Hmm do you have any telnet servers you could try to connect to thought
the tunnel? I'm wondering if you're running into a MSS/no fragmentation
issue.
It might be nice to see a 
tcpdump -ni $lan-if -w output.pcap 'host $your_client_ip'
from the firewall. Let it capture for 5 mins while you try the remote
desktop session. When your finished just ctrl-c the tcpdump and send it
this way. You should know have a output.pcap file from what ever dir you
run that command.

I'm guessing we might need to do some mss fixup for ipsec tunnels.

Subject: [pfSense Support] IPSec tunnel and Remote Desktop

Hi,

I've created a site-to-site IPSec tunnel between my home and office. 
At home I'm using the latest pfsense, 0.86.4, and at work, m0n0wall. 
I used the basic instructions in the tutorial.

The home network is 10.53.x.x/24, the work network is 192.168.x.x/24. 
Both are NAT'ed.

At home I have a dynamic DNS, but that's ok since I only want to be
able to connect *to* the office.

The tunnel gets established properly, and I can ping machines at the
office through the tunnel.  I can access the webgui of the office's
m0n0wall router without a problem.

However, I cannot use remote desktop.  When I attempt to connect to a
machine, I get a partial connection (the screen starts drawing), but
it hangs and never even shows me the login information.

I was also hoping to access our office's sql server using the tunnel. 
I can establish the connection, but queries are never returned, and
query analyzer always complains about a broken network connection.

I'm guessing this has something to do with having the networks behind
NAT.

Any ideas?
