      Hello friends.

      My pfSense is configured with two internet links, link A and link B. Link A is the firewall's default gateway.

      IPsec only connects to the link that is configured as default.

      Should I configure a NAT for ports 500 and 4500 or due to the routes, is this how IPsec works?

        So if you switch the default gateway over to B, it connects as well?
        Then I would expect, that there are proper outbound NAT rules in place already.

        Is the remote site configured to accept both WAN IPs?

          @viragomann It is set for the firewall to configure the rules automatically.

          Both links connect, as long as it is set as the default gateway.

          I have two gateway groups, where each link is primary and the other secondary and vice versa.

          At the other end I configured the connection via DDNS.
