      We have 5 OpenVPN client interfaces setup each with a different endpoint. In the firewall rules the TX interface is on top of the VPN rules. If we disable the TX VPN client and enabled another VPN client, for instance, UK, the UK rule does not work and the traffic just exits to our local WAN connection. If I move the UK rule to the top of the list, the traffic will route through the interface.
      We control which clients are going out the VPN with an alias.

      We are trying to achieve using the VPN client either one at a time or multiples with different clients.

      Any suggestions on how to get the results we are attempting to achieve?

        Try checking System > Advanced > Miscellaneous > Skip rules when gateway is down.
        Possibly you also need State Killing on Gateway Failure.

          System > Advanced > Miscellaneous > Skip rules when gateway is down was the money maker. Its working now.
