      Long to listener, first time caller…

      Recently I deployed my first IPSEC tunnel on an pfsense install. Both branch offices have Cisco 5505 appliances.

      At the main office I can ping and access reources that are at the branch offices. But at the branch offices I can not ping or access resources at the main office.

      Disclosure...

      I have never used the IPSEC feature in pfsense, so I could be missing something very general that doesnt relate to the Cisco appliances at all.

      Thanks in advance!

        Generally speaking, only two things would prevent traffic from moving.

        1. The tunnel isn't actually up (check status > ipsec)
        2. Firewall rules on the IPsec tab (Firewall > rules) are not allowing the traffic
