      Hello,

      Just a note: before I added Private Internet Access I was able to view my internal websites behind pfSense but this is now changed. The main change I needed to do in order for PIA to work with my current configuration was to enable the checkbox Don't Pull Routes on the openVPN client page and to add the DNS server IP address on the client PC network connection. I do have hostnames filled out on the DNS Resolver.

      What areas can I look at to resolve my issue. Any help would be much appreciated.

      Karl

        As soon as you start policy routing you need to bypass it for local networks:

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

          Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. All is well now. Created a new rule using the default gate way and placing it on top of the rule with the VPN gateway.
