      Hi.
      Go to System -> Advanced -> Miscellaneous
      Scroll down to: Gateway Monitoring
      Make sure it look like this.

        so for the gate monitoring yes my 2 are also unchecked

        as for the Floating its working now.. i had disabled them then just re typed them up and the float
        and it worked... also found i had to add a
        another No WAN Egress for the LAN.NET when a VPN isnt enabled when i was testing it by turning it off
        so this is working now.. doesnt help my dislexia i read like TAG as TAGGED so thats all working... i dont dare ask about how do i route the USA VPN to the USA one in the Rules and the CANADA VPN to the CAnada one.. instead of both going to the first rule... as i dont wanna frustrate you more with my questions..

        i played with it i didnt wanna annoy you more with questions i stepped away from it a bit then re looked at it fresh eyes for setting that floating etc

        so this is working now in this order... i wont trouble you with my other question i jsut mentioned because i dont want you mad at me... but here is a pic of rules its working so i not going to touch it... it works when i shut off the vpn or if it goes down
        i appreciate your patience with me

          If you don't want traffic from 192.168.0.11 to go out WAN at all, why are you policy routing it out WAN?

          DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

            if your talking about from the picture above the 2nd from the bottom
            i dont... but if i dont put that rule in there... and i turn off both VPN's
            the rules skip the 2 rules below Game Consoles and goes straight to the last Line..

            so i put rule just above it... and its TAG No WAN EGRESS so it blocks using WAN

                  @Derelict
                  I have 1 more question if you might know..
                  the no_wan_egreess works as long as my vpn I don't check the box "Don't Pass Routes"
                  if I enable it... The IP Address I have Tag NO WAN EGRESS is automatically blocked yet should be using the VPN

                  but I notice I need to check Don't Pass Routes to get my XBOX to work bypass VPN

                  do you know how to get get the rule to work for the VPN and TAG No Wan Egress when you check "Don't Pass Routes"

                  and should I be using that check box or not... whats the difference I tried googling info but I didn't find info
                  if you have a link that explains the 2 be good too

                  but I figured I ask you about that since your very smart at this stuff

                    so having the check mark Dont Pass Routes... still leaks dns yet i dont see it...

                    i get email from my isp i done suspicious things but i didnt
                    i run www.dnsleaktest.com on the 192.168.0.11 and it shows 1 server my NordVPN
                    yet it must be leaking

                    is there another program that runs on windows that securly checks this stuff?
                    as this No Wan Egress isnt working
                    least it seems to work only when "DO Not Pull Routes" is not Checked.
                    when its checked it seems to leak or not work right

                    is there a way to test this and i read some articles you want Do Not Pull Routes other times you do .. how do you know when

                      I'm not sure that people appreciate how complicated what you are trying to do is.

                        sorry then ill figure out myself

                        didnt think it was complicated for you guys just for me
                        cuz i guess it works fine if Do not pull routes... yet XBOX doesnt work for OPen Nat
                        and when i do check off pull routes No WAN Gress does not kick in instantly like it does when "do not pull routes " is not checked... and Xbox Works Open Nat

                        very sorry for troubling you guys then.. i wont ask again

                        have a good weekend

                          It's not complicated for me. It would just take me three hours I don't have to explain it to you.

                          You need to understand:

                          • Policy routing and what it is and is not
                          • The routing table and what it is and is not
                          • What Don't pull routes actually does with your chosen VPN provider
                          • How DNS actually works
                          • How connections originating from the firewall itself apply in all of the above
                          • How tagging and matching tagged in pf works
