Issue with routing (i think) Amazon AWS to local network

Hi all,

I need help with my current pfsense setup. I have created a working IPsec tunnel from my local network to the amazon web services. PFSense is actually sitting behind a hardware firewall and i am forwarding traffic through it. IPsec Connection is up and I can ping and remote desktop from my local network on subnet 192.168.1.0/24 to my AWS instances on subnet 10.0.0.0/16, i have setup routing correctly in AWS and I can successfully RDP back to a server in 192.168.1.0.

however when i try to ping a server in my local network i receive 4 "timed out" and 100% packet loss, i have allowed ICMP on both firewalls (the hardware firewall and pfsense) and I can actually see the traffic in the firewall logs and the destination it is going to.

Why do I receive a timeout?

Thanks in advance
