I seems your gateway does NAT and no simple routing.
I think so, because you have changed the VPN subnet, but eg. a ping from
x.0 network to y.0 network will not be possible if you don't have a vpn
for both subnets. Have a look in the log fof mOnOwall 2 if you get the
ping from the gateway ETH1 address (NAT) or from the Cient from the x.0
network. Tracert will be better for debuging
