      I have a VOIP setup over the OpenVPN and it works, but i don't understand why I need to add at the interface level.

      NAT Port Forward
      Src Add Src Ports Dest Add Dest Ports Nat Add Nat Ports Gateway

      •          *              to    VOIPBOX   VOIP_PORTS      VOIPBOX       VOIP_PORTS        VPNGW
        

      Rules
      auto-created (in OpenVPN)
      Src Add Src Ports Dest Add Dest Ports Gateway

      •          *              to    VOIPBOX   VOIP_PORTS      VPNGW 
        

      the above doesn't work, until I add the below
      Rules
      VPN1 & VPN2
      Src Add Src Ports Dest Add Dest Ports Gateway

      •          *              to    VOIPBOX   VOIP_PORTS      VPNGW 
        

      Why do I need to add this to the VPN interfaces, instead of the OpenVPN. This is also true for allowing the pfsense to connect to the upgrade server. I have to create a rule on the VPN interfaces to allow VPN1 & 2 net to HTTPS or the packages are not available. If i create under OpenVPN it doesn't work.
