pfSense VPN Gateway (WireGuard + NordVPN)🔗

Steps🔗

  1. Install WireGuard (if needed) and configure tunnel with NordVPN keys.
  2. Assign interface WG_NORDVPN as OPT and enable it.
  3. Create gateway on this interface.
  4. Outbound NAT: add rules for VLAN50 (or specific hosts) → VPN interface.
  5. Firewall rules on VLAN50: policy-route via the VPN gateway.
  6. Test with traceroute or an external IP check from affected LXCs.

Notes🔗

  • Keep DNS from leaking to WAN by setting DNS on that VLAN to a non-leaking resolver or via the tunnel.
  • Failover: add monitor IP for the VPN gateway.
