Don't waist you time on pfsense!  Just go straight to the OPNsense download link!

You'll be glad you did  8)

If the implementation is the same as pfSense and you are using Windows 10 I would use the native ipsec IKEv2 vpn client for windows.  I have this deployed on 80+ clients and it works flawlessly!

Thanks! I'm getting by with PPTP for right now but I want to turn that off as soon as possible!  I didn't realize windows 10 had native support for mobile IPsec so I will definitely check that out as soon as I get some free time and as Franco suggest, I'll post my logs if I still cant get it going.  I did manage to get the IPsec site to site working so I'm feeling a little better about being able to get the mobile stuff working now.

Thank you both for the help!

P.S. I'm and old time m0n0wall/t1n1wall user and I really love both of them but for some of my customers, I need something a little stronger and I really like OPNsense so far and refuse to use pfsense!

Regards, Roy...

Gave up on it for now. I did manage to get PPTP working after several hours of trial and mostly error.

I tried everything I can think of to get a basic mobile IPsec tunnel working on OPNsense 18.1.7_1-amd64 via Shrew Soft 2.2.2 client. I've been at this solid for two days now and so far no luck.

So if anyone is willing to help me get this going, please PM me as soon as possible.

Also, I willing to pay you for your time!

I believe I read a thread somewhere where that question was asked and the reply was it's a proprietary motherboard.

It has been running flawlessly now for several weeks.  Long term, only time will tell.

Having your AP on it's own port/network can make your LAN more secure if you add the correct block/pass rules to limit Wi-Fi traffic.  It also makes it easier to traffic shape Wi-Fi traffic.  One possible downside is your firewall will block broadcasts between your LAN and your Wi-Fi network.

I've had really good luck using the EnGenius ENH202 & ECB350 AP.  They both do POE but the ENH202 is  proprietary.  Also, I'm not a big fan of installing WiFi cards in a firewall.

Thank you!
