      I have a VPN gateway setup to let LAN clients surf the web thru a 3rd party VPN provider and that works fine. However, when I connect from iOS OpenVPN to my pfsense it's just going through my ISP IP. I'd like to also route this outbound traffic through the VPN gateway that I have setup for this VPN provider rather than the ISP WAN.

      I tried recreating the LAN rules and manual NAT on the OpenVPN interface but that didn't seem to work, so I think I'm not looking at this correctly. Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

      Thanks!

        From what you described, I assume you have already checked "Redirect gateway" in the OpenVPN server settings and you policy route the LAN traffic to the VPN provider.

        Hence the VPN gateway might not be your default. So you need also to policy route the OpenVPN clients traffic to the VPN provider. Also you need an outbound NAT rule for the access server VPN tunnel network, if it wasn't added automatically by pfSense.
