      Hello everyone,

      I have this configuration on my PFsense IPSec for a client. The objective is for me to reach the client network and also for the client to be able to reach my network. But using P2 configuration below, I can only reach my client network but client network cannot reach my network.
      Please, what should I do to solve the problem on P2.

      Local Network: Address > 192.168.0.45
      NAT/BINAT: Address > 199.16.10.77
      Remote Network: Network>10.10.50.115/32

        @adebisi They need to connect to 199.16.10.77.

        Firewall rules on the IPsec tab need to pass the inbound traffic.

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

          @Derelict said in IPsec route and source NAT. I can reach remote site but remote site cannot reach me:

          Firewall rules on the IPsec tab need to pass the inbound traffic.

          Thanks @Derelict.
          Where will the Firewall rule be configured?

          Is it on my PFsense or on the client firewall?

            @adebisi Firewall > Rules, IPsec

            Rules on that tab govern what connections are allowed into your firewall from IPsec tunnels.

            There is no way to know what might be required at the other side. You'll have to work with them on that.
