      I've got an IPSec VPN established on two pfSense (v2.1.5) boxes running FreeBSD 8.3-Release-p16.  The tunnel is coming up.  I can see all of site A from site B and most of site B from site A.  The only thing I can't do is see the Web Configurator of Site B from Site A (although I can see Site A's Web Configurator from Site B).  I can Ping and SSH to Site B's firewall from Site A, but I can't get to the Web Configurator.  Not sure if it's related to this:  https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=85024.0

      Anybody seen this?

        Okay.  Figured this one out.  When I access my local F/W, I can just type in the host name (without the http(s):// part) and it automatically redirects to https://.  However, when I type the host name of the F/W on the other site, it does not redirect, so it's trying to hit http://host.name.com.  As soon as I type the whole thing (i.e. https://host.name.com) it works.  Not sure why I'm getting the redirect going from site B to site A and not from site A to site B, but I can live with it.
