      I have two offices that each have 200mbps internet and we have a 100mbps point to point. I'm looking to move to pfsense and wondering if it support point to point fail over through vpn? At the same time I would like to fail over internet through the p2p. Is this a configuration that can be accomplished?

        Yes you can configure the pfSense software to do that.

          ftware to do that.

          Ok. That's good. Does anyone have a guide on doing that?

            Start with a Multi-WAN configuration. No I don't know of a guide for that specific set of circumstances. It's pretty uncommon.

            I would start by just getting the two WANs and the PtP working between the sites, then work on using that PtP as a backup WAN for each side.
