      I was wondering if it is at all possible to use a (L2TP/IPsec with a pre-shared key) VPN link in pfsense.

      I have an L2TP link VPN setup in Windows to access a network but I will like to add it to pfsense so that all my devices on the network can access the same network.

      I have added it under PPP on my pfsense and assigned it an interface but it does not seem to want to connect.

        You would need to setup the IPSec transport part of that too to be able to connect as a client.

        It's not something we see often. There is no direct documentation for that.
