    PROLOGUE: this is my first VPN lan-tol-lan using pfsense and ipsec.

    This is my ipsec tunnel. I CANNOT touch this.

    It's stable and working.

    For example, I can use

     ping -S 10.68.245.193 10.68.245.202
    

    This because the other side of my ipsec requires and forces us to present ourself as 10.68.245.192/29
    I cannot change this

    I am now trying to configure a IPSec as a gateway, because (as my end goal) I need to automatically route all trafic directed to 10.68.245.200/29 through ipsec.

    The problem is I cannot see ipsec as a gateway [ System -> Routing -> Static Routes -> Edit ]

    Also I cannot add ipsec as a new gateway because it's not listed in the interfaces [ System -> Routing -> Gateways ->Edit ]

    I supposed there is something of firewalling/routing theory I miss.
