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.

  • I concur with ManBearPig here that NAT should not be required.

    I am interested to see what the connection detail is for the VPN session.

    Here is some screen shots of some functioning VPN Firewall rules I use.

    Out to VPN

    In From VPN

     

    and obviously making sure you have similar rules on the other firewall.
