      Hi, in the next days I'll,build up my Pfsense system.But I still got a question: Is it possivle to route a VPN connection over NIC1 and the 'raw' internet over NIC2? The idea behind that is, that I want to connect my XBOXOne to my Pfsense router but I rly don't want to get the traffic over a VPN connection.The VPN connection should be only on my WLANAP on NIC1.

      Network:
      Coax->Modem->Pfsense Router->WANIC,NIC1,NIC2 (so I got 3 Networkcards)
      NIC1->VPN->WLANAP->Laptop,iPad,iPhone,…
      NIC2-> XBOX,maybe PC later with Switch?

      Thanks and regards

      Daniel
