    i attach a better betwork diagram of my static routes to my switch and pfsense

    https://s18.postimg.org/v2d0so15l/my_network.png

    yeah i have static routes set up to route traffic from my default network on my pfsense to all my other networks on my switch

    i attach a picture so you have more of a understanding on my network

    https://s18.postimg.org/nz8tnpn4p/route.png

    my pfsense ip is "10.100.1.254" and switch on the same network is "10.100.1.253" and it carrys static routes down it so my devices connected to my switch on different subnets can see the network and the internet

    on my pc i have made my default gateway the VPN network switch IP "172.17.2.253"

      Whatever that is it is not a network diagram.

            Is 172.17.2.0/24 covered by automatic outbound NAT?

            Do the firewall rules on the 10.100.1.254 interface pass traffic from all of the static route source addresses?

            I would not design it that way. I would use another router interface for the transit network to the switch and one for management. Management should probably not be a layer 3 interface on the switch.

                That NAT looks fine.

                You have a pfSense interface with the 10.100.1.254 address on it.

                That interface has firewall rules on it.

                What are those?

                What, specifically, are you doing that is not working? You are going to need at least some troubleshooting skills to be able to make something like that operate.

                  i attach a better network diagram including my static routes

                  https://s18.postimg.org/v2d0so15l/my_network.png

                  but i would had thought this rule that i attach works as i dont see it not working

                  https://s18.postimg.org/vduh5aruh/rules.png

                  my three top rules are for my alias "vpnclients" which in the diagram i showed you is my windows PC with the VPN IP

                  and the bottom rule is for my "internalnet" to go out to the internet this is the manage and VM subnets

                  but when i plug in the ethernet cable in my NIC which is on the VPN network i have network access ie i can see the LAN but not the WAN which i would have thought it would of been going out the proton vpn gateway but its not working

                      allnet is all my actual interface NICS ie manage (i call it home) DMZ and proton vpn

                      mmm… maybe i shouldnt put proton vpn in the all interfaces as really my all interfaces should be my acyual physical NICS on pfsense, what do you reckon?

                        So it's an interface group?

                        Those are generally only useful on LAN interfaces where all interfaces in the group need exactly the same rules. There are other reasons (like reply-to that make them not very useful on WAN interface.

                        Instead of taking short cuts you might want to stick to just rules on interface tabs for now.

                            sorted!!!

                            i made a stupid mistake

                            when i was making the vpn interface (so i can use it as a gateway for my specific vpn traffic) i ticked both boxes under "reserved networks" which blocks rfc1918 but i dont want to block them as the virtual vpn ip im assigned is 10.8.0.2 which is a rfc1918 address

                            i put back protonvpn interface back in the "ALLInt" so i can easily manage the rules under one tab as its long winded otherwise

                            also in firewall > rules > outbound i had to make it hybrid and copy the wan and make another one for the protonvpn address as it didnt work otherwise

                            see pic of what i did

                            https://s10.postimg.org/jk6oiio7t/rule.png

                            thanks for all your help in this Derelict much appreciated!
