      well everything was working the package manger was just recently not showing up.. i wouldnt know i had a problem if i wasnt having issues with squid proxy and i uninstalled it but then found package manger wasnt working..
      as for the outbound the greyed out were stuff i was experimenting with... i only actually added 2 game consoles and nord

      as for policys routing i not sure... what you mean... and as for the instructions setup i posted it but here it is again
      https://nordvpn.com/tutorials/pfsense/pfsense-openvpn/

      and they set it manual mode not hybrid... like i have no issues everything works computers get internet game consoles too.. webservers work it was just recently that the package manger and the dnslookup etc wasnt working on the pfsense itself.. but everything else works no issues there..

      thanks for your input

          Their instructions are at least pretty clear. But even in their example the gateway is not the local tunnel IP.
          Something there seems broken.

          It could be the new default gateway options in 2.4 that are not happy with that.

          I too would not allow them to push a new default route. You can still policy route everything to the VPN if required.

            i do know i had no issues before i upgraded to the recent pfsense.. the one before this version i had no problems... like i mentioned even if i have messy stuff it is working

            steve you mentioned there exmaple is not the local tunnel ip what did you mean.. and do you think there setup instructions is broken something wrong as that was for the 2.4.3 and that worked fine for me before i upgraded to 2.4.4
            and how do i do this policy route..
            as what i want to stay routed i guess you can say is... game consoles just go to the wan.. and everything else goes through the vpn.. as if the game consoles go through the vpn then i get double nat'd
            if you have any pics be great i could enter it...
            should i ask nordvpn to check there instructions that it doesnt work right for 2.4.4?
            and you said the new default gateway options in 2.4 is that the 2.4.4 or the 2.4.3 pfsense.. and is there a fix for that..
            because everytime i reboot the pfsense a physical reboot there is no issues with the dnslookup ping package manger.. they all work but after time like you seen it stops.. like its stalled and flilter reload or a turn off openvpn client and turn back on doesnt fix it .. just a reboot system solves it

            thats why i figured maybe its corrupt.. norvpn told me its probably a the package manager they find it buggy at times.. so i dunno maybe its a small glitch in pfsense i dont know.. im no where expert in this program i just like it works better then my older asus routers..

            but i guess i can reinstall start over blank like the john guy said.

              Do not set your VPN provider as the default gateway in System > Routing. Set your WAN as default gateway.

              If you want your VPN provider to get all traffic, check Don't Pull Routes in the VPN Client configuration and POLICY ROUTE the traffic you want to go over the VPN on the interface rules for those devices.

              I would edit the default IPv4 gateway there at the bottom and set the PPPOE gateway there and save.

              That is completely wrong. Your default gateway should always be your WAN and never a VPN provider. If you want all traffic to go to the VPN provider with a route, they don't push a default route, they push 0.0.0.0/1 and 128.0.0.0/1 to you to prevent breaking your existing default gateway like this. (That's why it's called redirect-gateway def1).

                ok guess i can change.. i never altered settings
                how i set it up was
                install pfsense.. setup wan to ppoe and my login and password.. and then i followed the instructions for the nordvpn tutorial as you see above.. i never played with any other settings nore would i know anything about that..
                thats all i did
                install pfsense
                setup wan ppoe
                setup nordvpn via tutorial and boom done..
                and i didnt have the issue in 2.4.3 only noticed this issue after i upgraded to 2.4.4 and then i was having squid proxy cache errors show up internet explorer and google chrome which i had another forum going and they just said scrap squid proxy and thats when i was finding no more package manager and then the no more dnslook ups etc

                as for dont pull routes i already have that set was part of the tutorial too if i recall

                  so what else do i change since that didnt fix the issue still cant ping dnslookup or package manager.. or do i need to reboot and let it work again and see if it fails

                    You might still have states open using the old route. They will die eventually.
                    Check the routing table to make sure the new default route is there.

                    I'm convinced that 10.8.8.9 gateway is wrong though, and that's the root of the problem.

                    But moving away from a default route over the VPN will prevent that problem being an issue for the firewall.

                      and like i mentioned i figured there must be a check box or maybe its my isp?

                      my sister basiclly has exact same setup installed the pfsense.. set up her ppoe wan... setup the nordvpn via the tutorial and both hers and mine running 2.4.4 now and no issues on the package manager..just difference is 2 different computer styles as the pfsense ... and i didnt have squid proxy on hers... then i was thinking maybe from the squid left something buggering up mine? you know like windows even if you dont fully uninstall it leaves something then buggers up.. could that possibly happen... im just guessing now

                          so if the root of problem is the 10.8.8.9 i will do chat support with nordvpn to find out if that is correct or not

                            That routing table looks more sane. Did that correct the problem with packages?

                                  what isnt working right now is the package manger isnt showing the packages to install... cuz i was looking at the time when i uninstalled squid proxy and checked package manager... and i wanted temperature sensors motherboard monitor to see cpu .. but it cant read my motherboard and its a new motherboard and cpu.. but no biggy if i cant get temperature ..

                                  so always set the default gateway to wan in the system/route.. see i never knew that because it wasnt part of the nord tutorial

                                  but least this is showing potential so when it was set to automatic what was it doing bouncing back and forth wan and vpn

                                    Try running these:

                                    pkg-static clean -ya
                                    pkg-static install -yf pkg
                                    pkg-static install -yf pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade

                                    Those should be safe from Diagnostics > Command Prompt but I would run them from the shell (Menu option 8, type exit when done.)

                                        OK so another package management process was already running at the time. Try it again?
