I’ve been having quite a lot of issues setting up a vpn connection from my home network to my colo network. I’m pretty sure the setup is correct but the vpn only works from the colo to home. IE I can ping from the colo to home but not the other way round. It is not a complicated setup, I have two firewalls with a single network sitting behind them.

My setup is as follows –

Home

Cisco 857W ADSL Router
This is a pretty standard setup that does nothing else but route. It is maintained by myself and has a single IP statically assigned to its dialer interface provided by my isp. The vlan interface also has a set of static ips assigned to it by my isp. These are fully routable.
Dialer0 - 81.187.XXX.176
Vlan1 - 81.2.XXX.217

Fortigate 200 Firewall
This is also running a pretty standard setup. I use this as my firewall/router for my home lan. All the rules etc are setup on here. I don’t have any issues with this what so ever and it has been running for a long time. Except for hosted services all lan clients nat through the wan address assigned to the unit.
WAN – 81.2.xxx.218
LAN – 192.168.99.1

Colo

PF Sense Firewall (VM)
This firewall is a virtual machine sitting on the colo server. Although a virtualised setup isn’t ideal an extra 1U isn’t cheap. This too is running in a pretty simple setup also. Again, except for hosted services all lan clients nat through the wan address.
WAN – 188.xxx.188.242
LAN – 192.168.88.1

Any ideas as to why this setup isn’t working would be much appreciated. I have attached several screen shots of my setup, trace routes and my cisco config.
