        If you will try out L2TP over IPSec it would be a better Chance to reach your Goal.

          Hi BlueKobold, thanks for your reply.

          im not running a bridge im just trying to get to the ipsec nets on my pfsense.

          we are using sonicwalls now and it works, but i want to replace them with pfsense boxes, and i cant get this to work.
