Client's public IP = 12.34.56.78
pfSense's LAN IP = 10.0.0.1

As I said, I've found several topics that reports issues with VPN and
this NIC: my message aimed to report the issue and to check for existing
solution (tweaks, beta client, etc.).

> Do you have try a another vpn client ? (like SoftEther VPN ?)
Didn't know about that client but it seems it only speaks IPSec with a
SoftEther VPN Server (I can't see any "IPSec" setting in the client GUI).
Do you know any other IPSec Windows client I could try?

Thanks
