How to route certain sites away from VPN on pfsense
-
I am currently using PIA on my Pfsense device and all the traffic is routed through the PIA and filtered by pfBlockerNG. I would like certain banking and payments sites not to pass through the VPN. Please help me as configure the route.

Add all host names you want to access directly to an alias (Firewall > Aliases > IP).
Then add pass rule to the top of the internal interface rule set (e.g. LAN). At destination enter the alias you've added before, open the Advanced options, go to Gateway and select your WAN gateway, enter a description and save the rule.
Ensure that this rule is placed on the top, above of other rules allowing outbound traffic.Consider that many websites load parts from different sources, not only the host seen in the address list, and may not work correctly if you don't load all parts over the same connection.

Thank you for the response. I made a rule to block a vpn site which is already blocked by my ISP. I noted the following. I am able to get on the site with Firefox and Chrome, which should not be the case and should not have happened. When I tried on Explorer, it is getting blocked. Why is this? I cleared un the cache. Also checked the connection setting. All OK.

Have you restarted the browsers? Already opened connections are not blocked when adding a block rule.
You may also kill the states on pfSense.
