      Does pfSense support this configuration?

      In a virtual environment, I plan on using a VPN appliance to connect many site-to-site VPN tunnels to my local VMs.

      So I will have many tunnels, approx. 1 per VM.

      For security reasons, I want to set up the VPN appliance VM to have many local 'interfaces', one per tunnel. That way, no VPN subnet will be accessible from another one, even if one of the local VMs gets hacked. (excluding the VPN appliance of course).

      Does pfSense support this? Can I set the VPN endpoint interface to the local instead of the WAN?

      TIA

            The answer is yes.
            However i dont see how this should improve security.
            Do you really want to encrypt traffic from one VM to another?

            We do what we must, because we can.
