    I have setup openvpn with nordvpn for the whole network and I am trying to make a white list of devices that don't need to go through vpn but its not working correctly. Please see my configuration below:

    Here is my firewall LAN rules:
    56a0754d-56dc-4153-8806-c3c1cb023b32-image.png

    The VPNBypass is an alias for the few devices I don't want going through the VPN.

    Here is my firewall floating rules:
    861c117c-6eeb-4d16-925e-f30c164007bc-image.png

    I thought that by adding the bypass and moving the rule to the top would allow those devices to get online without going through the vpn, but when i use ipchicken to check the ip address i only see the vpn ip not my actual ip. Please advise.

        Thank you for the reply.
        I have changed WAN net to any, but still got the same result.

          Did you also change it in the floating rules?

          BTW: It makes absolutely no sense to have exactly the same rules on floating and LAN tab.
