    I have Site A tunnel to Site B using IPsec.
    Each site's computers can ping other site's computers no problem. And access either Sites' resource no problem.
    But pfSense's Ping in Diagnostics can't ping either Site's computer.

    Why's that, please help :)

      To achieve this you have to configure the Static Route Workaround as described in the pfSense docs.

        This static routes is for accessing firewall service over IPsec. With this, both sides' computers can reach other sides' computers.

        Is it mean, IPsec setting is not really need this Static Route Work Around?

          This is to get access from / to the firewall itself.
