Forcing Outbound VPN Connection to use specific gateway rather than default

[cardblower]

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?

For WireGuard? No. Although you could try a static route to the VPN-Endpoint-IP-address.

On LAN?
If you're talking about a VPN client running on a LAN device, yes, this would be the proper way and should work.

But if want to force a connection from a client running on OPNsense itself to a certain gateway, you can only do this with a policy-routing rule for outbound traffic on the WAN.
