      so im try to do something o thought would be simple. I followed the guide on PIA site to add the openVPN client of the firewall and it works great over LAN. however i want to route all data on opt1 to bypass PIA VPN. so i set a rule in opt1 as follows
      Protocol IPv4
      source *
      port *
      destination *
      gateway WAN_DHCP

      aslo in NAT I added an outbound mapping
      interface WAN
      source 192.168.2.0/24
      source port *
      distention *
      NAT address  Wan address
      NAT port *
      –----
      here are my 2 internal interfaces
      LAN 192.168.1.0/24
      OPT1 192.168.2.0/24

      so with all that out the way the issues is if the VPN is off the traffic routs fine out OPT1. when i enable the VPN i cant get online over OPT1. LAN works fine but that interface is behind the VPN.

      Anything im doing wrong please let me know.

        I would keep the default gateway on opt1 by disabling firewall rule. Just the NAT rule is not enough info by itself. Move it to the top.

          this seems to have worked.

          thank you
