      So my issue is weird and only happens on windows.

      I connect to the vpn as vpn.mywebsite.com (98.xx.xx.56)

      Once Im connected I get an internal network address of 192.168.11.2 Default gateway of 192.168.11.1

      I try to access my webproxy thats running on PFsense at proxy.mywebsite.com (98.xx.xx.56)

      The way it should work is:

      192.168.11.1
      DNS lookup in PFSENSE and notice its the WAN Address and connect to itself w/loopback or whatever.
      Done….

      What it is doing:

      going to the actual network card im connected to.
      to the actual network router
      to the internet
      internet
      my WAN address 98.xx.xx.56
      then my server says um no this isnt for you only inside network please and thank you and closes connection.

      THIS only happens on windows. Android config is fine. I have no idea why its happening. The interface metric is lower then the others as well so Im at a loss.

        Any idea why it is not routing through the VPN when trying to connect to the routers WAN address?

            So the client side is Windows?

            Connect with your client program and go to the command prompt CMD and type "route print" and save the output.

            Then disconnect, close your client program, then run it again with admin rights, then go to the command prompt CMD and type "route print" and save the output.

            Paste both results in a reply message here.

              do you have dns resolver or forwarder enabled? then you could just add a host override for proxy.mywebsite.com that provides the internal ip.

                not exactly sure what you were asking. IT seemed you wanted me to route print while on the vpn twice but that didnt make sense o I have it on the vpn and off the vpn

                  @Birke:

                  do you have dns resolver or forwarder enabled? then you could just add a host override for proxy.mywebsite.com that provides the internal ip.

                  I have resolver enabled and I cannot do a host override for an ip address because the ip address of proxy.mywebsite.com is the ip address of the router. It is a reverse proxy and it has logic to know based on where the source IP address is coming from to route it to the right internal server.
