pfBlockerNG-devel v3.0.0_16 feed update issue only while using vpn
-
Hello everyone! I've been tinkering with pfSense since years ago but I really ever came to using pfBlockerNG only yesterday. I don't know where to start. I was just following an instruction from a youtube video on how to install and configure it. All seem ok until I noticed that the Talos_BL_v4 isn't downloading. I tried to follow threads on Netgate support to no avail. I tried to use the browser to download the definition but cloudflare won't allow (and I'm using the latest pfBlockerNG v3.0.0_16). I tried to use a vpn (Browsec Plugin on Firefox) and it did redirect. However, when I don't use it (btw pfSense is already configured to send and receive packets only from my PIA vpn), Cloudflare won't allow the redirect and blocks it giving me an Access Denied Error 1020. I disabled my vpn just to troubleshoot, and it did download from Talos.
My question is, since I can't be doing this everytime, What have I been doing wrong with my pfSense configuration? Am I the only one who has this? What is the solution?
Thank you all in advance.

@v1t4m1ns4evr Turn off the VPN for the firewall I guess and use policy based routing instead.

Thanks Bob! However, I do not exactly know how to do that without exposing my pfSense update traffic on the internet. I'm not sure I want that. Is there a way by which the Talos traffic IS the only one moving out to WAN aside from my vpn traffic? I think there is. I'll try to solve this later. Again Bob, thanks for replying quickly.
