      I am trying to set up a mobile VPN tunnel to a pfSense via IPSec so that I can manage the pfSense remotely if need be.  The tunnel is being established, but I cannot see anything on the local network.

      • I have a F/W rule on my IPSec interface allowing any protocol from any source to any destination.

      • Under Mobile Clients configuration, I provide a virtual IP address to clients and provide a list of accessible networks to clients.

      • The virtual IP pool does not overlap with my local network pool.

      • I've confirmed that my tunnel IP address on my client is within the pool defined for mobile clients above.

      • When the tunnel is up, and I try to ping a machine on my local network, it just hangs.

      • If I let my pings run and drop my tunnel, it starts responding ping: sendmsg: Network is unreachable.

      • If I let my pings run and move my connection from my test ISP connection to my local WiFi connection, after a few network unreachable messages, I start getting valid ping responses.

      I feel like I'm missing something stupid/simple.  Any advice?

      Thanks.
