      Hello here,

      i'm trying to build a rather complex setup which chains multiple ipsec tunnels.

      to put it simply here is the setup:
      network1==>pfsense(ipsec)<==>pfsense(ipsec)<==network2==>strongswan(ipsec)==>network3

      network1: 192.168.10.0/24
      network2: 192.168.0.0/24
      network3: 172.19.0.0/16

      from network1 and network3 i can access network2 no problem

      but I can't access network3 from network1 and vice-versa

      Any clues on how to fix that ?

      Thanks a lot for your help folks :)

      Cheers,

        Every step needs P2 entries for every possible combination of traffic.

        • On both sides of the tunnel from 1<->2, it needs P2s for 1-2 and 1-3.
        • On both sides of the tunnel from 2<->3, it needs P2s for 2-3 and 1-3.

        Expanded a bit:

        Site 1 tunnel 1<->2 has P2s:

        • Local 1 / Remote 2
        • Local 1 / Remote 3

        Site 2 tunnel 2<->1 has P2s:

        • Local 2 / Remote 1
        • Local 3 / Remote 1

        Site 2 tunnel 2<->3 has P2s:

        • Local 2 / Remote 3
        • Local 1 / Remote 3

        Site 3 tunnel 3<->2 has P2s:

        • Local 3 / Remote 2
        • Local 3 / Remote 1
