      I know there are numerous other similar posts, but I haven't managed to solve my issue after a day and a half of troubleshooting.

      So, I have 2 pfsense vms running, connected site to site via openvpn.

      I have set up site A (which runs the openvpn client) with IPsec and works flawlessly.

      I have set up site B (which runs the openvpn server) and ipsec clients connect successfully, but no packets are transmitted.
      Firewall rules in place on all interfaces to allow all.
      SADs and SPDs look fine.

      I would greatly appreciate assistance or tips.

      Also, maybe an even better work around could be to be able to connect to site A via ipsec, and connections to site B to be catered for via openvpn, thus users would only need 1 vpn connection set up.

        I recently read a post where someone solved their problem right after posting here for assistance… this has now happened to me.

        All I had to do is add a route manually via powershell.

        Add-VpnConnectionRoute -ConnectionName "VPN_NAME" -DestinationPrefix "Network/Subnet" -PassThru
        
        

        taken from here
