Do not set your VPN provider as the default gateway in System > Routing. Set your WAN as default gateway.
If you want your VPN provider to get all traffic, check Don't Pull Routes in the VPN Client configuration and POLICY ROUTE the traffic you want to go over the VPN on the interface rules for those devices.
I would edit the default IPv4 gateway there at the bottom and set the PPPOE gateway there and save.
That is completely wrong. Your default gateway should always be your WAN and never a VPN provider. If you want all traffic to go to the VPN provider with a route, they don't push a default route, they push 0.0.0.0/1 and 128.0.0.0/1 to you to prevent breaking your existing default gateway like this. (That's why it's called redirect-gateway def1).

ok guess i can change.. i never altered settings
how i set it up was
install pfsense.. setup wan to ppoe and my login and password.. and then i followed the instructions for the nordvpn tutorial as you see above.. i never played with any other settings nore would i know anything about that..
thats all i did
install pfsense
setup wan ppoe
setup nordvpn via tutorial and boom done..
and i didnt have the issue in 2.4.3 only noticed this issue after i upgraded to 2.4.4 and then i was having squid proxy cache errors show up internet explorer and google chrome which i had another forum going and they just said scrap squid proxy and thats when i was finding no more package manager and then the no more dnslook ups etcas for dont pull routes i already have that set was part of the tutorial too if i recall
-
ok i saved it as default now
so what else do i change since that didnt fix the issue still cant ping dnslookup or package manager.. or do i need to reboot and let it work again and see if it fails
-
You might still have states open using the old route. They will die eventually.
Check the routing table to make sure the new default route is there.I'm convinced that 10.8.8.9 gateway is wrong though, and that's the root of the problem.
But moving away from a default route over the VPN will prevent that problem being an issue for the firewall.

and like i mentioned i figured there must be a check box or maybe its my isp?
my sister basiclly has exact same setup installed the pfsense.. set up her ppoe wan... setup the nordvpn via the tutorial and both hers and mine running 2.4.4 now and no issues on the package manager..just difference is 2 different computer styles as the pfsense ... and i didnt have squid proxy on hers... then i was thinking maybe from the squid left something buggering up mine? you know like windows even if you dont fully uninstall it leaves something then buggers up.. could that possibly happen... im just guessing now
-
-
so if the root of problem is the 10.8.8.9 i will do chat support with nordvpn to find out if that is correct or not
-
That routing table looks more sane. Did that correct the problem with packages?
-
package manger still down.. but i can dnslookup and ping now and the pkg update command is looking better only 1 error it it now
-
Looks better to me. What, exactly, isn't working?
-
what isnt working right now is the package manger isnt showing the packages to install... cuz i was looking at the time when i uninstalled squid proxy and checked package manager... and i wanted temperature sensors motherboard monitor to see cpu .. but it cant read my motherboard and its a new motherboard and cpu.. but no biggy if i cant get temperature ..
so always set the default gateway to wan in the system/route.. see i never knew that because it wasnt part of the nord tutorial
but least this is showing potential so when it was set to automatic what was it doing bouncing back and forth wan and vpn

Try running these:
pkg-static clean -ya
pkg-static install -yf pkg
pkg-static install -yf pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade
Those should be safe from Diagnostics > Command Prompt but I would run them from the shell (Menu option 8, type
exit
when done.) -
i dont have monitor hooked up to the router right now... but here i took some pics it says locked.. but the package manger just showed up though .. and i forgot to take pics of the first command it did a whole list of lines of stuff
-
OK so another package management process was already running at the time. Try it again?
No need for a monitor. You can enable ssh.
-
it looks fixed i re ran
-
and no sure what ssh is

It will give you command line access remotely over an encrypted connection.

oh ok does that mean it simulates or gives you access to the console screen like if i was at the pfsense computer.. like the different menu options 1 for interface etc
