      Hi Guys,
      I have two pfsenses on distant location and I want to establish ipsec vpn site to site connection. I followed this documentation : https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/ipsec-s2s-psk.html

      PFSense A :
      WAN IP : 46.4.42.59
      LAN IP : 192.168.17.254 (network 192.168.17.248/29)

      PFSense B :
      WAN IP : 81.248.56.192
      LAN IP : 192.168.1.254 (network 192.168.1.0/24)

      Talking about IPSEC here are the conf :
      PFSense A :
      Phase 1 :
      Remote Gateway : 81.248.56.192
      Phase 2 :
      Local Network : LAN Subnet
      Remote Network : 192.168.1.0/24

      PFSense B :
      Phase 1 :
      Remote Gateway : 46.4.42.59
      Phase 2 :
      Local Network : LAN Subnet
      Remote Network : 192.168.17.248/29

      Each time I try to connect Site A to Site B, the Site B's Logs say:

        State the respective local public IP as "My identifier" in phase 1 on either site.

          @viragomann said in ipsec not finding peer config:

          State the respective local public IP as "My identifier" in phase 1 on either site.

          You are right it fixed it.
          It was set to "My IP Address" and not explicitly as IP Adress.
          Thank you for this advice

            @viragomann thank you very much it now works.

            It was set as "My IP Address" but seems that it don't work when it is not explicitly set.
