      I have a VPN that I currently connect to using the Shrew Soft client software.  It uses Mutual PSK + Xauth (username and password) for authentication.  Can I configure the pfSense in my office to connect to that VPN as a client?  I'm not seeing Mutual PSK + Xauth as an authentication option in the IPSec screens, nor place to enter the userid and password.

        There currently is not a way for pfSense to be a client on that style of VPN.

          Bummer. That would be a useful feature for me.
