      I have two PfSense/Monowall connected using IPSec VPN. I am wondering if I can use remote gateway as the default gateway

      site A LAN 192.168.50.0/24, default gateway 192.168.50.1, WAN example1.com
      site B LAN 192.168.60.0/24, default gateway 192.168.60.1, WAN example2.com

      site A's machines can access 192.168.60.0/24 and vice versa

      Is it possible for me to set default gateway on some of the site A's machines to 192.168.60.1

      Thanks and Regards RW

        Hi RW,
        If you set a "local" user to the gateway on the "remote" network you may loose the ability to talk on the network. Are you attempting to force some clients to route out of the remote network while still having some local clients rout out of their local network?

        If so, just wondering.. What do you intend to achieve from this?
