Setup OpenVPN to redirect all traffic directly to WAN

[joaobarbi]

Hello everyone,

I use an OpenVPN server inside pfSense to enable home office workers to connect to the Azure DB. (The system limits access to the control panel based on WAN IPs, allowing only the enterprise's WAN IPs to connect.)

Now, instead of routing traffic through the enterprise network, I want to use the VPN to redirect traffic directly to the WAN, bypassing the enterprise's internal network, just to reduce bandwidth usage.

Is this possible?

Which path though the internal network does the traffic actually take now?

If you run an OpenVPN server on your firewall, routing all clients upstream traffic over it (for whatever reason..), the packets come in on the VPN interface and go out on WAN.
I cannot think of any shorter path.
