      ah ok i figured if the xbox data is sending to the bypass vpn and the vpn that would be the double nat issue.. i figured it supposed to just goto the bypass vpn rule and not even touch the vpn rule.
      because you want traffic only on the bypass not both as that would cause the double nat would it not.. its sending data to both rules

      as for the webserver i gave up on it at the moment i changed it to a static ip of 192.168.0.11 i played with wan rule and nat i if i use web broswer and type ins 192.168.0.11 it works fine well least to the one website thats setup as i wanna run 5 different websites on my windows 2016 server..
      but if i type in say www.example.com www.example2.com www.example3.com it keeps just hitting the pfsense router page

      as for the xbox or ps3 ps 4 they will work in double nat.. but if you want to have voice for mulitple player so talk on the microphone and couple other things then both PS3 4 and Xbox 360 One have to be in Open Nat mode to function and ill check out the link shortly i appreciate the help..
      its too bad there are no visuals like you could see like in movies you can see oh the files are hitting the firewall oh it stopped there thats the problem.. too bad in real life we cant see well the data is moving fgrom the xbox now it stops at this spot oh this be the reason fix that and boom goes through etc lol

        can you block the XBoxs IP on the VPN? but not block it on the rest of the network

        as i playing around this block and reject i seen under the rules but not sure if thats all you have to do

            I think i solved it .. from what you were saying and the helping and the how the rules go
            and then you mentioned thats normal goes to wan and also the vpn that got me thinking i need to block it
            it seems to be working i have VPN for my computer and bypass for the xbox and its open.. ill test more tommorow and get back to you but this is what i did seems to do the trick
