      Not sure if this is the right section to post in, but is there a way in pfsense to route traffic through a L2TP VPN? If more info is needed, please reply.

      Thanks!

        It doesn't matter what sort of link it is, it's just basic routing. It's the same for any point to point link.

        Perhaps a little more info might help, as my crystal ball is busted.

        PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
        i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
        UniFi AC-Lite access point

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

          @JKnott thanks for replying! first I would need to know where can I input my VPN credentials? I'm a noob when it comes to pfsense.

              @viktor_g I'm trying to make pfsense act as a client instead of a server to connect to another VPN.

                @chorong761 you need to create L2TP interface with Interfaces / PPPs
                see example:

                      @viktor_g I want to add a vpn to pfsense and only certain sites pass traffic through it(region unlock).
