Hi!


\\ pfSense v1.0.1



We're having a VPN appliance thrust upon us by our newly acquired (!) parent 
company, in order to provide site-to-site connectivity between "us & them".



To reach the parent company's remote LANs at head-office I think I need to add 
static routes on our pfSense box pointing to the locally hosted VPN appliance 
which will then encrypt traffic destined to the parent co's network ranges?



Thus;



pfSense > Static Routes:



Interface            Network            Gateway

LAN                  10.1.0.0/16        192.168.1.253



Where "LAN" is the name of one of our local interfaces, 10.1.0.0/16 the remote 
network and 192.168.1.253 the address of the VPN alliance.  Do people think I'm 
on the right track with all this?



In readiness for the VPN box arriving I've actually put some static routes in 
place and attempted traceroute to an address on one of the remote networks from 
a machine on our LAN interface which the static route is setup on. 



Strangely though the output from traceroute shows packets attempting to leave 
the building via our standard ADSL feed like anything else and not trying to go 
via 192.168.1.253 the address of the soon to be added VPN box.  Is that what 
people would expect?  The machine I'm trying to trace from is definitely on the 
pfSense interface called "LAN" where I created the static route.



I'm confused...



Many thanks,



Steve
