Title: Convert pfSense IPsec connections to OPNsense IPsec connections?
Post by: smccloud on August 26, 2025, 12:33:06 AM
I am converting from pfSense ot OPNsense.  Everything is going well (other than the whole VLAN naming difference I had to work through).  Up until it comes to my IPsec connections.  How do I convert my pfSense IPsec connections to OPNsense IPsec connections?  I have 4 to bring in, but the one to the datacenter for work is the most important.  Trying to import just the IPsec configuration section does not work, since it uses the old style IPsec configuration that was deprecated in the newest OPNsense.

Start with reading the IPSec section in the OPNsense docs (https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/vpnet.html#ipsec).
Also check out the new IPSec connections examples (https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/vpnet.html#new-23-1-vpn-ipsec-connections).
