Trying to figure out why redirect host is showing up in my ping

Well if your all set on using wireguard as the vpn protocol.. 2.5 is coming soon, and should currently work in the snapshots.

You should be able to move the vpn connection to pfsense, and route what you want out the vpn that way..

When your going to use a vpn on some client device on your network, you need to make sure it is setup in such a way to split tunnel correctly. Your local network should just be access normally and only traffic that should go out the vpn is stuff that is not local, be the actual network your on or any other local vlans, etc.

Yup, that ^.

It would be interesting to know what the PIA VPN client was setting though if you're able to get that?

If I had to "guess" prob something stupid like pointing all rfc1918 routes to the gateway and removing the local route...

I had asked to see the route table had I not ;)

@johnpoz @stephenw10 I did not get the route table earlier.... my apologies, although I was able to recreate the problem. PIA VPN does allow for split tunneling within the app. I must have inadvertently entered the .118 host IP to bypass the VPN because when I do that, it goes right back into getting stuck like it was originally.

[johnpoz]

But not sending .118 down the vpn, shouldn't send it to your gateway.. Try splitting the whole local network 192.168.80.0/24

Also when you do that - take a look at the route table
