      I could really use some help here.
      I'm trying to set up a persistent connection through a pfsense box using these configurations for NordVPN: https://nordvpn.com/tutorials/pfsense/pfsense-openvpn/

      This is my configuration: http://imgur.com/a/s8zdw

      From what I can tell, the actual connection is established but not traffic is being routed through the vpn. The only thing that is slightly different in my config is this is a second router with the desire that everything connected to this router is on a permanent vpn, and no non-vpn traffic is released.

      Any help would be much appreciated. Been futzing with this for a week with no success.

              I was having the same difficulties trying to get pfSense working with NordVPN; the NordVPN guide is not that helpful!

              After a lot of searching i found a video on you tube by a guy called VMNerd.  This guy has produced an outstanding tutorial (based on the PIA VPN service) that helped me setup my system perfectly; you just need to download the certificates and get the DNS Server IPs from the NordVPN website:
