      ... unless I have 'use default gateway on remote network' ticked.

      Hi all,

      This relates to IPsec-based VPNs between Windows 10 and pfSense (I get the same symptom with L2TP/Ipsec and IKE2)

      The VPN connects fine, but I cannot ping anything on the remote network UNLESS I put a tick in 'use default gateway on remote network' in the properties of the VPN. I note that the Windows client receives an IP address from the pfSense, but no default gateway IP. Nor do any routes get added when I run 'route print'.

      Is this normal? Is there a way of getting around this?

      Thanks

      Adrian

        OK, I found this answers my question:

        https://forum.netgate.com/topic/113227/ikev2-vpn-for-windows-10-and-osx-how-to

        In short, it needs a workaround - add-vpnconnectionroute.

        Thanks
