The lightest-weight option would be gif(4) tunnels.  These are fully supported 
in pfSense, but very poorly documented.  Second-lightest would be gre(4) 
tunnels… with the identical caveats.  The FreeBSD manpages are your best guide 
for setting up either one.  It’s also possible to configure OpenVPN with a null 
cipher, although I don’t recall if the pfSense UI permits that.

Subject: Re: [pfSense] Redirecting connections to a second site with NAT

 

It certainly doesn't appear that pfSense will rewrite the source address itself.
And if it did, I'd imagine that to the webserver, everything would appear to be 
coming from that one address.
Would it be feasible for me to set up a site-to-site VPN, and NAT the traffic 
onto that, rather than over the open internet?
I don't think I would really need the encryption, just the encapsulation. Is 
there a lighter weight way of encapsulating the packets than using IPSEC or 
OpenVPN? Would that idea even be likely to work?
