Nice video man! I just wanna coz im very new to this site to site vpn. What if have like 5 offices to connect but only one has Static IP and the rest have dynamic ip. what is the best configuration for this?
great video thnx but my problem was when i configure ipsec the tab ipsec in the rules dosen"t appear and i sure i configure and i try to enable ipsec but the it didn’t appear ! i used pfsense 2.3.5 and i tried in 2.4.4 also the same problem !
Hi, is there any way we can get an ipsec vpn tunnel between pfsense and zyxel USG series? I could not figure it out 🙁
which is best site to site vpn, openvpn or ipsec
Very well detailed, congratulations helped me a lot in clarifying some doubts
Great video! well explained thanks for the effort.
Nice tutorial! Well explained!
Great Job Man,
Big Thank you for your video’s

very good. thanks
Very good tuto !!
For whoever needs this! If you cannot ping/route between your various LAN networks….make sure to go onto each pfsense console and assign the interface IP again. Even after you’ve set up the full ipsec vpn tunnels. Then make sure to disconnect the ipsec vpn tunnel and reconnect it. In my case I followed this tutorial step by step but had my LAN interface IP set to /32 somehow. When I changed it to the correct /24 and reconnected the ipsec vpn tunnel in the web gui, it all started working. Thanks @vmnerd for a fantastic tutorial!
Great video tuto, is possible add a tutorial for client ipsec to pfsense (iphone, remote pc, mac, etc) thx¡
Question! I was able to connect my primary site to my first remote site. I’m able to ping the inside gateway address but I cannot access the web browser. When I check the IPsec status on both sides one says up (Primary site) but the remote site says down. Any reasons why I would get this? Thanks in advance!
Great video! But what if I want to insert two remote gateways IPs? On the other side I’ll have a Fortigate firewall with two vpns ipsec, one being the failover of the primary one (so the secondary is set in monitor mode, once the primary goes down, the other one detects it and enables itself). Can’t find anything on the internet explaining how to configure some sort of vpn failover having only one wan on the PFSense side and two wans on the other side.
This is by far the best video I have seen on creating a site-to-site VPN using IPSEC and pfSense. Keep up the great work!
thank you so much my brother for your video

Hey man, dunno if you’re still active or not but if you are shoot me a reply or a DM if possible I wanna pick your brain on something.
You’re the best my friend. Keep goin’on! Great video Tutorial.
Excellent Video -THANK YOU!
Very nice and useful video! I also had to add UDP 4500 to the WAN rules, as the tunnel was established but no traffic was flowing. Hope this helps anyone.
Is it required, to have static public ip addresses for both or all sites?
Very Well explained! Damn dude, this was awesome. Exactly what I needed to know.
Well done, and straight to the point. It’s long, but there is plenty to explain, and lots of configuration.
That’s one of the better how to video’s I’ve ever seen so far. Maybe, adding the part how to use RSA certificates would make it even more unique. Thanks for sharing. Well done!
Excellent- do you have one on GRE tunnels?
Do you know how can we configure site to site with multi wan ? for example i have 2 wan links at site 1 and 2 wan links at site 2 . Trying to set up multiwan for ipsec failover.
how to setup DNS resolver/forwarder with this setup so you can reach any workstation in any of the sites with just a name
Kudos
Awesome my Brother
