      If I add another isp, is it possible to set up a openvpn tunnel for the second wan and be able to load balance?

                   /-----ISP A -> Internet

      PFsense---
      ----ISP B -> OpenVPN tunnel -> Internet

      If you can't tell, I don't trust ISP B as much as ISP A

        Not really load balancing, but you can make your OpenVPN server to listen on both WANs and configure the client to connect to the other WAN IP if one fails.

        To do so, configure the OpenVPN server to listen on localhost and forward the OpenVPN packets from both WANs to it.

        In the client config simply add a remote line for the second IP.
