This video is a grand slam home run. I've learned so much about firewall rules, routing etc. from watching your excellent videos. Learning the power of aliases in rules was the biggest single game changer for me. Because of your videos not only have I got stuff working robustly, but I actually understand *why* it works with a lot of cool knowledge tidbits along the way. Tagging the packets and setting a floating rule was a truly elegant hack that I will be putting in my back pocket for future use.

FYI another use of a floating rule is using redundant VPN tunnels. If a TCP session fails over to a different tunnel, the firewall will block that outgoing traffic because it didn’t see the handshake. Doing an outbound floating rule with quick match and allowing all TCP flags will allow that session to stay alive

I followed this video and together with the Netgate Documentation I got a very similar setup on ProtonVPN with WireGuard. This was invaluable. A wireguard video would be really nice for lots of folks. It is so fast and easy once the setup has been done. I did take the opposite approach and set the VPN to the default gateway and then my Firewall aliases are the list of clients that I do not want routing over the VPN but that is so that they are not broken. For instance my ISP installed a TV box for some of their bundled service that they call Rogers Ignite. The box gets blocked by Rogers if not coming from your native WAN connection. I know the video is old but it is still relevant.

Great video!! I did originally have problems making pfblocker and vpnservice work together, but think i've got that working, along with your genius with the tagging! Very clever, love it. Had to make a few adjustments to make sure no dnsleaks with pfblocker. Originally made my own VPN gateway with linux firewall rules (a lot of rules and scripts and crontab), but was always a little dubious, even though no dnsleaks etc. Really love the level of detail you go into, many thanks :)

@@Skylinar Hello. After passing my LFCS, i ended up overhauling my networking setup, to exclusively use Linux for networking/firewall, so my pfsense is no more. I think my original setup resolved locally, but i cant remember the name of it now, and if i remember right, i had issues when I wanted different routes to have different DNS, so I will guess that i changed the pfblockers DNS resolver in some way, to use the VPN provider for the web downstream rather than local/isp, otherwise it would have been leaks galore. Wish i could remember, or documented what i did, sorry

The video is good thanks. Something to be added to this is if you use more than 1 VPN connection (with all of them having the same rule based killswitches), you might want to make each of those VPN gateways (System / Routing / Gateways) to have also the "Disable Gateway Monitoring Action" checkbox ON. I believe I had issues from pfsense probably trying to route one VPN connection to another VPN connection, and to my understanding that happens when pfSense gateway monitoring notices the gateway is not working, so pfSense tries to find different gateway - and that checkbox ticked it should be prevented to do so. The video works fine with just 1 VPN connection because there is only one another gateway that is WAN. For more connections than just 1 WAN and 1 VPN, you probably need to make more settings, as the killswitch example works only for traffic trying to escape from VPN to WAN, and I believe that gateway monitoring action disabling should help there. It would be nice if this could be confirmed true by someone.

Great video! One question out of curiosity, since the only NAT outbound rules you created mapped LAN2 to the VPN interface, if the VPN interface goes down, doesn't that mean no traffic will be able to reach WAN, essentially creating a killswitch without the need for creating that tagging rule? I've done this method for a kill switch (Only creating a NAT Outbound rule to the VPN Interface) in the past and am wondering if I'm missing something. Thanks!

Have you used 2 VPN connections in same network 16:20 so that while the floating rule in WAN blocks the WAN connections, the pfsense can inadvertently start routing through the other VPN connection when the first VPN happens to go offline? Basically, do just like you do in this video, but instead of having just one VPN connection, have two VPN connections, lets say France and Brazil, and have several computers. Some use the France and some use the Brazil connection. If the computer configured to France VPN loses its connection, then pfsense might try to start routing that France VPN connection to Brazil VPN, the floating rule on WAN side doesn't prevent the switching from one VPN connection to another VPN connection?

Hi Tom, thanks for this and your other videos.I have one issue though with rule based routing which i am unable to solve, so i really hope you (or somebody else) knows the trick. It is with ovpn site-to-site tunnels. I have 1 ovpn server, and multiple ovpn clients (sites) connecting to me. For the tunnels to work on the server side, I have a 'client specific override' for each client/site. So far so good, tunnel works perfectly. On the server side, for some devices i want to do rule based routing, so that the device goes to the internet, at a sites location. But since I am the ovpn server/host, I have only 1 interface & gateway for all sites/tunnels. How on earth can I instruct pfSense to route specific traffic to a dedicated site/tunnel? Tried so many different things, but none of them worked. On the client side, this issue does not exist, because each client has a gateway for his own tunnel to me. I really hope anybody knows how to do this. Thx.

Can't this be set up to just block all traffic from a particular subnet if the VPN interface goes down, without tagging packets? I'm struggling with this problem because I've managed to set it up where, if my VPN interface goes down, it'll stop my subnet going out over the WAN (by enabling the option in System > Advanced > Miscellanious > "Skip rules when gateway is down"), but when the VPN comes back on, none of my traffic starts flowing again? Do I just need to turn on that service monitor?

Got VPN up and Online using AirVPN. When I start to route IP's out over it, maybe after a few hours or so, the VPN gateway goes down (latency?) then that seems to cause my default WAN to fail. I then have to reboot router and it will fail again within random times. I am not sure why....it seems if I don't route any devices, it seems to stay online. Do I have to add any firewall rules to the OpenVPN or the VPN Interface I created so this doesn't happen? Any thoughts?

Hi! I have a question about the Virtual IP of PIA interface. For the purpose of the video the IP is a private IP, but on a real case it should be a public IP? Otherwise I don't understand how a private IP can go outside to network to the remote PIA VPN server. I hope I have explained my doubt clearly. Thanks for the video!

That is the tunnel IP for OpenVPN assigned to pfsense.

Hi, great video. I'm new to this and your videos are extremely help full. I was wondering... is there any way to chain VPN's using pfsense. Example Linux --> ISP-->VPN1-->VPN2-->Online server

possibly depending on how you set things up. You can do lot's of overly complicated things with pfsense, not that they are all good ideas, but you can do them.

I've tried to install Express VPN to pfsense many times in different ways, also official guide on Express VPN website, but no success. Would be great if you make a video about this installation. Thank you

This video is INCREDIBLE. I've been fighting with this all day, and the floating rule works GREAT for a simple and reliable kill switch. Thanks a ton for posting this! A couple of tips I'd like to add: * You WILL have a DNS leak if you stop here, which is my one criticism of this video. The router configuration is fine, but you HAVE to prevent DNS leaks by manually setting your DNS settings on the machine you're connecting to the router. In my experience this tends to be true of any OpenvVPN-on-a-router setup, but it's something that often gets overlooked in setup guides. Manually set your DNS in Windows/Linux/Mac etc. and you should be good. * In my case, my "hosts" are actually a series of Docker containers that are assigned their own IP addresses on a macvlan Docker network. These can be secured against DNS leaks as well by setting "--dns [your vpn's DNS IP]" in your "docker run" command. I struggled to learn this tip, so I hope it helps someone else. * If you're translating this to OPNsense like I am, a few options have been renamed but can be matched up by context clues. For setting tags, the first field assigns tags to packets and the second watches for tags that match what you put there. OPNsense is a little more vague in how they label these unless you turn on the "Full Help" toggle and see descriptions. * OPNsense Watchdog settings have been renamed to "Monit"

Has anyone got port forwarding to work? I know when you use the PIA app they have port forwarding.

Would be nice if a video like this could be made for Unifi Dream Machine lineup, if it even supports policy based routing with a VPN Client. Not sure it does, but would be nice if it did.
