      Hi all,
      i don't know if my problems is: NAT (outbound), firewall, VIP or ipsec or Others…. but i know that i am really in trouble.

      my vpn IPsec begins only in one direction!!!!!!

      i have two pfsense, i will call them pfsenseA and pfsenseB.

      pfsenseA:
      it has one public ip and two lans (lanA and lanB, and each lan is a gateway for some clients). each lan comes out with the same public ip

      pfsenseB:
      it has some virtual ip (vipA and vipB) and two lans (lanA and lanB, and each lan is a gateway for some clients). each lans comes out with his public ip.
      it has the outbound nat rule:

      • all traffic from lanA comes out with vipA
      • all traffic from lanB comes out with vipB
        This works correctly

      The IPsec tunnel is between lanA of pfsenseA and lanA of pfsenseB

      When I try to call the vpn from lanA of pfsenseB, to pfsenseA, it works
      When I try to call the vpn from lanA of pfsenseA, to pfsenseB, it not works

      I have not idea where is the problem, but i have spent too time and this problem block my project (and it makes me mad!!!!)

      Please, help me to resolv it, is very important
