      vpn surfshark (ax) on opt1 and expressvpn (ac) on opt2, if i use lan port with pc I am in Japan and not encrypted. Both routers are vpn (USA) and both are encrypted, so I use wifi for vpn and encryption. How can I allow optx to use lan interface also so I can access pfSense on pfsense box (pfSense plus 23.1)?

        @elmo1943 ok if understanding your question - your policy routing all traffic on an interface out a vpn connection. But you want to be able to access the pfsense gui from this network.

        If that is what your asking, above your policy route rule, where you send traffic out a gateway.. Just put a rule that allows access to pfsense gui IP/port.. Simplest form of this rule would be just any rule to "this firewall" you would be able to then access anything on any of the pfsense IPs.. If not accessing a pfsense IP then traffic would use the next rule and be sent out your vpn..

          @johnpoz Thank you, I will try your idea. That is what I want, all internet to go via vpn router and no internet via lan. This is a little slower but I do not read Japanese and some sites have rules for overseas access. Thank you elmo
