Can I setup the opnsense box as an IPsec vpn client?

[tigs]

I have been trying to play with IPsec server on an AWS. I have setup an IPsec server, and I am able to configure my desktop PC (win 10) or synology NAS to connect to it without any issues. However, I would like to connect my opnsense box to it so all local devices go through the same tunnel without having to configure them individually. I want my opnsense box work the same way as it does as an openVPN client. Can I accomplish this, configuring the opnsense as an Ipsec client?

I have the following info available and nothing more:
Server IP:
IPsec PSK:
Username:
Password:

Here is the link I followed to setup the IPsec server on a ubuntu server

Same here, no information in docs. Every doc assumes the box acts as a server.

There's more. When I try to create site-to-site tunnel, Authentication method options are Mutual PSK/Key/RSA, but my VPN provider is using IKEv2 EAP with username and password.

IPSEC is a point to point protocol, there is not really a server/client.  Note: It does support road warrior setups which would be the closest thing to the server/client style your looking for.   To answer your other question, yes you can send traffic over IPSEC.

EDITED to clarify.

opnsense is setup weird for this, but go to mobile clients section and enable, then add your phase 1 and 2 settings there

How, please? :)

More specifically, I have LAN iface. An external AP is connected by ethernet to LAN (with MYISP SSID, 192.x). And I have WLAN iface, internal PCIe Wifi card (with MYVPN SSID, 10.x).

I can use either SSID, works fine. Now I want all traffic from WLAN iface to go via IPSec via my VPN provider.

PS: I followed your advice and in Mobile Clients, on save, there was an error and "Create Phase1" button appeared like magic:

Support for IPsec Mobile clients is enabled but a Phase1 definition was not found.
Please click Create to define one.

This button created an entry in Tunnels with EAP-MSCHAPV2. But when I edit it, there is no Remote Gateway field anymore ... neither EAP login/passw. I'd really appreciate any hints.

Side note. Just made it working with OpenVPN client. Still would love solution for IKEv2 :)
