OVPN NordVPN setup not working after 22.05 upgrade
-
Hey there everyone! Has anyone had an issue with routing traffic through a OpenVPN NordVPN connection on pfSense + after upgrading to 22.05-RELEASE? Mine just doesn't seem to route traffic at all. NordVPN Interface is up and connected but it just doesn't route anything over the Nord Gateway.
A little more on my setup, I tag all traffic that are members of an Alias (IP Group) with NO_WAN_EGRESS and set a floating rule to BLOCK this traffic so it can never attempt to leave the default gateway (for instance if the VPN goes down). Worked great for years prior to the upgrade, not sure why it isn't routing now. Any Ideas?

@dsimmons1977 DCO on?

@bob-dig No Sir. DCO doesn't seem to be supported by Nord at this time. If I do turn it on, it doesn't even connect.

I finally figured this out. I had to manually re-create an Outbound NAT rule for the NordVPN interface. Once I did that, everything started routing as expected. Very strange that an update caused the previous config to bomb. Either way, It is working now and I hope this helps somebody else out! Below is what I added:
