      I have configured a full tunnel Wireguard mobile client and can route traffic successfully out my primary WAN. I also have a nordvpn openvpn gateway configured. How do I route all internet traffic from Wireguard clients out the NordVPN gateway instead of my primary WAN interface? I tried changing the gateway in the firewall rules and configured an outbound NAT rule to the Nord interface but this breaks the connection.

        Here is How I configured the Firewall/NAT rules. This even breaks local connectivity other than the pfsense GUI.

        I have also tried setting the gateway on the firewall rule to NORDVPN and it still fails.

          @xxnumbxx I've done it the same way in the past, and it have worked. The only difference is I chose "static port". Been a while since I did it with a VPN though. I think there's a guide you can follow in NordVPNs FAQ, you should check that.

          My initial thought is that you're missing a gateway, but I'm just guessing.

            If anyone else has this problem, I ended up creating another firewall rule under the wireguard interface. I passed anything NOT RFC1918 to the Nord Gateway then created an outbound NAT rule on the NORDVPN interface. Works Now.
