      Any idea why i would not be able to ping certain hosts from my wan interface?

      I am able to ping certain hosts, but not others. I know those hosts are reachable inside the network by other clients. But when I VPN i can't talk to them. But I can talk to others.  I dont know if there is a default rule that should be allowed.

        Two simple checks

        1. hosts have firewall rules which doesn't allow ping from another subnet by default
        2. hosts doesn't have "correct" gateway information

          Or a route problem.
          Your VPN Subnet is known from all hosts ?
          All hosts have the same gateway on the network ?
          Can you test a traceroute on each side ?

            Hey guys, sorry for the delayed response.  i needed to add a static route pointing back to the pfsense appliance.

            thanks,
