      Good Evening! I have a quandary that I can't figure out. I've got two sites connected by an IPSec VPN, both sides running pfSense 2.2.6 boxes.  Some hosts will ping and some will not.

      Site A - 192.168.0.0/24 - Firewall allows any/any traffic on the IPSec interface and LAN allows Site B to any.

      Site B - 192.168.3.0/24 - Firewall allows any/any traffic on the IPSec interface and LAN allows Site A to any

      On the Site A LAN 192.168.0.203 AND 192.168.0.202 will both ping.

      On the Site B LAN 192.168.0.202 will ping but 192.168.0.203 will not.

      All Phase 2 entries are /24.

      Any ideas what I have screwed up here?

        Where some things ping and some won't, look at the clients. Most often, it's a local firewall like the Windows firewall blocking off-subnet pings.

          None of the addressees I'm unable to ping are running Windows or have firewalls. Anything else I can check?

            Basic network config on the hosts in question the next most likely. Missing or wrong default gateway, wrong subnet mask.
