      Hello everyone, thank you in advance for reading this post.  I have a issue with a supplier that requires a IPSEC tunnel with a local subnet different from my LAN as they have used it for another connection.  I use to put a VPN router in front of the WAN and have the VPN router do the tunnel, then it would communicate with the pfSense behind the router.  I am sure pfSense should be able to do this without extra piece of equipment.  I added another network card, and set the IP and subnet to the vendor specified, and non-overlapping with vendor.  Did not bridge the connection, and did not put in a gateway in the settings.  I then create the IPSEC tunnel with the new LAN subnet and it fails to connect.  It will only connect if the LAN interface subnet is used.  Is there a way around this?  The vendor cannot see my LAN subnet and should only see the secondary LAN subnet.  I tried bridging and adding the gateway and it does not connect.  Only connects if I use the LAN subnet.  Thank you.
