      LAN 10.26.1.0/24
      WLAN 10.26.2.0/24

      LAN firewall rule 2 : allow IP aliases through PIA gateway.
      LAN firewall rule 1: allow anything to anything.

      If a client uses PIA gateway, I can ping LAN 10.26.1.0/24 but I cannot ping WLAN 10.26.2.0/24 ?
      If a client uses default gateway I can ping both LAN and WLAN.

      I have set route-nopull; in OpenVPN client custom options.

      How can I allow clients what use the PIA gateway access WLAN 10.26.2.0/24 subnet?

        Rules are evaluated top down, first rule to fire wins,  no other rules are evaluated.

        Your say rule 1 is any any.. Well if that was the case and rule 1 was on top then rule 2 would never be seen.

        For lan and wlan to talk to each other you need to allow this traffic before you shove traffic down your pia gateway - your pia gateway doesn't have a clue to how to get to your wlan ;)

        top rule allow what you want between wan and wlan, could be any any with source of lan and dest of wlan

        Then next rule would be shove it out the pia gateway for what you want to go down that way.
