      Looking for some insight. I have two pfS boxes in one location (A & B), each has their own physical WAN but they are also interconnected to each other via a local LAN gateway interfaces on each. I have OpenVPN installed and configured on A & B with no issues. For failsafe reasons, what I want to do is VPN into one or the other from an external source and then be able to connect to the local interface of the other (ie reach the local admin logon page). Both LAN on A & B can talk to each other with no issues when not on VPN. I am sure I am missing a rule somewhere.

      Thanks

      If this is in the wrong forum, feel free to move.

        Since you're able to connect both VPNs, it's just a local routing issue.

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

          Thanks. I can route from each A to B or B to A while on the LAN, just not while on the VPN. Do I need to create a static route and/or also firewall rules on the crossover interface(s)?

            Do the 2 systems know about the remote VPN address on the other system? That is, A needs a route to the remote B VPN address.

              Nope, but I just added a route and it's good to go !

              Thanks!
