WAN stops working when OpenVPN client connects

[zounder1]

Ok, I'm not sure if this is expected behaviour and I'm new to OpnSense so apologies if this is a newbie type of question.

I have setup OpnSense with a LAN and WAN interface.  I can browse the Internet fine from the LAN.

I then add an OpenVPN client connection.  When I activate this connection (and it connects fine according to the logs) I can no longer connect to the Internet with any device on than LAN.

Is this normal behaviour?  It seems odd that this is occurring.  If I disable the OpenVPN client, my LAN devices can browse the Internet again.

This occurs even before I create an interface for the OpenVPN client.  Which I find highly perplexing, as it is not even available to break routing.

I am on the latest version OPNsense 22.7.7_1-amd64

Any ideas?

In general no, it's not a normal behaviour. There is a problem somewhere but not enough information.
It is unclear what you mean by an OpenVPN client connection. Is OPN being set as a client to an external OpenVPN provider, or is it being a server and you have added a client to connect to it? By the reported symptoms, I imagine is the former.
Please clarify the question and provide more information of the setup. Ideally ip ranges, firewall rules set for it, etc.
The manual has examples too.
