      Hi!

      This might be stupid answer but would it be anyhow possible to force all traffic from one ip-address (internal) to my-express-vpn service?

      I have read that it is possible to use pfsense as a vpn-client but it is impossible to force all my internal computers to use that vpn-service. Basicly I only wanted that my OpenElec xbmc is using that one. Is this question understable?

        Assign the OpenVPN interface from Interfaces > (assign)  – check around the forum for details.

        Once assigned and properly enabled/configured you get a gateway to use for policy routing, then you can match that one client in a rule and use the VPN gateway for that one user's traffic.

          Hello.  I have read a number of forums that say to do this…  However, every time I try to assign and interface to the VPN, it breaks the VPN :(.

          As soon as I click "enable" on the opt1 VPN interface, the VPN appears to connect, but neither side can ping each other anymore....

          Any clue why?

            That is normal. After assign/enable/apply you must edit/save the VPN to restart it, then it is fine.
