As an aside to my previous question, I have noticed on both 17.7.12 and 18.1.6 that a strange gateway is created by OPNsense when using a client tap OpenVPN deamon bridged to an anonymous (no IP) bridge.
The thing is called "OVPN_VPNV4 Gateway" (or VPNV4 Gateway?) and I have no idea which purpose it serves.
I tried deleting it and it comes back stubbornly in the list of gateways. Since it is created, renaming it is not possible either.
However it is possible to disable it, which hides it from the Dashboard. That's what I elected to do.

It's a harmless automatism for when you have a OpenVPN client assigned as an interface. It's not really there unless you edit it (note there is no thrash button).
Cheers,
