      Hi there.
      I have the current topology:

      947c5f7a-aec6-4224-aeb0-35cbce7bc969-image.png

      OpenVPN is setup on my pfsense, and I have rules set for the two interfaces out of my PC that they be allowed to go out either to the ISP or to the VPN.

      What's happening is that if I have both interfaces enabled on my computer, the one connected to VPN just doesn't work. I get an IP assigned to it, but I can't ping outside its network.

      If I disable the non-vpn interface, then the vpn connected interface operates appropriately.

      This is the firewall ruleset for the non-vpn LAN interface.

      And then here is the ruleset for the vpn LAN interface.

      Also, I had to set up a static route so that the vpn would operate. 0.0.0.0/1 out the vpn gateway.

      Any idea what's going on or what I'm missing? What other information would be helpful to provide you?

      Thanks so much.
