      I recently configured an ExpressVPN interface and I only want a few of my devices to route through it. I have setup the appropriate rules to make that happen, but I'd like those devices to be blocked outbound if/when the VPN goes down. Currently they fail over to the default gateway. I checked the "Disable Gateway Monitoring" and "Disable Gateway Monitoring Action" boxes and it still fails over. I do have rules after the gateway rule to block all, but they don't seem to be hitting that rule. Ideas?

        Check "Skip rules when gateway is down" (Do not create rules when gateway is down) in System > Advanced > Miscellaneous.

          Perfect! Thanks, I didn't think of browsing the system advanced settings. That's what I needed!
