      Hi,

      I would like to secure my WLAN with IPsec, My setup:
      pfSense is directly connected to the Internet, it has 2 subnets LAN: 192.168.1.0/24 and DMZ: 192.168.2.0/24.
      On LAN I have a Linksys WRT45G connected as an Access Point (all firewall/DHCP etc disabled), I have WEP disabled (I don't see the point of having WEP while cracking it is so easy, and WAP sucks with linux), I only have MAC filtering ATM, I would like to use IPsec to be on the safe side, but I'm very Newbie at VPN tunneling etc…
      I have looked at http://edain.de/wlan_protection.html This tuto covers having a tunnel for each PC but not in general, isn't there a way to have a General tunnel for all Wifi connected devices that knows that Pre-shared key?? if not then how to do it for each client in pfSense, same as that tuto or is there a better way??

      Thanks

        I suggest using WPA for your WLAN Clients. It's aes encrypted (like a vpn) and most wireless cards do the encryption in hardware so they won't require cpupower to get throughput.
