Changing VPN provider
-
I think I figure out the PLEX problem. My Plex rule created by the NAT port forwarding was located below my VPN rules on the WAN port. I moved it to the top of the WAN rules above the VPN rules and now remote plex works as does the client VPN.
I'm not clear on why I had to change this as it all worked with the old VPN client from Usenetserver below the VPN rules. My nextcloud port forward WAN rule is below the VPN rules and it still works.
EDIT: Plex remote access went down again. Don't know what the issue is with the VPN tunnel and why if goes down in a delayed fashion.

Is there a guide for PrivadoVPN and Pfsense ?
-
Privado never made one. You can plug in the settings in their supplied ovpn file into PfSense. If u need help send screen shots of your settings and I try to help you.

Thank you!
We got it to work!
Life is gooooder :)

@stevemosher Although I did also get it to work or Connect I should say, it never worked very well. on the end point I had to manually assign dns or no one could surf. Was no where near as good as the usenet vpn.

Something changed and now I don't get DNS if the VPN Client is turned on. Can you explain how you manually assigned DNS?

@NasKar I almost forgot about all this, I have since totally removed this from my PFsense because it never worked correctly. While having the VPN configured the same as USENET I would randomly lost ping ability to 8.8.8.8 among other issues. to answer y our question I would go to the Guest System or the comptuer that is connected to that VPN via wifi in my case. and just configure th e network and manually put in Dns. This does not work for me since i am on a domain and don't want to use public dns need to use my domain controllers.
so I have let this VPN go away till someone posts that its working as good as Usenet used to work. -
@NasKar We set DNS here in the General Setup tab to a public DNS server IP.
Privado and NordVPN are both OpenVPN clients used here. -
@stevemosher send me instructions on how to configure NORD if you have it ?

@Dudleydogg hi there. I just followed this doc.
