      Hello there,

      I've setup a PFSense firewall in one of our external site.
      I need to link the external site to the main one.

      • There's no PFSense solution in place at the main site.
      • There's an OpenVPN server in place at the main site.
        The questions are:
      • Do all clients have to connect to the main site with their respective VPN client ?
      • Is PFSense is able to establish a VPN connection to the main site (by OpenPVN or another solution ?) so all clients who are at the external site go to the main site through the PFSense firewall ?
      • Is there another solution I didn't mentionned ?

      I can't install a PFSense firewall at the main site, unfortunately…

      Thanks in advance

      Nicolas

        You should be able to set up an OpenVPN client connection to the main site's OpenVPN server no problem.

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

          OK.

          Via VPN > OpenVPN > Client, is this right ?

          Thanks ;)
