Description
It would be useful to let pfSense act as a VPN client itself and let it share a mobile style VPN connection to a remote server.
This would require multiple changes to IPsec and interfaces:
- IPsec P1 would need a way to configure IKEv2 authentication (e.g. EAP type, user/pass, etc.)
- IPsec configuration would need a way to pull a dynamic address and other settings from the server (e.g. "vips" config in strongSwan, along with other settings like DNS, gateway and so on)
- It's not clear if this would work with enc0 or would need a dedicated interface like VTI
- Would need a way to assign that interface in the UI so it could be used for typical interface things, if possible
- Not clear if it would suffer the same limits for NAT that currently exist, which complicates things further.
