Solved: No traffic through VPN

[wilcotroost]

I am a rookie pfSense user and I followed the instructions on https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/IKEv2_with_EAP-MSCHAPv2 to setup my pfSense VPN. The client PC with Windows 8 seems to connect to the firewall. The virtual IP address is listed in ipconfig.

And now the problem: I cannot ping from the client PC to any IP address on the server side.

These are the specifics;

192.168.113.95 = client pc
192.168.113.1 = gateway
83.85.162.139 = router

192.168.1.1 = virtual address issued by firewall
149.210.239.154/24 = firewall WAN
10.1.1.254/24 = firewall LAN
10.1.1.1 = destination pc

• the firewall rule for IPSec IP4 * * * * * none is applied and active.

• a ping (utility in the firewall webinterface) from the firewall to 10.1.1.1 works

• a ping from 10.1.1.1 to 10.1.1.254 works

• a ping from the client pc to 192.168.1.1 works

• a ping from the client pc to 10.1.1.254 fails

• a ping from the client pc to 10.1.1.1 fails

I hope someone can shed some light on this.

Many thanx in advance !

Wilco.

It was a plain and simple routing problem on the client PC.
As soon as I added the route;

• route -p add 10.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0 192.168.1.1

It works like a charm now !
