  1. Great article, got my site to site ssl vpn tunnel connected, but I have no communication between sites, can’t reach or ping any of the devices on either end. Any insight or help would be appreciated.

    • Hi Vitor, you need to check:
      – ping between Local Interface of each UTM is ok or not?
      – Make sure the Server, PC don’t block the Ping.
