Virtual private networks / Forcing Outbound VPN Connection to use specific gateway rather than default
May 16, 2026, 11:46:32 AM
Hi All,

is there a way of forcing my outbound VPN connection to use a specific gateway rather than the default one?

I've tried a firewall rule (LAN and floating) to force destination traffic for the vpn endpoint to a specific gateway but that doesn't seem to work....

Any ideas?

Virtual private networks / OPNSense Gateway IP for Wireguard VPN Host on Linode VPS
April 16, 2026, 01:37:01 PM
Hi all,

hope someone can help please.

I've got a Wireguard VPN server hosted on a Linode VPS.
I can connect and use it fine (e.g browse internet) using the Wireguard client on my Windows PC, so know that that Wireguard server is working fine.

I've setup the same config on OPNSense and have the tunnel up, with handshake data passing fine.  I've also created the interface.

My issue is with the gateway.  I've created the gateway but have no idea what to use as the gateway IP.
I've tried allsorts...tunnel IPs, public IP of the Linode VPS...but it just does not work.

Any ideas please?

Wireguard VPS Server tunnel IP: 10.5.0.1
Peer IP (OPNSense): 10.5.0.2

many thanks for any input....
