      I'd like to create several IPsec clients to my providers, set them as interfaces and load balance them but the only option besides server VPN there is, seems to be site-to-site.

      I looked under PPP in interface assignments and nothing there either. I've been rereading the online pfSense Book but again, nothing, OpenVPN is documented though, but I need IKEv2. That book is missing a lot of stuff. ๐Ÿ˜’

        Not in that way. You can use IKEv2 for site-to-site but not for the firewall to act like a mobile client.

        IPsec is not routed (yet), so balancing Internet traffic on multiple IPsec tunnels could not work anyhow.

          Oh, that's too bad. At least there's that yet to give me hope. ๐Ÿค•

          Thanks!
