      Hello

      On a fresh install with a DHCP WAN and a openvpn client, all the traffic from the router will go through the vpn and not wan. is there any way to change this behaviour?

        Yeah don't pull routes from your vpn service and just policy route the traffic you want to go through the vpn.
