      Hello,

      I like to know how I can tell PFSense to try initiate VPN connection ? There is no dumb "start tunnel" button :)

      Thank you in advance

        configure the tunnel and click save.

        We do what we must, because we can.

          What does it mean ? When to other device initiate a connection I have a lot of (errors) logs entries

            Configure ipsec tunnel by this tutorial.
            http://pfsense.com/mirror.php?section=tutorials/mobile_ipsec/

            Everything worked just fine for me(i have two shops connected)!
            Tunnel is very stable(not like ovpn between same points for example).
