      I builded a IPSEC VPN channel between 2  pfsense 1.2.3.

      Site A: LAN : 10.10.0.0/23

      Site B: LAN:192.168.0.0  
               OPT1:192.168.100.0

      IPsec vpn created between WAN port in pfsense.

      Now, IPsec vpn is ok , I can access B site LAN from site A LAN, but I can't access SITE B OPT1 from SITE A,  
      How should I do? Please advise.

        Hello,

        We have the same problem. Our solution is to create a 2nd IPSec Tunnel with the Subnet of the Opt1 as the remote Network.
        I can not say that this works good or not so good. Because we have some problem with the ipsec itself.
        Another way was to setup a static route but this doesnt worked. The PFsense sends the Packages to the default gateway witch was the wan in our case.

        Regards from Cologne (Germany)

              Hm, so seen from now it works… i think so :-)

              We have 2 pfsense Boxes connected via the internet. both have at least 1 static ip on wan side.
              The 1st Box hast just a LAN and WAN interface.
              The 2nd Box hast a LAN,OPT1 and WAN interface.

              The goal was to integrade the 1st Box to our land behind the 2nd box. For this we created 2 IPSEC tunnel:

              1. connects LAN/Box1 to Lan/Box2
              2. connects LANBox1 to Opt1/Box2

              So the users in the Lan on Box1 can now acces the Lan and Opt1 of Box2.

              Seen form Box 2 there are now 2 way to get packages to the Lan on Box1.... what ever - it works. Will see what the next days will bring to us.

              Regards from Germany

                  Just Setup 2 tunnels/connections as this 2 would be the only one by them self. By the way. my ipsecs crashs all the time. I do not know why but its not very stable at this point. Maybe this is not the right solution :-)
