Dear pfSense mailing list,

In the next few weeks i'll have a microwave link setup between a main office and sub office. I have a pfSense box in the main office. The microwave link will be presented as Ethernet essentially the same as patch lead, ie no routing, NAT. To serve the sub office I could create a new VLAN interface on pfSense, create a new VLAN on my switch and plug the microwave link in. but...

Questions:

1. (broad question... beat me up if like..) Are microwave links "hackable" and therefore I should consider some type of encryption on that link

2. If I had a 2nd pfSense box in the sub-office, does pfSense have a way to encrypt/secure the data travelling over the microwave link. I'm thinking something like a VPN - but not sure how to go about this when I'm essentially trying to secure a patch lead.


Many thanks for any replies, advice or links to further reading and a massive THANKYOU! to the dev's for pfSense

Kind regards
Paul
