      Hello, I try to connect from my home to my office (pfsense) through vpn. I've used this https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/l2tp-ipsec.html to configure L2TP/IPsec on the pfsense in my office and it's working. But when I try to connect a second PC, I can't until I disconnect the first connection. Thanks for your help.

        I've found this VPN > IPsec, Advanced Settings, change Configure Unique IDs as to Never and it's working now

          After more tests I've discovered the solution doesn't work. I have locations where 2 users connected but the 3rd wasn't able to... until one of those 2 logout from vpn.

                @viktor_g Hello, I've seen that too but it didn't help me. The solution was to reconfigure the vpn to IPsec IKEv2 and everyone is happy.
