      Hi,

      I'm trying to create an IPSEC tunnel from behind an ISP router that provides a dynamic IP address to the PFSENSE WAN router.

      Unfortunately, I cannot make it work. Could be the issue that the firewall is doing the connection behind an ISP router?

        @jpattard Double NAT may be your problem.

          Can you put the ISP's router in "bridge" mode? That way pfsense will receive a WAN facing IP address.

            @elvisimprsntr The router is a TP-Link load balancer that does the connection to the ISP, I tried The Port Forwarding UDP/TCP 500 (Virtual Servers) to the pfsense IP Address but same issue...
