      This is probably a super easy question, but I haven't been able to find the solution.
      I have pfsense 2.3.4 with a p2p ipsec tunnel. This works great, traffic flows as expected.

      However, traffic from the pfsense device itself (127.0.0.1) cannot reach the remote lan (10.10.10.0) at the ipsec tunnel. All devices on the lan side of pfsense and lan of remote site can reach each other. The reason I wanted to do this was to send syslog messages to an existing server on the remote lan that does not have internet access.

      The firewall is completely opened up for the local and remote lans. How do I resolve?

        Because that traffic does not match a "phase 2."

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!
