      I have the following S2S configuratiion

      999ffb12-c7db-4941-86e3-dcf1c19c68d2-image.png

      Unfortunately, I can connect (ping, netcat, ssh) only from client to the server, but not back.

      If I can ssh normally, it means that firewall is not the problem, right? Since packages are travelling in both directions?

      Also I can netcat from server to client by a tunnel address of 192.168.27.2, i.e. run

      nc -l 1234
      

      on client, and

      nc 192.168.27.2 1234
      

      on server and then I see the communication.

      What does it mean? How to diagnose the problem?

        I made a mistake, I can't connect backwards by any means. But I can see ping traffic with packet capture on a client when pining it from server.
