16.7 Legacy Series / Re: Routing internet traffic through a site-to-site IPsec tunnel

You need a long hard look at your firewall rules, routes, gateways etc. Something in there somewhere is passing all traffic down the IPSEC connection. No easy answer without seeing more.
A normal connection will only route traffic for the far end network.
You have obviously added some rules somewhere - from the looks of the pfsense documentation for which you pasted a link I noticed this :
"Remote Network 0.0.0.0/0 This tells pfSense to route everything over this interface."
But you don't want ALL traffic to go over the interface, only some, or everything BUT your local traffic. So every time that the link comes up, all traffic goes down.
I think that is where your issue lies. How you solve it is another question beyond my pay grade :-)
