        Like using wifi hardware directly in pfSense?

        Commonly this would be done by creating a 2nd SSID on your existing AP and bringing connections one that into pfSense on a VLAN. Your AP would need to support that though.

            Oh, well if you have a default route that is via the VP{N then you need to add rules on this new interface that policy route via the WAN gateway.
            You may also need to add DNS via that gateway and if PIA had you remove outbound NAT rules as a "kill switch" you will need to add a rule back.
