I'd like to use have a remote pfSense connect to a main pfSense automatically with OpenVPN
-
I'd like to configure a portable pfSense as some sort of VPN client which could be placed within a LAN (behind a firewall) and would automatically connect to a central pfSense or other OpenVPN, allowing me access to a remote LAN defined on pfSense. In other words, I'd like to ship a pfSense out and then ask a very non-technical person to "plug it in" and then have connectivity to a LAN defined within pfSense itself, provided the firewall permits traffic to the WAN.
Can this be done?

@unsichtbarre I do it all the time.
Put your "remote" box behind your primary box LAN and build the OpenVPN instance that way. Make sure both boxes have different LAN subnets.
