      Dear Forum,

      We have the following IKEv2 configurations:

      Left: pfSense with Dual WAN configured behind 2 'slower' VDSL connections. Standard load balancing + 2 failover gateway groups ->  double the speed for internet access. IPSEC -> Phase 1 -> Interface was set the load balancing gateway group. The tunnel has 4 Phase II SAs

      Right: pfSense with Single WAN - at co-location - with a very fast internet connection. For IPSEC -> Phase 1 -> Interface, we have just set it WAN. We have created two identical IPSec tunnels from here. One to left-wan1-ip and the other to left-wan2-ip.

      Problem. Only the tunnel from right to left-wan1-ip works, the second does not come up. How can we make the work for both to have double tunnel speed? Or is this not possible? Thanks for any help.

      Alfredo.

            You can't do that, only the first matching will come up.

              So there is no way to bundle both WAN1 + WAN2 together to make an IPsec tunnel faster?

              Thanks

              Alfredo

                Short answer: no.

                Long answer: no, you can't with IPsec, but I guess you could set up two independent OpenVPN tunnels for example, and use some routing magic to split up the traffic among them

                If it ain't broke, you haven't tampered enough with it

                    Hi,

                    Alternative you Need two ip addresses at colocation, setup transport IPSec connections and gre Tunnels over it.

                    Sorry for spellings Tablet with wrong keyboard

                    Best regards
