This includes, for example, if you have taken an entire /16, EG 10.1.0.0/16 as your LAN. The network range you put here must be completely off the LAN network that’s on your firewall. (IE: Anything on the LAN side of the firewall). “Virtual Address Pool”: Check “Provide a virtual IP address to clients”.įor “Network configuration for Virtual Address Pool”: Getting this wrong means your clients will not be able to see any inside network resources.“IKE Extensions”: Check “Enable IPsec Mobile Client Support”.Navigate to VPN > IPsec, Mobile Clients tab on pfSense.SECTION B: Set up Mobile IPsec for IKEv2+EAP-MSCHAPv2 Add more Alternative Names as needed for additional hostnames or IP addresses on the firewall that clients may use to connect.Enter the WAN IP address of the firewall in the Value field.Select “IP address” in the Type drop-down.Click “Add” to add a 2nd new Alternative Name.Enter the same value you just used in Common Name.Select “FQDN or Hostname” in the Type drop-down.Click “Add” to add a new Alternative Name.If clients will connect by IP address, place the WAN IP address here. “Common Name”: The hostname of this PFSense firewall as it exists in DNS.The below steps should cover all 3 scenarios.

Lifetime: 3650 days (whatever you want but unless you want to keep having to re-issue this, just make it 10 years).įill in the rest of the fields as desired with company or site-specific information. Method: ‘Create an internal Certificate Authority’. Name is accordingly, no spaces or punctuation. “Descriptive Name”: This will be the name of the certificate you give to people.
