      I have a pfSense box with a strange routing issue I am trying to resolve.

      https://forum.netgate.com/topic/187115/can-access-gw-but-not-lan-over-ovpn

      When viewing the logs I see the following entries that reference an old Interface & Gateway that have been removed. "THISGW_VPNV4"

      Are these entries a problem and do they indicate some old settings that should no longer be present?

        Possibly it is still stated in a filter rule.

        Go to the command prompt and run

        cat /tmp/rules.debug | grep "THISGW_VPNV4"

        to find out, which rule.

            Yes, the error message says "The rule has not been added".

            Maybe you can find the culprit in the config file /cf/conf/config.xml.

              Thank you. Searched the config file and found a few rules that had the old GW specified that did not appear in the GUI. Updated and monitoring.
