IP Sec tunnels: Ends of the tunnel cannot ping each other

I have set up IPSec VPN between two sites, branch and head offices. Using SOPHOS XG 130 and 230 respectively.

 

The tunnels are up, but I cannot ping or traceroute any IP address on either side of the tunnel.

 It is not the firewall rules, the screenshot is attached to this

OUTBOUND TRAFFIC RULES

INBOUND TRAFFIC RULES

 

 

The device access too, I am pretty sure I checked a lot of necessary things there. 

 

 

So please what could have gone wrong here? Why am I unable to ping the other side, from either side?

Would truly appreciate a quick solution to this.

 

PS: It's getting serious that there seems to be a lot of issues when SOPHOS needs to be used for small things.

  • Basically you do not need NAT for VPN... So this is just a workaround for the current issue. 

    Seems like the gateway is not correct configured and the client cannot respond to the traffic coming from the VPN. So NAT (MASQ) resolve such issues.
