        PfSense can certainly do VLANs. I don't know about OpenWRT though.

        PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
        i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
        UniFi AC-Lite access point

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

          Not sure I fully understand the question, but yes, it is possible to run configuration like this:
          LAN--pfSense--[trunk]--switch--[trunk]--OpenWRT--Internet

          In my case OpenWRT router was configured to bridge it's WWAN port with a VLAN on it's LAN port.
          pfSense was configured with just DHCP on top of a VLAN.
