BOVPN Policy vs. 'normal' Policy
What's the difference between a normal Packet Filter policy and a BOVPN policy for controlling traffic between sites (BOVPN endpoints)? I've always used Custom Packet filter polices and just added the Subnet(s) of the remote/BOVPN networks...
Should I be using the BOVPN policies instead?

The auto created BOVPN-Allow.in and .out policies (if you have selected the check box) are just an Any packet filter, as one can see by looking at the icon (brick wall with a hole) or at the Properties (Any).
Custom Packet filter polices are perfectly fine, and can control what packets are allowed through the tunnel.
Right. I recently came across your Spiceworks Post (https://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/110660-watchguard-bovpn-tunnels-policies-explained) and am wondering why you use a BOVPN policy vs. a normal policy?
