APM VPN ICMP not working

So I have a little lab setup, and I have created a SSL VPN with a network access profile. Everything TCP related works to my backend (HTTP; HTTPS etc), but for some reason I can't ping any backend server. I just get a:

 

36 bytes from [self-ip-of-F5]: Dest Unreachable, Bad Code: 9

 

Now I've tried various things: 1) Added ICMP allow all to ACLs (note: there are no other ACLs on the F5) 2) Allowed SNAT for ALL traffic (under System -> Configuration -> Local Traffic -> General)

 

But nothing works - I get the same error.

 

Now I know my SSL VPN VS is a TCP VS, but isn't the concept that there is a TCP tunnel between the client and the F5, and that the ICMP would come out of this tunnel, get SNATTED and then be able to get to the backend?

    Under Network Accesss config there is SNAT Pool, try changing it to AutoMap, also try proxy arp.
