      Hello,

      I am a total noob to pfsense, and trying to learn more.  After several attempts to get it installed on a virtual machine, I finally succeded.  The problem that I am having is that I can finally get my android to connect to the network via OpenVpn, and ping everything inside, but I can't get my traffic to route through my home internet.  It still routes through my ip address at work.  Also when I am just connected to 4G, or someone else's wifi network.  So I guess my question is what kind of rule do I need to create to route all OpenVpn traffic through my default gateway on my home network?  Thanks, and sorry for the dumb question.

        On your OpenVPN Server configuration in the GUI, do you have Redirect Gateway-Force all client generated traffic through the tunnel. checked on?
