Port Forwarding not working while routing traffic over OpenVPN interface

[jacobsmith]

I recently setup a OpenVPN connection to route all traffic over that VPN which is working. Prior to setting that up I had port forwarding on 22 and 80 to accept incoming WAN connections. I also had firewall rules to allow 22 and 80 with port forwarding.

Once the new routing was set up, inbound traffic on 22+80 stopped working. I tried setting the gateway as WAN in the firewall rules advanced options, but did not seem to work.

I'm running pfsense 2.4.0.

Any ideas what to look at?

What ip(s) are port 80 and 22 being forwarded to? You would need to setup a superseding rule to make the gateway of that IP address be pfsense's default gateway. I suspect the IP address is pfsense's LAN IP so just make the rule and the mask would be /32 and move it ahead of the rule that directs all the other traffic over the VPN.

By the way if I'm right about the LAN IP I suggest you use https.
