VPN up but unable to ping...
-
... 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:

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