      Hi all,

      I'm trying to figure out how to set up two OpenVPN tunnels between two PFSense firewalls using the two WAN links, one WAN link per tunnel.

      I need an OpenVPN tunnel established between WAN1 of FW1 and WAN1 of FW2; and
      a tunnel established between WAN2 of FW1 and WAN2 of FW2.

      The WAN1 tunnel is not a problem but I don't know how to get the WAN2 tunnel up.

      Do I need to assign localhost as the interface to use in OVPN settings with forwarding?

      Thanks in advance.

        Simply add a static route on the client side for the servers WAN2 address using the clients WAN2 gateway.

          Hi and thank you for replying so quickly.

          I'm not sure from your reply if you're under the impression I already have both VPN links up and running.

          To clarify, I can only get the WAN1 VPN up. I cannot get the WAN2 VPN up.

          Each time I select the WAN2 interface under OpenVPN server settings, the VPN will not come up.

          Thanks again.

            So there should appear hints in the OpenVPN Log to find out the reason.
