      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 !
