Virtual private networks / Re: Opnsense with OpenVPN, how to allow one application to bypass VPN

« on: January 13, 2024, 10:35:47 pm »

OpenVPN understands networks, not applications. You chose what networks to route through the tunnel. One way to control traffic is to hard-code proxy settings into apps and then route only the proxy traffic through the tunnel, letting other Internet-based traffic go direct to the Internet (bypassing the Proxy and VPN). OPNsense supports the Squid web proxy (os-squid).

Tutorials and FAQs / Re: XboX One and NAT

What else should I do then, as I have set up the outbound nat rule and it is still not working.

I also have a static port NAT for TCP/UDP 3074 mapped to my XBox dhcp lease reservation IP. This plus the Outbound NAT for the XBox IP and the Static-port is all that was required for my stock OPNsense config. That's all I need. No UPnP. Set that, reboot the XBox, Network Test and it is completely happy and shows "Open NAT".
