3. Enter a name for your server and select its type as PPTP or L2TP/IPsec (depending on which protocol you want to use).
4. Fill out the rest of the fields with the appropriate information for your server (e.g., IP address, username, password, etc.).
5. Click Save at the bottom of the page when you’re finished.
6. Now click on the Clients tab in the left-hand menu and select Add/Edit Client.
7. Enter a name for your client and select which server you want it to connect to from the drop-down menu.

If you’re using PPTP, make sure to check MS-CHAP v2 under Auth Type.client’s information (e..g IP addressusernamepassword)If you’re using PPTPmake sure to checkMS-CHAP v2under Auth TypeClick Savewhen you’re finishto addthe new client

Congratulations! You have now successfully configured pfSense as a VPN server and client!

If you’re looking for a VPN solution, pfSense® software offers several options: IPsec, OpenVPN, WireGuard, and L2TP. Each type of VPN has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it’s important to choose the right one for your needs.

IPsec is a popular choice for VPNs because it’s fast and relatively easy to set up. However, it’s not as secure as some of the other options, and it can be tricky to troubleshoot if something goes wrong.

OpenVPN is a more secure option than IPsec, but it can be slower and more resource-intensive. WireGuard is a newer option that’s becoming increasingly popular because it’s fast, secure, and easy to use.

L2TP is another option, but it’s not as popular as the others because it can be slower and less secure.

Ultimately, the best VPN for you will depend on your needs. If security is your top priority, go with OpenVPN. If speed is more important, WireGuard might be the better choice. And if you need something that’s easy to set up and troubleshoot, IPsec might be the way to go.

Yes, you can use a dynamic DNS as a VPN. Dynamic allocation of WAN IP addresses necessitates using the Dynamic DNS (DDNS) facility so that VPN Clients can connect to the VPN server by looking up a Fully Qualified Domain Name address, rather than nominating the traditional fixed IP address.

Google Cloud offers a number of tools and services that can be used to create and manage a VPN. However, there are some considerations that need to be taken into account when using Google Cloud as a VPN provider.

First, it is important to ensure that the network settings in your Google Cloud console are configured correctly. This includes setting up the correct IP ranges for your VPN and ensuring that the subnetworks are properly overlap. Additionally, you will need to make sure that your firewall rules allow traffic from the IP range of your VPN client (which will likely be different than your internal network).

Once your network is properly configured, you can then begin setting up a VPN server on Google Cloud. There are a number of options available, but we recommend using either OpenVPN or PPTP. Once you have chosen your server software, follow the instructions provided by Google Cloud to properly configure it.

Once your server is up and running, you will then need to configure your client software to connect to it. Again, we recommend using either OpenVPN or PPTP. Follow the instructions provided by your chosen client software to connect to your new Google Cloud VPN server. After connecting, you should now have full access to all of the resources on your Google Cloud account!

Now that your virtual router is ready and others can connect, go to your VPN application and make sure the protocol is set to OpenVPN. This will activate the TAP Windows Adapter. Once you connect to your choice of server via your VPN, your computer will become a VPN-enabled virtual router.
