General Discussion / Firewall rules

« on: March 01, 2021, 10:58:27 pm »

Finished settting up first OPNsense firewall.  Followed the NordVPN guide to have always on VPN.  It's a home network and I would like to block some internal fixed IP addresses from accessing anything outside the home LAN, even through the VPN. I have tried many variations of firewall rules while testing and nothing ever gets blocked.  If I want to stop all traffic from 192.168.0.50 from leaving, what/where do I put the rule/s.

Thanks.  I did see dedicated IP on the NordVPN website.  Also, to answer, I was losing 80% bandwidth according to speedtest.net with the OpenVPN client up (that is how I connected to Nord).   I used tutorial to setup connection: https://support.nordvpn.com/Connectivity/Router/1292598142/OPNsense-19-1-setup-with-NordVPN.htm.  Now I just need to figure out firewall rules......

Question from a newbie.  Built and setup a new device and followed the NORD help.  OPNSense worked fine, for a while.  Had to "renew" the connection to find a Nordvpn server that wouldn't bog down.  Bandwidth at times would slow 80%.  How do you get a dedicated server from Nord?
