pfsense as IPSec client
-
Hello,
Is it possible to configure a pfsense box as an IPSec VPN client?
I have access to my network at work via IPSec VPN, and I want my home pfsense router to login automatically to this VPN when I am trying to reach an IP address located within my work's network, for example if I want to access my work's file server. What I want to do is to remove the requirement for my PC at home to have to connect manually as a client when I want to access my work's VPN.
The credentials I am using on my home PC when I want to log in to my work VPN are:
IPSec gateway, ID, secret, and Xauth username and password.Any guidance would be much appreciated.
Many thanks!

No, it cannot act as an xauth client.

Doing so without having (written) permission to do so from your company or institution would most certainly breaking several guidelines or compliance rules. And I can tell you that network/security/IT guys wouldn't be very happy with you if they would find out, that you simply hooked your full home network into their corporate network. You simply don't. Had to do that 15y ago for a CEO. He nearly wiped out his company network by his son running amok on his private network that he forced us to hook into the corporate one. Simply no.
