Cannot access webservers through vpn that are on a different gateway

the route doesn't work
Route doesn't work where? You can not put the route on the other gateway... It would have to be on the device your trying to talk to..
For starters if this other gateway is stateful he would not pass on your syn,ack because there is no state for it.. The correct solution if you want to bring this vpn in via pfsense vs your current edge is connect pfsense to your edge router via a transit network - as already mentioned by @viragomann

The route on the destination device itself:@silvered-dragon said in Cannot access webservers through vpn that are on a different gateway:
Since these devices use another default gateway, they will send out responses to it, not back to the IPSec gateway.
You will have to add static routes to both for the remote network, pointing to the Mikrotik. Have you done that?
yes, I added all the necessary static routes on each device on the network both outward and return, otherwise I would not have had ping or registered extensions or even the tcpdump that I reported. -
The logical answer to this is no he didn't do it correctly..
Because if he did - then it would be working..
-
Yeap, I think so.
-
Did he show us these routes? No
Did he show a sniff on pfsense - where the syn,ack was sent back to pfsense - No
But its work if he source nats - logical conclusion is host routing that he stated he did was not done, or was done wrong.

@johnpoz
I'm with you. -
Not sure why anyone would go that route anyway.. Why would you not just connect pfsense via a transit network to your edge router.. If you want to use pfsense for vpn.
Or better yet just replace whatever your using as your edge with pfsense, since clearly its vpn features is lacking that you want, or you would just be doing your vpn there.
Its like people like to cause themselves pain and issues, when there is such an easy solution..

@johnpoz as I wrote I can ping, I can see traffic going from the remote side to the webserver and viceversa, and most of all my extensions are registering and I can call and pass all rtp traffic, so this cannot be a routing problem. if I make a traceroute from both sides the routing is what I'm expecting see this:

I just updated my last answer cause the capture was wrong

@silvered-dragon said in Cannot access webservers through vpn that are on a different gateway:
if I masquerade the remote networks on the central mikrotik behind the lan interface, things works.
So the only two reasons for failing without that I can think off are
- the route doesn't work
- the destination server itself blocks the access
Blocking access from outside its own subnet is the default behavior of system firewalls, however, a webserver should be configured to accept access from anywhere. I assume, the server is accessible from the internet.
@silvered-dragon said in Cannot access webservers through vpn that are on a different gateway:
But honestly I'm not sure that masquerading the remote lan is a good practice.
The only one drawback is that you cannot identify the real source address on the destination device, as long as you do the masquerading only for the remote lan.
I'm 100% sure that there is no issue related on the servers side cause I created new vms with basic configuration, and I cannot access nothing in tcp even a simple debian+ssh
