      Hi,

      Is it possible to pass all the torrent traffic trough the OpenVPN connection automatically without specify a port or whatever? Does pfSense is enough intelligent to detect torrent traffic and enable the transfer of that traffic trough the VPN connection? If yes, how can i do that?

      Thanks

        Not that I know of, at least not in the way you're describing.

        But if you only torrent on specific computer(s), then you can assign them static IP's and write firewall rules to route all of their traffic through the VPN gateway.

          Can you not route specific port traffic through the VPN?

            Yeah sure, but in your OP you specified that you didn't want to route by specifying ports.

            Any firewall rule can be made to use a VPN gateway, you just select your VPN as the gateway in the advanced rule settings.
