Openvpn routing all traffic through vpn regardless of static routes

[natew]

I just setup pia openvpn. It is working and routing all traffic through vpn. I want to exempt one ip to use the wan and not vpn. I've made rules to have alias use wan as default gateway but it ignores the rule even though its above the vpn routing rule. Is there something I'm missing here?

This may be a silly question but are your rules allowing that specific IP to bypass the VPN above the VPN rules?

openvpn route-nopull will avoid the openvpn-client to force its default route upon pfsense.
then you can work with gateway(groups) to configure what client must go where.

the downside is that you'd have to add the necessary routes for the tunnel yourself
