      We have VPNs to 2 separate vendors that are not using pfSense, but they have two IPs that they want us to add for their VPN in our pfSense for failover.
      I can't find any way to accomplish this in our pfSense. Is it even possible?

      We are using pfSense version 2.4.4

        Not easily. You can make a VPN to a hostname, and if the remote peer can update the hostname when a failover happens, that can trigger a failover.

        There isn't a way to use both peers at once at the moment though, not with tunneled IPsec.

        With routed IPsec (VTI) you could nail up a tunnel to both peer addresses and use a routing protocol like OSPF or BGP to decide when to fail over.
