I would use OpenVPN unless you need IPSec for any specific reason.  I have
read a few posts to this list where others are having trouble with IPSec
VPNs in the current and some past releases (pfsense).

These two VPN services are more then adequate to achieve what you would
like to do.

The concept is:

Site A has a OpenVPN server setup.
-This server has a rule (definable in the web interface) that says it has
access to and therefore can route,vand will route, traffic addressed to
Site B.

Site B has a OpenVPN client setup that connects to Site A.
-This client has a rule (definable in the web interface) that says that it
has access to and therefore can route, and will route, traffic addressed to
Site A.

I suggest that both networks use different subnets and that you use the TUN
method in OpenVPN.

TUN transports layer 3.

TAP transports layer 2.

Another choice you have to make is UDP vs TCP.  You can get some guidance
here:
https://www.bestvpn.com/blog/7359/openvpn-tcp-vs-udp-difference-choose/

If you use UDP, you should make sure to setup a tls-auth key (really fo TCP
too) as OpenVPN will drop any UDP packets without that authentication
method.

Good Luck.

It is fairly basic but I am sure you will have to play with the
configuration on both sides to figure it out.  I think pfSense has a wizard
that will help you too.  Here is a guide also:
