      Please excuse my poor English, I have 2 site both with dual WAN link connection, and I would like to know it is possible to setup the site to site IPSec VPN between 2 location with high availability, for example once the primary VPN link is go down cause by the WAN link fault, the backup VPN link will bring up or change to traffic route though the backup link in each site with single PFsense firewall.

        You can do this with gateway groups and dynamic DNS, but it is not very reliable.

        The best way to do it is to set up GRE tunnels over IPsec transport mode, with OSPF on top of it to handle the routing.

        If it ain't broke, you haven't tampered enough with it
