Here’s a list of providers known to work with pfSense (officially or unofficially). But as it turns out that the files you need to make an OpenVPN client connection in Linux are the same ones you would need to set that up on pfSense as well. These are typically providers that support Linux and they make the necessary configuration files available for a Linux configuration. Other VPN providers don’t officially support pfSense, but still put the configuration files that you need to set up a client connection on pfSense at your disposal. When a VPN provider officially supports pfSense, it’s quite easy to find all of the files you need to set it up on pfSense. Not all commercial VPN providers support pfSense – though a great many do. This guide assumes that you’ve installed pfSense and that you have a standard configuration with at least one LAN interface and one WAN interface.

In this post, we’re going to look at how to set up an OpenVPN client connection to a commercial VPN provider in pfSense. Connect to the VPN without using a dedicated VPN application.Connect devices that do not natively support VPN connections, such as gaming consoles and smart TVs.

Connect as many devices as you want to the VPN and bypass and hard limits to simultaneous connections your provider may enforce.

Then you can configure pfSense to route all of the traffic of all of the connected devices (PCs, tablets, smartphones) through the VPN connection. One of the many cool things you can do with pfSense is to configure a client connection to an OpenVPN provider. It’s also got an easy-to-use web-based interface through which you can configure every aspect of your router/firewall. pfSense offers more power, control, and security than most commercial routers you can buy, and has the benefit of frequent OS updates. You can install pfSense on older (or newer) hardware, as long as the system has two network cards (WAN & LAN), and use pfSense as your router. PfSense is an open-source firewall, based on FreeBSD, that also acts as a router.
