At the host site I have 2 WAN connections connected to a Pfsense firewall. Is it possible to configure the client such that it will try to connect to WAN1 and if that fails it automatically tries WAN2?

Hi,
Sure, you can add multiple server addresses in the "Remote Server Address" for your connection. By default these will be tried in the order they are listed (so the first address will be tried, and if that fails to connect the second address will be tried, etc.). So in this case you'll want to add your WAN1 address first, and then the WAN2 address second.
You can also use the "remote-random" command to instead have Viscosity randomly select which server to use each time (to load balance between servers).
