      That's exactly how I setup my 1 device to test the rule but when I do this, I don't get any internet connection on my single device. That's the issue.

        I understand your problem.
        NORDVPN - OPENVPN ?

              It wasn't checked. I checked it and tested the device by enabling the rule, No Internet on that device.

                          The reason was, It kinda acts as a kill switch. If the VPN goes down, no devices will be able to connect to the internet.

                          But my 5 devices aren't on VPN, so they should still be connected. What do I need to add/change here?

                            Add a nat outbound rule for the 192.168.1.0/24 on the wan interface as I showed in the picture
                            and 5 devices will be able to access the Internet via wan
                            Do not delete anything

                              Tada!

                              @Konstanti - Thank you so much. That worked. I think I get now what you were saying earlier (no nat rule for wan), makes sense now that I get it. Lol.

                              Appreciate it.

                              So now, for each device I want to connect to WAN, I'll have to manually add the entry in the Firewalls - Rules? Any way I can combine all 5 of them in 1?

                                It is possible to allocate them in a separate subnet ( as I have done)
                                or create an alias firewall / alias ( write there all 5 ip)
                                and then use the alias in the rule as a source.
                                Then the rule will be one
