      When I got started a with pfsense, about a year ago, I used a great tutorial that explains step-by-step how to get pfsense to route all traffic to PIA.
      Link: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=76015.0

      After I got that setup I wanted to route only specific devices on my network through the VPN and the rest to my regular ISP.  That part was more difficult and took many posts and some PMs with helpful members to get everything working. By the time it was completed I did not know exactly how I got everything working… many settings had been done-undone-redone, etc.

      Would anyone out there, who can do this stuff with their eyes closed, be willing to write a step-by-step tutorial 'extension' on how to route devices on the network around the VPN and through one's local ISP?

      Thanks! I know this would be appreciated by many pfsense users both current and future.
