      Want to use Nord/PIA/Express VPN for outbound traffic from certain Lans.

      I have created several lans that do not talk to each other but I want a few of them use a VPN service for outbound traffic rather than my wan.

      How do I set this up, what are the key steps after setting up a CA ?

      Help much appreciated, thanks.

        They all have tutorials for the basic setup with pfSense. So is that working for you?

          You are correct, but I cannot blindly follow something like this:

          https://support.nordvpn.com/Connectivity/Router/1626958942/pfSense-2-5-Setup-with-NordVPN.htm

          As mentioned I have several lans that dont talk to each other and I want them to reach out to the internet using something like nord.

          Which is why I ask what steps are necessary to connect/ apply outbound rule on a specific lan through nord ?

            @srytryagn Just point the the traffic out the Nord gateway:-

            I have 3 different Nord connections and set up a gateway group.

            Just remember to set don't pull routes, otherwise Nord would become the default gateway.

              And also an interface called nord, which is not needed for all of this. 😉

              Here are some of my rules (for a p2p machine):

                @bob-dig i have a separate vlan / network that everything routes out the nord gateway called nord, it could have actually called anything.

                  Yes, important to realise that in that example 'NORD' is an internal interface and clients on that have their traffic policy routed via the 'NORD' gateway group.
                  It's that policy routing that determines where the traffic is sent and nothing to do with outbound NAT rules. Though OBN rules are still required.
