Traffic Shaping and OpenVPN

I have 400/40 internet from my ISP. As such, I have traffic shaping enabled for uploads to avoid bufferbloat. This works very well. If I were to setup a OpenVPN client and selectively route traffic through the VPN tunnel, would the outbound VPN traffic automatically get traffic shaped also? If not what else would I need to do? I used the OPNsense documentation to setup my traffic shaping. I did not see any instructions around traffic shaping and VPN connections.

You want to shape inside the tunnel?

I would like VPN and non-VPN traffic to be shaped within the same pipe as to not exceed my upload bandwidth.

Then shape on WAN just as usual :)
