Today I need to bring down the WAN 2 link for an installation of a new wall outlet.
During WAN2 was down I tried the VPN connection - works as expected , using the WAN1 link.
When WAN2 was up again I checked again the VPN connection, again it worked, now with WAN2.
Without my pseudo tunnels it will not work. I guess, that is a bug in pfSense software.
Looking forward, if 2.5 will fix this issue.
As far as I found this issue is a very old one, people claimed since years about it.
Regards
