      I did not include ANY kill switches like IVPN suggests (not too sure if the Surfshark had that on their guide).

      So there is one option in pfSense you really should tick: Skip rules when gateway is down (SystemAdvancedMiscellaneous)

      For my setup, it looks like BERLIN has continuous problems but also I have not seen the same flakiness now having a "Killswitch" for OpenWRT. So for me it could still be a problem in pfSense.

        Yes, I have a very good tutorial in PDF format specifically created for surfshark wireguard on Pfsense.

        Apparently you can't attach files here so I put it on my Google drive.

            It says "You need access"
            Can u please modify the settings to allow the access for all?

                    I was interested. Is that an issue? 😕

                            Conversation I had with technician at Surf Shark about two WireGuard tunnels simultaneously:

                            another question can I use the same tunnel and have multiple gateways(Peers) going to different surfshark servers through the same tunnel?

                            Not at the same time, but you can use the same tunnel with different peers, yes.
                            Okay, can I create individual tunnels for each peer (Surfshark server) I wish to use as a gateways.
                            I have done this using the openvpn protocol

                            Essentially yes.
                            Isn't the problem generating keys for each tunnel?

                            Not really, as you can use the same private keys with multiple tunnels. I would just like to emphasize that multiple connections at a time from the same device will most likely encounter issues.

                            The challenge I ran into was thinking the endpoint port (51820) had to match the tunnel port.. It cannot be changed - obviously it is set by SurfShark, but it means both tunnels share the same endpoint port.

                            It seems to work:
