      I have conncted a PFSense to a Linksys via IPSEC VPN.
      It is connected but I cannot ping any of the LAN Gateways.

      Any Ideas?

          Yes, I did create them.
          Now, I can ping from the PFSense to the destination but not from the destination to the pfsense.

            Then you have a problem at the remote end. Maybe it needs some firewallrules too? Also note that the devices that are establishing the tunnels usually can't use the tunnel itself unless you add a fake static route. Retry from clients behind the vpn endpoints.
