Ping is bidirectional when you get replies, so there really are only two likely causes:

  • routing is wrong and it works one way because NAT is implemented differently in that direction, causing packet headers to contain IPs that routes match for (this can also affect what is going through the VPN and what is going through the WAN sometimes)
  • routing is right, and the client machine has a firewall that blocks ICMP requests but not replies to requests it made itself

If you need further help post the VPN configuration as well as your NAT rules, IP addresses and routes, ideally together with a network diagram.

yeah fewi your probably correct i have strong feeling this client machine blocking the icmp request they are using windows 7, even i tried L2TP and configure properly but same issue, im going to investigate this issue and i get back to you soon fewi.

thanks

fewi the problem solved now some of there client pc using win7 blocking the icmp request :laughing:
