We use pfsense as a router/firewall. Because we're based in China, it is useful for us to have VPN access for all our internal clients. Instead of each individual client connecting to a VPN server stateside, I'd like to configure pfsense as a VPN client and have all the network traffic be routed through it.
Most of the posts I've seen regarding pfsense and VPN are concerning connecting to the LAN from outside; this is not what I want to do.
Another option would be for an SSH tunnel to be initiated on the pfsense box with the LAN traffic routed through it.
How do I configure pfsense to be able to do either of these? One huge caveat is that OpenVPN cannot be used. The solution I am looking for needs to use one of the other VPN protocols.
You configure openvpn client in pfsense. Its under VPN->OPENVPN->Client.
The link below has an excellent walkthrough for it:
