IPsec Tunnel/Routing Problem

Hello everyone,

I am having what I believe is a routing issue when trying to route traffic across an IPsec tunnel. The system is running FreeBSD 9.1-STABLE, PF firewall and ipsec-tools-0.8.0_3. The tunnel in question is to a vendor that is running a Palo Alto device and I do not have any control of their end of the tunnel. The purpose of the tunnel is to reach a number of web servers on their private network. The particulars are as follows:

  • Vendor Private Net - 172.16.1.0/24
  • Out Private Net - 10.29.161.0/24
  • Vendor requires us to NAT all traffic to a single IP - 10.29.161.254

I am able to establish the VPN tunnel; both phase 1 and phase 2 complete without errors and the vendor sees the tunnel up on their end. I am able to pass traffic on port 80 from the firewall to their web servers, but I am not able to reach their web servers from any of the computers on our network.

pf.conf (abbreviated):
Code:

set skip on { lo0, gif0 }

nat on $ExtIf from $IntIf:network to any -> $ExtIf
nat on $IntIf from $IntIf:network to 172.16.1.0/24 -> 10.29.161.254

pass in log on $IntIf inet proto tcp
pass in log on $IntIf inet proto { udp, icmp }

Something that I have discovered which is interesting: I am not able to pass traffic on gif0 unless it is skipped in pf.conf as shown above.

To sum up, no traffic on the 10.29.161.0/24 network can reach the web servers across the VPN tunnel on the 172.16.1.0/24 network. The firewall on the other hand can reach the web servers across the tunnel. I am at a loss and am not sure what to try next. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
