The third VPN protocol supported by the current version of pfSense is OpenVPN. It is an excellent choice if you require a protocol that has cross-platform support, it is relatively secure, and is easy to configure. A relative newcomer (OpenVPN was initially released in 2001), it has been gaining in acceptance in recent years.
To begin OpenVPN configuration, navigate to VPN | OpenVPN. There are four tabs: Servers, Clients, Client-Specific Overrides, and Wizards. Note that whereas in IPsec, both ends of the tunnels can be configured as peers, OpenVPN tunnels always have one end defined as a client and the other as a server.
