16.7 Legacy Series / Re: newbie help with initial setup

I think you misunderstand. I opened with the reasons i moved to opnsense. that's all.
Current status is;
Problem 1
- i have defined 3x vpn clients defined (from the same provider)
I have tested enabling all three at the same time and at any one time, i have two online. the 3rd one doesn't come up till i stop on of the others.
i want to have them so that if the 1st is down, the vpn will switch to the 2nd one and so on.
i.e. i always want my traffic going over the vpn
Question:
How can i configure this to always have/use an alternate vpn if one is down - I see System/Gateways only works with the Interfaces and not the OpenVPNs. Load Balancing refers to Gateways for multiWAN. can i be notified if one is down via smtp?
Problem 2
- i can switch the client/s on, and they all come online but i am not certain there is routing over the vpn - or indeed which one as the two are shown connected.
I set a rule on the lan0
- source lan0 to any
I set a rule on the vpn0
- source lan0 to any
but traceroutes from the clients are being blocked and a traceroute from ssh on the box, is not going through the vpn.
what am i doing wrong please?
thanks of the help
