NAT Rule breaks after setting up OpenVPN server
-
I have an OpenVPN client setup for PIA VPN with a NAT setup for port forwarding. I used the instructions located at :
https://forum.netgate.com/topic/64905/automated-scripts-for-private-internet-access-port-forwarding
This works great on its own.
However I am now trying to setup an OpenVPN server on my pfsense box for connecting to my network remotely. I am using the wizard to do so. As soon as I create the server and complete the wizard the port forwarding I have setup breaks. Any idea why this would occur?
I figured out the rule created by the wizard that breaks it :
The firewall rule that allows any to any on the OpenVPN interface breaks my forwarding. If this is disabled then the forwarding works again.

Finally figured it out. It put the any/any autocreated rule in the OpenVPN category under firewall rules. I had to add a new interface assignment for the OpenVPN server and move the rule to be bound to that interface specifically in order for policy based routing to work correctly.
