      Hello.

      I am attempting to set up a site to site VPN using ipsec. I'm following the netgate instructions from:

      https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/book/ipsec/site-to-site.html

      Site A: 172.20.0.0/24
      Site B: 172.20.1.0/24

      When I enabled the remote phase 1 ipsec tunnel, my connection via openvpn was dropped.

      Any attempted connection from 172.20.0.0/24 failed authentication. Luckily, if I logged on with a mobile device (non-Site A IP address) I could access the remote network.

      Any idea why when I enabled the phase 1 tunnel of ipsec, my computers on Site A could no longer connect via openvpn? Once I disabled the site B ipsec tunnel all openvpn connections from Site A resumed.

      How can I configure ipsec remotely via an OpenVPN tunnel?

      Thank you,

      Devan

        Please ignore, it was a configuration error during IPsec setup. Incorrect network for remote.
