      @Ermal: Do you think my NAT & Firewall Rules are ok on the WAN IF ?

        What NAT again? You've already been told you cannot NAT IPsec.

                @doktornotor: Checking my reply, I said I remove "any NAT rules" meaning the ones I manually created !
                But as known, the "Automatic Outbound NAT rules" persist due the mode !
                So I'm pretty sure that if config is correctly interpreted by pfSense no manual rule should interfere.

                But my Question was if any of the other inbound rules could interfere with VPN ?
                Do you have an answer for this ?

                  The automatic outbound NAT rules won't hurt anything with IPsec.

                  For inbound, if you have a port forward on UDP 500 or ESP traffic, that'll break it also. If you have a 1:1 NAT using the public IP where it terminates, that'll forward the traffic to an internal host and break things as well.

                    Hmm, thanks, but I can't find any inbound NATs with 500.
                    Maybe we should look at it using our old support contract ?

                      Commercial support is definitely the best answer. Your support expired over 5 years ago though, if you purchase to activate support on your account again, we can definitely assist.
