      Hi im new here and just set up my first pfSense server, I have managed to do everything OK so far and my connection seems fine.

      I have just gone through the instructions here https://support.nordvpn.com/Connectivity/Router/1626958942/pfSense-2-5-Setup-with-NordVPN.htm

      and all seems fine I get a VPN IP address.

      My question is simply if I want to turn off NordVPN on pfSense do I simply go to Interfaces>NORDVPN and untick Enable for everything to go back and use my normal pfSense?

      Thanks

        @chefdeski It depends. Policy routing mean using firewall rules to direct which gateway traffic goes out. I have a rule on LAN that directs one client out my Mullvad VPN, and another rule for my desktop so that any access to 10.10.0.0/16 goes out my work tunnel. I just have to disable a rule to switch the VPN "off" even though it's still up & running fine as an interface.
