      Yes, 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
