OpenVPN works very well for site-to-site VPNs. However, until the pfSense 2.x 
version is out, there isn't any filtering capabilities on those links. If you 
need to do filtering between locations, you'll want to stick with IPSEC for 
now.

Use OpenVPN and push some routes out to your users.

I have a similar situation it sounds like to Paul. 



Specifically, I would like to setup pfSense to allow access to a 10.10.10.1 
network to access other computers there. But I also need to allow the VPN users 
access to another subnet that hosts the telephone system (10.10.200.1). 



How can this be done? If so, how does one do this?

I'm in the process of transitioning the subnet of my datacenter, I only have a 
dozen or so servers. Everything is currently on a nonstandard subnet 
(192.0.1.0/24) due to a previous network admin. 





I want to move everything to 10.97.0.0/24, but I have alot of VPN's that 
terminate into the datacenter on my pfsense firewall. I know you can't route 
VPN's, if I use a second interface on my pfsense box can I bridge those two 
subnets? Can someone give me a quick example? 





If that's not possible, should I just create a second VPN for each site that 
points to the other subnet? Since both subnets will have a port on the pfsense 
box I should be able to point an ipsec VPN at either one, right? 





thanks,
