      I set a site to site VPN with 2 pfsense routers.

      Does the internet traffic flow outside the VPN or through the VPN?

      If so how do i make it so that the internet only flows through the VPN.

      Because im looking at the Status: OpenVPN page and the bytes sent and received are low, even if i download a 100mb file. So i assume the internet doesnt flow through it.

      But they are connected to one another.

        Set default route on the end you want to flow through the tunnel, to the VPN IP address of the other end.

          By the end what do you mean?

          The one on the client side or server side?
