      Case:
      LAN
      WAN (with ipsec)
      OPT1 (WAN2) (with ipsec)

      I need to configure a vpn system of vpn ipsec with 2 WAN's.

      The default vpn ipsec works with vpn WAN if the WAN downs I need to work with vpn OPT1 (WAN2).

      How can I do this?

      I see that it is possible with a system of failover VPN, but I don't konow how can I make it.

      Thank you.

        Currently, you have to manually fail over. I have disabled tunnels setup on the second WAN. When the main WAN fails, I disable the primary tunnel and enable the backup. I set this up awhile ago and remember having to set static routes to get it working, I'm not sure if this is still needed. Search a bit on ipsec failover or somesuch.
