      Hello,
      I have this scenario and I am asking for suggestions on which approach to take.

      1. IOT devices located on LANs which connect to the internet via Mobile gateways which do not have a public static IP (shared public ISP IP)
      2. Roadwarriors that have to access these IOT devices via mobile (IOS/ANDROID + PC)
      3. VPN direct to devices is not possibile due to the shared public static IP
      4. Each roadwarrior has to access his own IOT device/LAN

      Idea: one central Pfsense server with a static public IP with a VPN server enabled.
      Each IOT gateway connects via VPN to PFSENSE; each roadwarrior connects to PFSense and is L2 bridged to his own private LAN where the IOT device is connected.

      Notes: the LANS on which the IOT devices reside might have overlapping IP ranges (i.e. they could be all 192.168.0.0/24) since I have no control on that, so I have to work at L2 looping between VPN connections.

      Any suggestion on which VPN software to use and which configuration ?

      Thanks all for ideas
