Running latest OpnSense with Sensei 1.6.2
On Free right now, but will surely switch to paid if this works well. Just beginning.

I have LAN (vtnet0), that is parent to 2 VLANS (vtnet0_vlan10 and vtnet0_vlan20)
I have a OpenVPN Server running (ovpns1) to connect to my home network when away.
Most my network traffic is ging out via a OpenVPN client (I use ProtonVPN): ovpns2
Some clients are going out via normal WAN (Netflix hates VPN).

Which clients to add in proctected interfaces?

I figured:

  • LAN (vtnet0) -- Than my 2 VLANS are protected too.
  • VPNServer (ovpns1)
Does this make sense?

Does it make sense to protect the ovpns2 interface? As it is a client, similar to WAN interface and WAN isn't proctected too (as advised per the manual).

Hi Flushell,
To protect Ovpns2 doesn't make sense in your config. Please don't hesitate to contact us via the upper right corner of Sensei GUI for any case.
