      Maybe I'm doing someyhing wrong. I can use IPSec and can connect to pfsense from outside. If I enable one OpenVPN client in pfsense, IPSec dosn't conect anymore. Can't both be used at the same time?

      PFsense 2.2.2 with 4GB
      Intel Nics

        No. https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/OpenVPN_Site_To_Site

        Any IPSec tunnel that references the same pair of subnets configured for use in OpenVPN must be disabled. IPSec and OpenVPN do not conflict otherwise.

            Well… I've been trying to find a way for this configuration:

            • 1 ipsec server
            • 1 openvpn client

            Only solution I see is to use openvpn only, right?
