      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.
