        You may just be able to connect it behind pfSense and your client machine behind that. What sort of router is it? What sort of VPN is it?

        Or just use pfSense to establish the VPN directly if it's compatible.

            Well you can almost certainly connect to that with pfSense directly but that may not be popular you IT guys. Wirth asking though 😉

            Otherwise if they expect you to install it behind your ISP supplied router it will work behind NAT and hence behind pfSense as I described. As long as it's internal subnet does not conflict with your existing LAN you should just be able to connect it.

                Did it work just connected directly behind pfSense then?
