Bypass VPN

[retariatus]

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to figure out how to allow a single device (PS5) to bypass my VPN (protonVPN). Prior to this I used PFsense. ProtonVPN has a well written walkthrough here : https://protonvpn.com/support/pfsense-2-6-x-vpn-setup/  however it's Pfsense only. At the very bottom of the walkthrough they have a section detailing how to exclude a device from the VPN. I'm pretty new to OPNsense so some direction will help.

The keyword is policy based routing!
In step 4.7 in the tutorial, you changed the gateway of "default allow" to the VPN for all LAN clients.
What you need to do is to create an alias with MAC (or IP) of your PS5 and then create a FW rule above the default allow with source = your alias and with no gateway set (uses routing table).
Then all clients added to the alias will no longer be routed over VPN.
