Site to Site VPNs with VPC peering connections

Question

Hi,

I have 2 VPCs (VPC A and VPC B) in 2 different regions connected through VPC peering. Each VPC has a public subnet and a private subnet. Our services reside in the private subnets. I also created 2 VPNs (1 for each VPC) that connect to the same customer gateway device in the office according to the suggestion in this article (https://repost.aws/articles/ARy1NuLZbJQh2vgnZ2BzXxGw/why-can-t-i-connect-to-a-peered-vpc-when-using-an-aws-site-to-site-vpn-connection-that-terminates-on-a-virtual-private-gateway). All the 4 VPN tunnels are UP. Now, I can ping the services in VPC A from the office but unable to reach the services in VPC B. How shall I configure the route tables to reach the services in VPC B?

p.s. We need to keep the VPC peering for other purposes.

Thanks,
Pan Hong

Hello.

Is there a route configured in the route table of VPC B to connect to the office?  
Or is route propagation done with BGP?  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpn/latest/s2svpn/VPNRoutingTypes.html

If the route table on the AWS side is configured as shown below, I think communication will be possible.

| dest | target |
| --- | --- |
| VPC A CIDR | VPC peering |
| VPC B CIDR | local |
| Office CIDR | VGW |

Also, are the inbound rules configured to allow access from the office network in the security group such as EC2 that you are connecting to?
